Bright large round object that projects some type of cicular wave fying by I routinely record timelapse of sunrise and sunsets. Great condition to see 'red skies" on Monday so I broadcast the sunset live on Instagram and also recording a timelaspe to post later. Stopped all recording after sun was down.
Still really clouds flowing so I started a new time-lapse 7:37pm - 10:34pm. Downloaded the file and did a quick view before deleting as intended. The flying object showed up a 7:54.
I'm close to a small aiport so I'm seeing planes all the time gut nothing like this. I looks huge compared to the other planes flying by that night. It caught my attention immediately and then it does something that projects forward that resembles a sonic smoke right.
Captured on a Wyze 2k camera with timestamps.

It was moving approx 10,000 to 15,000 ft. @ high speed, no wings and it was climbing rapidly toward the northeast. I was in my back yard watering plants when I heard a large jet to my south banking toward the east.
Living near the DFW airport and other smaller airports I look up quite often to identify aircraft. The aircraft I was looking at was a large USAF or Civilian aircraft cargo type gray in color. I was trying to see the markings when I noticed another very large cigar shape craft to my right traveling @ a high rate of speed with a climbing attitude.
This cigar shaped craft did not appear to have wings or any to stabilize its flight. It was coming from the northwest gaining altitude as it traversed. Living very close to DFW airport this did not appear to be any aircraft I had witnessed in the past.
Also, as former military I was trained to identify several aircraft as an Antiaircraft missile team chief. The altitude I would estimate @ first sight was 8,000 to 10,000 feet and as I watched it gain altitude till vanished it traveled several miles. Weather conditions were clear sky, no clouds.
The object made no sound as I observed it. I have no pictures and rely only on my profession training to observe and identify aircraft.

Translucent circle orb appeared while flying a kite I saw this really unusual object in the sky between 1430 and 1500 above our house. It was a sphere translucent white circle that appeared suddenly while we were flying a kite. The orb came close to the kite horizontally and stopped moving for about 6 seconds and then it suddenly disappeared by moving in the opposite direction horizontally.
It almost seemed to have been inspecting what it was that we were flying (our kite) and then returning it’s trajectory.

I see movement in the sky on a daily . Almost every night. I have a old phone crappy camera but I finally got the unknown craft that I've seen come to my property and watches hovering over my house , .
Somedays it comes lighting speed hovers right above me. It's almost like I know they gonna come be present. One of the times hovers just right above my roof, I got my dad to come see and instantly it shoots straight up in the sky no lights no sound and I see it there hiding in a cloud ( I have binoculars).
My dad goes back inside. And within one second it shoots straight back at and it dims 3 solid no blinking red lights . But it hovers over me and it hits me with 1 extremely bright flash .
Almost like it just took a picture of me. And its close above a one story house .one time I caught literally hiding on the very top of my tree in my backyard flashes at me like 4 times and totally invisible I see it on the opposite direction way far away not even in lik! e a second .
But last night it came over to me same craft it came n go couple of times till I saw up to 4 or 5 type of jet planes all over the sky I have never seen so many planes come out of know where and it shoots out out of my sight within seconds. And of course hovers literally right over me maybe lil over 20 feet up and shoots me with a bright flash .blinding then it leaves when planes arrive I dont even know from where they came so fast.

Triangle shape ufos in the sky every night. Rotation pyramid cloak Every night I go to my backyard smoke my cigarettes with my binoculars for a few hrs at night. And I finally starting catching multiple almost like cloak shaped triangle one bright red light at the peak and two white lights following the other points .
Be moving very slowly. Tonight finally clear night sky no clouds. And I got a good look at the 2 ufos triangle cloak only with 3 Lights and it seems to be rotation formation like a 3D pyramid rotating while both crafts are moving away from one another.
But what I cant stoo thinking about how it was spinning freaking cloak pyramid just above my neighbors tree line . I was completely mesmerized by the rotating of the craft. Just had my eyes glued to my scopes and watched it almost like a glossy style like one of those colored prisms.
Every night they are out there just hovering around the town. Wonder if they notice me noticing them for months .

