Saw something very strange last night (9/29/13) at approximately 11:50pm CST in the sky over our house in Plano, TX. I'm an avid "naked eye" meteor shower and sky watcher, and took two Astronomy courses in college in 2005, and while I'm certainly no expert; what I saw Sunday night has me totally baffled.
I was sitting on our patio working on my laptop when out of the corner of my eye, I saw a bright orange light through the leaves of our large pecan tree. At first I thought "here come the nightly planes" which are two commercial flights that fly over us about that time en route to DFW each night between 11:30pm-12:30am, but immediately knew that was not the case, as those planes never have "orange" lights. So I got out of my chair and walked onto the deck to wait to see the object come out from behind our pecan tree. I probably waited about 5 seconds before it cleared the tree, (planes would have been visible much faster from behind the tree), and when the unknown object was visible, I saw a bright orange "roundish" glowing object that looked like could have been on fire. It was moving VERY slowly from Northwest to Southeast (the planes all fly Northeast to Southwest over us) It was not completely "smooth" around the edges, but I guess you could say it was a little rough around the edges? And as far as size; if I had stuck my finger into the air to point at it, it would have been about the size of a pencil eraser (so about what a low flying plane would appear), and being so bright, the object was either really big, really low, or both. There was no sound at all (also no planes in the sky at the time) The object continued along (away from me) at the same slow speed for another 5 seconds, then the "lights" dimmed, came back to bright, then blinked out completely, and for about 3 more seconds, I could still see the now unlit round object (which appeared to be light gray), as it moved further away...which is very strange to have been able to see it after the lights/fire went out; considering the moon was not out, and the sky was pretty dark last night.
Several things don't make sense about what I saw, so I ran inside to tell my husband who was reading in bed; and he and I both began searching online for any explanation of what I saw.....
1) I'm familiar with meteors and this was moving WAY too slow to be any meteor I have ever witnessed, and I've never seen a meteor get dim, then bright again, "blink out" and still see something moving in the sky. With all the stories of the recent "fireball" meteors and some being orange, I looked online and found several videos of those to compare; and indeed, those meteors were moving much faster across the sky than what I saw. Also meteors tend to travel down towards the horizon, yet this appeared to maintain altitude and certainly didn't look to be "falling". It did appear to get somewhat lower, but that could easily have been because it was moving away from me.
2) It moved in a straight line, and the speed was somewhat similar to if you watch a satellite or the space station high up in the sky above earth; and this looked almost to have an "orbit path" so I thought perhaps it was some space "junk" falling to earth and burning up. However, after researching this theory, there is nothing reported to have fallen to earth at the time of what I saw, or any space junk falling to earth last night at all for that matter. Also, from what I've read, falling space debris would have moved faster across the sky than the object I witnessed.
UFO, secret government craft, super slow meteor, space junk? Honestly it could be any of these, but all I know is it was unlike anything I've ever seen in the sky.

There was a thunderstorm rolling through, and the rain had just let up. I opened my door talking to my husband about the weather when i saw a perfectly round sphere it looked orange moving slowly just below the clouds changed directions told my husband " im going to take a picture ill send it to you!" It darted up diagnal and shot across right after i took the picture it disappears.

I saw a v-shaped object, with no flashing lights just soft pink lights. It floated above me coming from the 5 north at very fast rate of speed. I saw this object 5 times within 1 ur. And 15 minutes. The last time I saw this object I could see it had a body that seemed blackbut shiney. One time it flew overhead with only .one light on, on it's left sideand several on the right. Another time an orb or flash of light left the formation at high rate of speed. I have been a stargazer most of my life and I have never seen the skies so busy with unusual lights over Amarillo like the last month.these objects lasted only seconds visibilityas they moved quickly and suddenly vanish.

My daughter and I saw this and didn't know what it was. My husband saw it from the city. My dad also saw it. I noticed it looked V-sahaped. It just hovered as it seemed to us, but it was further west than the city.

Last Sunday 9/22/2013, I saw, for the second time in my life, a UFO. This one was from my 2nd floor (well lit) balcony at my apt here in Austin. It was roughly 9:45 p.m. Here goes... I was facing due south. The object was moving in a S/SE direction. From my view it was moving about 20-25 degrees above the horizon in a downward path to the S/SE. There was no sound. I saw it for about 7 seconds. It looked far enough away that it might be over downtown. (12 miles) It stood out from the background because there were 10 lights moving in the same direction on a clear night. These lights were arranged around the perimeter of a Reuleaux Triangle. The area in the picture shaded orange is the shape I'm describing. For reference, I will use the apex as the bottom left corner of the image I posted. This is the direction in which all 10 lights were traveling. The lights were arranged as follows: 1 at the apex, 1 dead center, 2 close together left leading curved edge, 2 close together right leading edge, and 4 equidistant along the rear facing edge. There were "wisps" coming from both leading edges as though is was disturbing the atmosphere enough to make contrails that followed the same curvature as the leading edges. No, I did not have my phone on me to get a picture or video. Not enough time before it was out of my field of view.

This UFO record it before yesterday, yesterday I went back to record but I'm editing, well I still have such sightings are frequent, at any time of day, even if you know who they are, and I would like to take this discucion ninguana as I do not want to convince anyone, the important thing now is to see what they want and what they convey, without falling into any kind of fanaticism, because most of the people who have had this type of event and contact them , goes through great disappointment in your life, when it begins to be attacked from all sides and taking home the brunt of this contacto.Asi I'm asubir these events, but without entering into any discussion, nor discucion.El that creates this well, and he that believeth not, just do not ever see my canal.Gracias, mrtigre3000.!!
