Over the past few nights, Texas UFO Sightings and MUFON received three reports of bright fireballs in the sky that behaved too strangely to be deemed a meteor. Could these sightings be related? The sighting at Lake Gilmer may have been of a triangular craft however, whereas the sightings in Katy and Cypress don't mention such a shape. There was a fantastic meteor reported over the Northeast United States, so perhaps Texas got a meteor or two, too. Andrew K of Pennsylvania described it as "much brighter and more round" than a typical shooting star on the AMSMeteors.org website. Read similar reports kindly submitted to Texas UFO Sightings: April 8th in Katy: Yellow to orange light that looked like a fireball. Seen flying across the sky over our house at appx 2100 hours. It was completely silent, no other aircraft in sight. About two minutes after it passed two airplanes flew by. The two airplanes were clearly distinguishable. It was moving too fast to be a helicopter. April 9th in Cypress: Bright light in sky, then looked like a spaceship with red light and and either green or yellow. Was remaining still took off straight up and then turned and flew over my home, towards neighbors and disappeared.behind homes and trees.seem to start descending. Not sure what I saw but was not a plane. As well as the MUFON report from April 10th at Lake Gilmer: Me and my fianc were fishing on lake gilmer in an evening tournament. I felt an odd sensation that made me look up. We are in a flyway from the Dallas area airports and there were several airplanes in the area. As I scanned the sky's I saw a starlike object that looked somewhat triangular in shape that was traveling at a high rate of speed with no flashing light. I told my fianc to take a look due to the speed. At that time we were both looking at it and it disappeared. We both got chills and started scanning the sky's when we saw another object just like the first. It flashed randomly then disappeared. About 1 second later it flashed very bright. We never saw it after that. We watched the sky's for 30 minutes and saw shooting stars and airplanes. These triangular object were not anything like airplanes in the area. They were as high or higher than the airplanes but 3 times faster. Did you see a large fireball or fireball-like object in Texas over the past few nights? Report it!

Did someone in Corpus spot a real life alien? Did a UFO land on someone's lawn outside San Antonio? And was an East Texan's electricity cut off by a UFO? These questions - and more - are raised by some of the latest reports to come into MUFON, Texas UFO Sightings, and other sites. I got a bunch of sightings I've yet to share from this month and last, out of Houston, Austin, and beyond, and so I thought I'd drop them down here for you to digest all at once (sorry if it's a tad overwhelming). Very good reads, and many you won't find anywhere but here as the majority were submitted directly to Texas UFO Sightings. View May/June UFO Recap in a larger map May 6th: My wife and I saw an large odd light with no discernible shape behind the cloud. At first I thought it might be a spotlight, but no beam was visible and the shape was not round and appeared to emanated from behind the clouds. It remained motionless for about 5 minutes, but the light would fade at times and then intensify again, sometimes slowly and other times very quickly. There was another slightly smaller light beside it and 2 smaller lights nearby. The various lights brightened and faded at different times but did not seem to be synchronized in any way. After about 5 minutes they suddenly flashed northward at a high rate of speed and disappeared. We waited another 5 minutes but the lights did not reappear. I checked to see if there were any firework shows in Sunnyvale, but the only one is scheduled for tomorrow night. - Sunnyvale May 7th: Glowing colors various green one object yellow objects and orange - I was driving home from my mothers residence. One of my neighbors had one land on her property - Floresville MUFON Report (Note: there is a video for this sighting but you can't make anything out of it, so I did not post) May 22nd: At Approximately 4:18 to 4:20 am Wednesday May 22, 2013. I witnessed 5 distinct lights in semi-formation moving from 282° W to 354° N @ Nominal Speed, at approximately 2500' to 5000' in a non-Uniform fluctuating formation. May 25th: My 16 year old daughter, her boyfriend and I all saw 3 amber orbs in the sky last night. They were in a triangle at first then moved into a line, as one faded out. The other two continued in a line and then the second faded out and then the 3rd faded out. We sat in my truck on the side of the road trying to figure out what we just saw. I started driving again not even a minute later, and we saw 2 more in a line. I drove up to a convenience store, were we got out and watched as these two did the same as the first 3 we saw, one faded out and then the other. We thought it was over, so we got back in the truck and we saw the last one. It did the same thing. Treveled across the sky slowly and then faded out. There was no noise, all were the same color. The wind was blowing fairly hard so it couldn't have been anything like a flare. They were all about 6 or 7 stories off the ground no more than 100 yards away from us. they all traveled in a line from south to north. They didn't appear to be a "craft" of any kind, but more like lights.