Half white, half black/grey, rumbling sound and not that big I heard rumbling sounds and felt it like faint bass from a car, then it became in short repeatings about 10 times. I looked outside to see if it was a car, but there was a white half oval with almost black/grey on the other half. It floated in the air at about a height of a cell tower for about 3 minutes, looking about the size of a little bird heli, then accelerating going over houses to not be seen.

Blue and green circular light seen above texas ice storm During a trail hike at Arbor Hills Nature Preserve during some of the peak hours of the big ice storm that hit the US this passed weekend, Me, my girlfriend, and a friend witnessed a larger circular light appear in the clouds about a mile East of us. The size of the circle must have been near a quarter mile, it lit up the entire sky. The light first flashed blue then green then cut off like someone turned off a light switch.
The light was clearly coming from above/behind the storm clouds. We continued to walk in shock and saw the light once again a few miles further East about 30minutes later. Absolutely no other visible objects in the sky.

High altitude fast bright light At about 6:04 AM, I was leaving for work when a bright white pinpoint of light not quite overhead caught my attention. It was traveling very fast and seemed to be at a very high altitude. It was traveling in a generally north to south direction.
It covered an approximately 30 degree arc in about three seconds. At first, I thought it must be a satellite but then it slightly altered its flight path twice from left to right in a kind of jerky motion. After that I lost sight of it as the tree in my front yard blocked the view.
The light was much brighter than the background stars. The weather was absolutely clear. When I arrived at work, I mentioned to my boss that I’d seen this strange light.
He said that when he had left his home in Ana, Texas, he had seen the same light and though he had seen it when it was closer to the southern horizon. He said because it was so fast and so bright he thought it was “a falling star.” But he said he had not seen it pass overhead.

One disc-shaped object flying South over Dallas then followed an aircraft West. As I was sitting outside on my porch this morning, I glanced up at the starry night sky, only to notice a UFO. It wasn't like any aircraft I have ever seen before.
I knew this because it seemed to be shaped like a Frisbee, and it was pulsating with white light, one flash every two seconds growing strong then weak again. I didn't have a camera, and I didn't know what it was, so I just stood up to watch what it would do and where it would go. It flew in a vertical line South, turned around in a complete circle, and then it followed an airplane flying West until it was out of my sight.
I immediately ran inside to report what I saw to my mother. She didn't doubt what I had said for one second. Thank You.

Winter of 05, Dallas Texas. Light Pair exhibiting impossible aerial behaviour, & not fitting air traffic profile. This occurence was several months ago, but only recently did I become aware of a place where it could be 'reported'.
The UFO's came to my attention as I stepped outside my front door for some fresh air, out on the eastern sky I noticed two single orange lights, and my first thought was plane. DFW airport isn't more than a half hour away so air traffic passes through quite frequently, but as I examined the two lights their behaviour and the lights themselves on each of the sources became odd to me. I quickly dismissed the profile of plane as for many reasons.
The objects lacked the blinking red tail or wing lights, their behaviour as well seemed more like a helicoptor as they kept no straight path and would change direction quite erraticly. My mind finally assumed them to be UFO's as their speed was somewhat impossible for a helicoptor to match, they weren't jets by any means but how quickly and easily they flew through the air and changed direction almost on the fly kept me questioning. It was impossible for them to be planes, and if they were helicoptors then the only way the dominant lights could move so fast was if they were infact closer to me than I'd assumed.
Of course had they been closer I would of been able to hear the engines. The perceived altitude, the fact that only one light could be determined, the behaviour, they just couldn't be defined as anything man made that I had knowledge of. Wishful thinking has me hoping that they're the latest technology we're not being told about.
Like the Blackbird and the wave of stealth fighter development that had people pondering years ago. For anywhere from five to ten minutes I stood on my porch scratching my head as I watched these two lights. They appeared to be a pair, as well, as they stayed within close proximity to each other, they kept their maneuvers in a small patch of sky for most of the time that I witnessed them.
As I was about to head inside to get a second opinion on what I was looking at, the two lights parted ways as one went farther out of sight and dropped below the horizon, and the other shot at a remarkable speed off to the north and out of sight. For a person who lives near an airport, and sees planes and helicoptors on a daily basis, I found for the first time something in the air that had me vexed. So I suppose this makes them UFO's, aliens I doubt however.
((NUFORC Note: Witness indicates that the date of the incident is approximate. PD)).

