Wow, what a month this is turning out to be!... I can only imagine what's in store for us this Memorial Day weekend. Sorry in advance for this lengthy, light-on-investigation post. I got majorly behind on the latest sightings and need to play catch up. This is a list of recent sightings that I missed, not the full list of recent sightings! I will be comparing these reports to other recent reports over the coming days and see if there are any correlations (I'm sure there are). For now, though, you'll have to make your way through this chunky blog entry... View Recap in a larger map Here goes. May 1st: San Antonio tweet: Wtf did anyone just see those 3 red lights disappear? In the sky #Ufo #SanAntonio May 7th: Alpine, Del Rio, Texarkana, & Corsicana MUFON report: ... My eyes were drawn to 2 blinking lights that seemed to be out toward 118 North. They were far apart but perfectly in line with each other and kept blinking red, not at the same time and not in any pattern that I could notice but like they were blinking at each other. ... They were perfectly motionless for about 3 full minutes, just blinking red. No movement whatsoever. Then, they just faded away. ... They were already there when I stepped outside. I will also add that there was no sound, but I attribute that to them being so far away ... This morning I called our local municipal airport to inquire about the lights, and asked about government drones. The man I spoke with confirmed that drones don't fly this far inland ... he did state that what I probably saw were helicopters but they don't usually fly in pairs or in groups of more than one around here. He also confirmed that there was no air traffic ... he didn't want them [drones] here. So, I have been left baffled. When I first saw these lights, I immediately dropped the broom I was holding, turned off my porch light and stared stunned. We live in a dark sky community and I know what airplanes look like at night. This was something I had never seen before and could not take my eyes off of them. My heart began beating quickly and it just left me kind of numb and in deep thought the rest of the night. I've also had a headache (even as I type this), ever since coming back into the house last night. ... I do live near the airport and I am the wife of a border patrol agent, ... I have a friend who saw a very similar event about 2 weeks ago.
MUFON report: I thought to myself "Is that star moving?" ... there were 3 stars in a triangle pattern, the top right star all of a sudden started moving. ... I didn't see any clouds at all and thought it was strange but it must have been a satellite. but right after it disappeared I noticed another one moving in the same direction same same level as if it were following the first one and disappeared just about the same spot. ... they looked just like all the other stars in the sky. ... I found a post from someone online that I believe saw the same thing. UFO blogger site I think. ... believe I was looking in the direction of Alpine ... I had gone inside and posted it on Facebook that night as well.The post is still there May 9th, Sugar Land: ("debunked" by a commenter as lens flare)
May 11th: Houston and Southlake
May 12th: San Antonio and Comanche

5/20 Update: According to commenter "Fletcher," there were a few rocket boosters lighting up the sky on this night. Which could explain this sighting, or another one from the same night. A Houston area star gazer was surprised to see a glowing orange object move very quickly across the sky, followed by another object. There was a flickering fiery quality about them, but with no trail or sound, it's hard to assume these were meteors. This is a very similar sighting as one from April in Dripping Springs. Any ideas? Here's the full report, submitted to Texas UFO Sightings: Looking directly at Saturn and the setting crecent moon at 9:00 PM May 12 2013 from the GreatWood subdivision, an orange glowing object moved across the sky to the south and then approximately 2 minutes lates two more orange glowing objects moved across the sky flying in formation on the same trajectory. The objects clearly had the flame in the back and their were no navigation lights and the objects were clearly moving to fast to be a ballon. They appeared to have a flickering orange flame aft, and there appeared to be an object fairly long in front of the flame.
A Houston area resident witnessed several orange orbs traveling through the sky, moving up an down silently. That's definitely not how helicopters, planes, satellites, or drones behave. The night before, collection of orange orbs were seen hovering over Amarillo. Could these sightings be connected? The much-anticipated meteor shower shouldn't have been all that visible to Texans until the 22nd, a night after this event. So, I'm not sure we can link it to that, but you never know! Any ideas on what this could have been? Here's the full MUFON report: Solid orange lights (5 one after another) moving steady, then up 4 went ahead and 1 followed going up and down across the sky. No sound.
Luis Aguilar submitted a report to MUFON about some colorful, strange lights he saw in the sky over Strafford, TX (in Fort Bend, near Sugar Land). He watched two different lights, one big, orange and diamond shaped, and the other small and yellow float around and then fade away in a Southwest direction. He also saw another gray object, though the details of that encounter are a bit hazy. The full testimony is below: it was Sunday night approximately 11:00 i went outside the backyard to let my dogs in and I noticed towards the southwestern sky very bright objects one large and one small the smallest one disappeared quickly it was kind of yellowish the large one is very bright Orange color diamond shaped no sound it was drifting towards the Southwest and then west towards the city of Rosenberg Texas I also noticed before it turn west a Dole Gray object descended to the ground it floated like leaf The weather outside Stafford Texas was very foggy night this is the first time I've ever witnessed a thing so unusual thank you sincerely luis aguilar 2/11/13 1 am |