- Diana Miller, Mineral Wells May 27th: star like UFO moving then climbed out of sight - Around ten o’clock PM the electricity was out and my spouse and myself was outside to see what happened. I looked up at the sky to view the stars, while looking I could see the stars slightly clearer since several blocks were out of electricity. I was looking in a southeasterly direction and one star began to move I told my wife to look and she saw it as well, the star (UFO) starting moving north and got smaller and smaller (climbing in altitude I suspect) until it was no longer visible. The ufo was twinkling just like any other star in the sky but it started moving after watching it for a few seconds just sitting still. The encounter took no longer then maybe 5-10 seconds at the most. Lately I have been seeing things like this lot (this is my 4-5 sighting this year). - Port Neches NUFORC Report May 30th: A ball of spinning colorful changing lights sitting in one spot. It turned red and took off faster than anything I've seen before. - Savannah Carter, Grapevine May 31st: Two small crescents facing the same direction in the sky behind fast moving clouds. The sky flashed and a larger crescent connected the two smaller crescents. The shape was bright and slowly dissipated and was no longer visible. The clouds did not cover up the event while it occurred. The object appeared very far away.- Dallas MUFON report June 1st: it was way up high in the sky blinking going really slow and I thought I saw an alien - West Side of Corpus Christi June 3rd: Well it was around 6:15 A.M. and I was waiting for my bus. I was just scanning the sky hoping to see a UFO. June 4th: White orbs about 5 minutes apart seen in the daylight flying straight north at an incredible speed. We were in the pool and watch planes come into Austin all of the time and these were not of this world. Could not be a balloon because of the rate of speed and the altitude and the direction. The orbs had a clear circle around them as well. Freaky.- Austin June 5th: Driving down the highway, my mom pointed at a group of 4 blck dots we believed at first to be planes but we noticed they were in the same spot close together. Then the one on the farthest left kinda shined for a quick second (we assumed it moved) then the other three followed suit then suddenly they disappeared. We look all over the sky but th four black "planes" were gone. - Southeast Side of San Antonio I discovered a new tweet about the Houston area/Louisiana fireball sighting. @Bigg_Swayy tweets that it was "like 8 objects flew by slowly flashing with a trail of light behind each one of them, I think it was a meteor shower." But is it so simple? Even experts on this topic believe this wasn't your typical fireball, but a Chinese rocket re-entering orbit and fragmenting all over the sky for all to see. To add to the weirdness, there were lots of strange UFO reports that preceded this event - even of meteor-like objects. Also of interest is that there have been two reports out of Texas recently of shooting stars that stopped and changed directions. The only hard evidence I have of this "fireball" is the video that a boat captain, who said he watched the event for a total of 3 to 4 minutes, was able to capture. See the screenshot below. Does this look like a meteor to you? And is it possible to watch a meteor for such a long duration of time? Meteor showers can last for several minutes, and even days, but I'm not sure how long a single fireball can be observed. Latest-UFO-Sightings.net chimed in with their opinion: No! Here's the latest news report about the "meteor": Along with a comment on the video, made by the YouTuber who uploaded it: this light was in the sky for 3-4 minutes. this completely rules out the possibility of it being a meteor or any sort of space junk. What do you think it was?
With all those fireball sightings from Wednesday - in Texas and Louisiana - I've been eager to see a video or photo! Well, we've finally got one. The video shows a glowing ball moving through the sky, it's dark footage and it's a great one to add to the pile. KSDK.com, along with other local news outlets, reports that Captain William Lowry saw the meteor from his boat in Freeport. The Captain was stunned by the meteor, as he's used to seeing shooting stars, and this was so much more epic than that. The debate about what really flew over Texans' heads on Wednesday morning... was it a meteor, space junk, or something else? Either way, with recent UFO outbreak in Houston, and the Russia/Cuba/Saudi Arabia/etc/etc meteors, one wonders. A few quotes from the witness: (i've seen) "nothing like this of this magnitude" UPDATE: watch a video of the South Texas fireball. With all the meteor madness of late, it's really hard to accept the explanation that the fireballs seen for miles in Texas and Louisiana were the debris of a Chinese rocket re-entering the atmosphere. Why? Because that would mean - according to NASA - that the closest asteroid flyby in centuries (2012 DA14), the catastrophic (but fortunately not deadly) meteor crash in Russia, and all the other huge meteors being seeing around the globe of late, including this one, are all completely unrelated! Not to mention, the Houston area - which had one of the best views of this fireball, recently experienced a wave of UFOs, seeming to eerily anticipate this event. You might begin to wonder if there's something going on over on the sun or out there in space, something that's causing everything from rockets to asteroids to plunge into us. What do you think the recent "UFO" in Texas was? Did you see it? If so, send us your take on it, and if you've got photos or videos to share, bring them on! Below is a video made about the Texas/Louisiana "meteor," and it's a nice recap: This video prompted a bunch of comments, theorizing about what this fireball could be, from drones to Planet X: Yeah if they was over my home I damn sure would! My boyfriend saw them, he had witness to it, he's not into the YouTube stuff, at all! But a very smart man, I shown him what I saw three weeks ago, flying really low over highway 19 in grapeland TX, Houston county, it looked big, I thought a jet was crashing, then the direction the drone plane went DPS was sitting, on a FM road, so does the state of TX have drones? Flying over us? -Twisterbar |