Spherical cell formation, to strange lights and aircraft in the sky, and now actual beings amongst us. This all started about a year ago when I began to see spherical objects resembling cells. there was an outer circle with a smaller circle in the middle and in the center of the smaller circle were three teardrop shapes with the smaller side of th teardrops pinted inward toward each other.
the teardrop shapes would be rotating clockwise or counter clockwise the "cell" formation would then split into. The size of these would vary from tiny or almost minute to extremely large and I could see them from anywhere from inside my house to outside in the atmosphere. The only other person who can see them is my sister.
Since then I have seen strange lights and aircraft in the sky and now I see actual beings amongst us. I guess we are not supposed to see them or they are in some sort of invisible mode, because noone else seems to see them. I get very scared when they start to do thjings to me like I am not supposed to be able to see them.
I can see them and I feel it when they do stuff to me because it is painful. I know I'm not crazy.I see this stuff every day everywhere now.
Thank you for at least taking a report from me, and being open minded. Anyone who doesn't believe me, please consider just for one second that I am telling the truth, please.

My daughter and I observed a bright disk shaped object flying over north Texas today. I was talking to my 16 year old daughter in the dining room when she pointed to something in the sky (she was facing the sliding glass door to our patio behind me). She said, "Mommy, there is something in the sky, look.
" We went to the glass door and watched what appeared to be a very bright, white disk-shaped object traversing the sky about 500-700 feet up going precisely south to north at a fairly fast pace. I have watched many, many planes fly over my house and this did not appear to be a plane. It had a definite disk shape to it.
We grabbed the binoculars and ran outside to the back yard following it across the sky. I kept saying it must be a balloon but it didn't seem to behave like a balloon. (I video tape and photograph known flying objects in the sky for my IFO web site - this did not fit anything I have in my IFO database.
) I watched it fly to the south through the binoculars then noticed it seemed to rotate or something happened because it began to change from a disk shape to some other shape (this is when I knew it was not a plane for sure). It was descending to the ground behind some houses at about a 25-30 degree angle. This is when I had serious doubts that it was a balloon.
My daughter also said she saw it maneuver in the sky while I was getting the binoculars and she said balloons cannot do what it did. No sound was detected. I have a B.
A. and M.Ed.
in counseling psychology and research UFO's, phenomena and military technology. I hesitated filing this report because I believe most UFO sightings tend to be misidenifications of conventional aircraft and/or other common objects seen in the sky. I have to admit it was clearly disk shaped and seemed to be flying under some type of control and it went down to the ground as if landing.
It could have been a balloon or it could have been a UAV. I don't know. I've seen other unusual objects in this area now and then.
(It was partly cloudy but mostly sunny today, winds out of the south at 5-10 mph.).

