9/11/2016 Update: SpaceX CEO Elon Musk tweeted that he is considering the UFO theory. Original story: Another SpaceX Rocket has met an unfriendly end; the pilot-less rocket was loaded with a satellite that would bring Internet to parts of the world that don't already have it. The satellite was partially funded by Facebook but never made it, as the rocket exploded before taking off. People online were quick to note that in the video of the disaster, a UFO is seemingly shot into the rocket right before it explodes. The UFO does not explode however, but instead carries on:
Believe it or not, this is not the first time something like this has happened. In May 2014, a UFO seemed to cause the explosion of a Russian Proton Rocket:
Considering that UFOs are known to disarm nuclear weapons sites, perhaps they are developing a new, frightening reputation of destroying rockets, and perhaps even planes.
Or perhaps, as some are suggesting online, we are just witnessing birds and bugs that only "appear" to be causing explosions, but in reality are much closer to the camera. What do you think?

Video showing a large ship floating above the ocean on the horizon was posted to YouTube, and picked up by many sites, from the paranormal to the mainstream. The person who uploaded the video titled it "Rare Fata Morgana Mirage!" A Fata Morgana Mirage is essentially when light gets distorted and bends so much that it projects a real image, but onto the wrong place. Sailors have lost their lives thanks to this deceptive trick of nature. Despite the video title, and known scientific phenomenon, many people still speculate this could actually be a UFO and not a mirage: Snapchat I took of a rare Fata Morgana Mirage at Cocoa Beach, FL!
Here's another similar video showing the same optical illusion:
In October 2015, the Internet was astir with a video that seemed to show a city floating above the Guangdong province of China. Scientists explained this sighting as a "fata morgana" mirage as well:
In order to determine if people are seeing UFOs or mirages, it's helpful to compare to video that more clearly shows a Fata Morgana image of a small island in the distance. In the video below, the optical illusion is much more apparent:
Do you think the video from Cocoa Beach, or China for that matter, is an example of Fata Morgana? Or do you think something else is going on? Chime away in the comments or on the Facebook page.
Really interesting testimony and video detailing two dark objects flying parallel to each other was submitted to MUFON. Although the UFOs (or single large transparent craft?) were not spotted in Texas, they weren't very far - in Florida: I was by the pool relaxing and had my eyes closed for a few minutes, but I felt the need to open my eyes and look to my top left to the sky. At first I thought I had some dots in my contacts or something affecting my vision from having my eyes closed earlier. But as I blinked it didn't go away. First thought was like are those balloons? And at first the 2 objects were not that far from me so that's why I thought the balloons are raising into the air. But then I knew there were not balloons as they had the same distance from each other and going in the same direction. beautifully parallel. There was no specific sound, calmness really. The 2 objects kept moving NE but higher to the sky from the initial point I saw them. As soon as I realized this may be something, I started to taking a video and pictures with my phone. However, my video stopped recording after some seconds so I tried another video and it only did a few seconds so I just kept trying to take picture and zoom it as much possible to get a better view. It latest a few minutes. I actually called my mom to tell her and she said she was close so I was telling her I will go to her to show her and my dad. However, our connection failed. So I recalled and said I am coming but as soon as I said that I saw the 2 objects slightly move to the left and disappeared instantly. I wanted to share my experience with others because I am certain this was a unique UFO experience. I also felt an itch on my left and I saw like a line which I took a picture of. The redness lasted at least 30 minutes and don't have it anymore.
Do you live in Florida, or happen to visit, and see this as well? Report it! Think you know what this is? Share your thoughts in the comments or on the Facebook page.
12/9/15 Update: The same phenomenon has been seen in Siberia now
11/11/15 Update: Navy launches a second missile test on California Coast --- Just a few days ago Texas UFO Sightings reported on a scary-looking rocket launch in Florida that was mistaken for a scary-looking UFO. Well, now we can get freaked out by an equally scary-looking submarine missile test launch (according to the NAVY). On the evening of November 7th, 2015 at around 6 PM pacific time, masses of people - including celebrities like actor Lena Dunham and country singer Cam - saw a bright glowing ball of light with a halo around it silently travel across and then appear to explode and dissipate. The event was witnessed in California, Arizona, and even Nevada, and what witnesses saw depended on the exact time and place they were watching. The sighting appeared to last for no longer than 1 to 2 minutes. Plenty of local and national news outlets have picked up on the story. Many people aren't buying the official explanation being offered up by those news outlets, though. Other theories include:
Did you see this as well? Have any unique insights to share? Please do! Got thoughts on what this UFO was? Missile test or something else? Share them in the comments or on the Facebook page. Read on for more photos and videos of this amazing sighting. For starters, here are some great pictures and great testimony sent to MUFON, one of MANY reports though, from Truckee, CA: At about 6pm, we had just returned to our vehicle parked off Hwy 89 after hiking to Lake Stampede. It was dark. We started to drive toward Hwy 89 when we saw a bright blue-white search light shining directly on top of the pine trees across the Hwy in front of us. We wondered if it was a search helicopter with a spotlight. Then,we noticed there were actually two spotlights shining out and that the object was hovering very slowly and was completely silent. We rolled down the windows and turned off the car and headlights to listen. We heard nothing. We also noticed a large cloud-like oval shape in the sky to the left of the object that glowed a light blue. The entire sky was clear with stars and there were no other actual clouds anywhere. The object went behind the trees and the lights were not visible; however, the glowing misty cloud remained, but was slowly fading and dimming. After waiting a minute, we decided to get on Hwy 89 and head back toward Truckee. We drove about a mile or two and could still see the glowing oval cloud in the sky and then we spotted the object in the distance going west. We pulled the car over and got out to take pictures with a professional camera. AS the pictures progressed, the object with the spot lights sort of dissipated as it continued to move west until it was out of view behind the mountain range. We took long exposures of the two objects so it would be clearly visible in the pictures (more than what the naked eye can see). The oval cloud remained in the sky and continued to fade into nothing within the next 15 minutes. It was definitely one of the strangest things we have ever seen! We were in awe. We continued to drive to Donner Pass Rd. and drove to the lookout parking lot before the bridge to observe the night sky for a while and it was completely clear with stars visible everywhere. The strange glowing cloud was gone.
Even Instagram was intrigued by the sighting. Check out these shots from actor/writer/director Lena Dunham and country artist Cam:
Check out multiple YouTube videos of the sighting - many different stages and vantage points:
A very clear daytime photo of a white circular object (almost eye shaped) hovering in the sky during a air show was submitted to MUFON. Although it's not a Texas sighting, it's such a good photo that I wanted to share in case people can explain it: I was at the Blue angel Air show and was taking pictures of the planes when I noticed something shiny much higher than the planes. I took picture towards the direction I saw it - I was unaware that I even had a picture but when I uploaded the pictures to my computer there were 2 that are very strange. I'm not saying it is a UFO but I have no idea what it could be If you know what this object might be (weather balloon, drone?), share your theories on the Facebook page or in the comments.