I saw a sudden flash on a nearby pond, looked up and saw a white light with a greenish tinge As I stepped outside (it was getting pretty dark), I saw a sudden flash of light on a nearby pond to the north which was coming from above the area. The flash was diffuse but fairly bright in a cone shape -- lasted about a second or two -- the bottom covering about 50 feet or more. I quickly looked up directly above the flash and spotted a round light floating slowly toward the east at about 100-200 feet.
I ran and got my binoculars and watched as it slowly continued moving to the east. This was a single steady white light with a greenish tinge which appeared to be somewhat dimmed by the thin clouds (created by multiple persistent contrails during the day). Within a few seconds it disappeared into heavy cloud bank.
I have been watching aircraft in this area for over a year and am as sure as can be this was not an aircraft. On another night, I saw two flashes several seconds apart coming at an angle onto the nearby Lewisville Lake toward a yacht which was flashing its light also -- but did not see a source at that time. Are this surveillance spheres? -- Are these signals (short flashes)? -- Are they taking some kind of photos? What could be the purposes of brief pulses of light? Perhaps there is more than light involved?.

Streaking light seen overhead. Went from a standstill(hover?) position and then streaked off in a flash. On the evening of the 16th of October I went outside to feed the dog in the backyard.
It was a clear night and visibility was very good. I just happened to look up and as I did noticed a "movement" that quickly became a flash of whitish light. This "light" was almost directly over our neighborhood and house! Since I am not a trained "spotter" I cannot accurately judge the altitude and speed of the object but it seemed to be at least a hundred feet in the air in a hover position(?).
As I looked up it flashed and streaked off into the night with a triangular shape at the head of AN ELONGATING TRAIL OF LIGHT! The best comparison I could make is when Voyager goes to warp on Star Trek. Yeah, I know it's strange and my wife looks at me funny but it seems this area is becoming a hotbed for sightings. Many odd things to see around here if you watch.
I firmly believe that what I saw was a man-made(?) object with propulsion. I have seen many meteor showers and the little green lights they bring. Definitely not the same type of thing.
Also, no sound whatsoever.

I witnessed 15-20 silver spheres dancing around a large white craft in the skies overhead! During the afternoon, I noticed a contrail being laid to the northeast of The Colony, Texas (near Lake Lewisville north of Dallas). The skies were clear except for the wispy clouds under the contrail. At 17:35, I was scanning the skies for more contrails and pointed my binoculars almost straight up towards the east -- directly over The Colony.
I could not believe what I was seeing! There were 15-20 silver spheres spread out across the sky reflecting the sun to my back! The spheres would disappear and reappear moving slowly into different patterns. I would guess these were at least at an altitude of 20-30,000 feet but that is very hard to tell. I could not make them out without binoculars.
These soon disappeared and I noticed a larger white craft hovering overhead a little to my east. I focused my binoculars and watched this object for quite a while overhead then continued watching it as it slowly moved toward the area of the contrail to the northeast. It was white, reflecting the sun and appeared to have a red glow emanating from behind it at times.
It then hovered again near a wisp of "contrail cloud" and soon after was joined one at a time by 5 spheres. These spheres (maybe 1/8 the size of the craft) slowly moved around the craft -- with very smooth and graceful moves -- as the craft moved toward the northwest. At this point they were about 6-8 miles away I would estimate and traveling slowly at about 20,000 feet.
Suddenly more objects appeared around the larger craft a few at a time until there were at least 9-15 in various formations above it and to its sides. They all went out of view or disappeared at 18:35. Within 5 minutes, two large military helicopters flew overhead flying from the northeast-- the general direction of the objects.
I have seen objects before around here hovering over the lake or apparently observing or interacting with contrails -- but these were no more than 2 at a time! I have never seen anything like this before!! If anyone else saw these, please write up a report! This is tr! uly a momentous discovery.that so many of these things are above us. Look up with binoculars during the day and at night to see these high altitude objects.
This has been a truly mind-shifting experience!.

Extraordinary Event! Neighborhood witnesses oval light with large luminous contrail pass over houses 400 yds away at 150 ft! At about 9pm myself and a friend went outside on the lawn to watch the beautiful full moon and stars. At about 9:20 pm, I spotted in my binoculars a fast moving oval shaped gold tinged light moving from northwest to the southeast. Simultaneously, my friend saw another light passing directly overhead heading north.
We then saw another one at 9:35 pm passing overhead from south to north. This one drifted slowly overhead in a wavy snake-like pattern at about 20,000 feet. As an airliner approached its path -- as it moved toward the southwest, the light suddenly darted over to it and remained over it for a few seconds then hovered a couple of seconds and returned to its original path.
It began zigzagging widely until it disappeared. I saw another light a little before 10:00 pm moving to the southeast. All appeared to be travelling at the same altitude.
Then at about 10 pm, my friend said, "Look at that!" and pointed to the south of the house which overlooks the lake. Coming across the sky at about 150 feet up and 400 yards away was an oval shaped brightly lit object with a gold tinge spewing out a luminous contrail (which became approximately 50 feet in width). This object was seen by multiple witnesses -- neighbors were shouting out -- "Would you look at that!" and "That's not ours!" to the northeast and southwest of us.
The object and its illuminated contrail (which looked exactly like the persistent contrails laid in the skies during the day) were distinctly horizontal moving from west to east at about 180 mph for 1.5 miles. The object looked about 20 feet across and flew steadily over the rooftops until it disappeared -- "went out" 30 seconds later over the city.
The craft seemed to be fully lit from the inside -- or glowing smooth in appearance-- and the contrail reflected the moon on top but was self-illuminated with a slight gold and orange tinge. It stayed luminous and dissipated 30 seconds after the craft disappeared.We were in total wonderment.
So close and not a sound! Was it ours? Why over a town? Why so many? What was in the contrail? Incredible but real!! I reported to your center on 1/10/98 a light zigzagging horizontally across the western sky with a large contrail -- perhaps this is a similar occurrence close up! I have had multiple sightings of black helicopters flying a similar path near the house since that report.
Full Report Text:
Object with three, bright red lights came out of object with three bright white lights. I was in my back yard at 1:10 am CDT helping my daughter check on her turtle in the pond. I looked up at the western sky while talking to my daughter and noticed three, bright white lights in a horizontal row flying slowly to the west which I assumed was an airplane.
Something seemed strange about the lights - they were too big and too bright for a plane - so I watched it while talking with my daughter about her turtle. Suddenly three bright red lights in a row came from the left side of the object with the three white lights and flew quickly off to the south. The object or three bright red lights flew off at a speed faster than any airplane would fly.
When I first saw the one object "split" into two objects, I froze in disbelief. My 13 year old daughter asked me what was wrong and I told her what happened. She saw the two objects as they flew away.
There were no flashing lights on either object. The objects were a little larger than the diameter of a dime held at arm's length. Both objects flew low and along the flight paths as planes that are landing at DFW Airport and that's why I thought the first object WAS a plane.
until it split into two objects (I estimate the objects would have been over Lake Lewisville at the time they seemed to "split" into two objects - about 6 miles away). These were not two planes crossing paths as I was looking straight at the first object and there were no other planes or lights in the area when the red lights suddenly emerged from the left side of the first object. I heard no sound but probably wouldn't hear any sound from that distance anyway.
Right after I lost sight of both objects due to the trees I saw a bright flash of light like a beam of light coming from the ground to the north west of the objects but I only saw it once. I stood outside watching the area for another ten minutes but did not see any more flashes of light or anything unusual. Exactly two years ago on June 7, 1997 I saw a large, crescent moon-shaped UFO only a little to the north of what I saw tonight.
I have seen flashes of light come from the ground in that area before (mostly lake and open fields there) as well as a circle of light that appeared on the ground with no originating source above. About two weeks after I saw the UFO on June 7th, my daughter and I saw something flash/explode about 1/2 mile due north of our back yard - it lit up the whole northern sky. Within 5 minutes of the flash/explosion, a helicopter arrived from the west and circled the area with two bright beams of light alternately circling and landing for over an hour seeming to search the ground for something (video taped it).
I have a master's degree in counseling/psychology, past president-director of two UFO organizations. I am now an independent investigator/researcher of UFO and related phenomena.
