"Basically I suddenly realized I was looking at a huge silver disc, just a big ass straight up UFO" - Hockey, TX UFO Sighting

• When: March 1st, 2001 at 6:45 AM
  
• Where: Hockey
• What: Large silver disc slowly hovers and then zooms off

A really compelling testimony of a "huge silver disc" slowly ascending and then taking off at great speed has been submitted to MUFON (case 111844). Although the sighting occurred years ago, the witness never shared it at the time, but fortunately is now coming forward:

Saw a big disc maybe fifty feet away in broad daylight.

I was in a school bus around 6:30am on the way to Baylor University to present my photojournalism project at the state German finals (which is somehow a thing). We were headed north on 290 from Cy-Fair High School. I was 18. It was really early (because even though we all had the day off the school had to make the trip suck somehow) but already bright outside. We passed north of all the businesses and were driving by the open farmland there (I looked Google Maps to get an approximate address but it's totally inaccurate and I'd more easily point to it on a map) while I stared out the window. I was looking at something for several seconds while my brain kinda nudged me, like it was registering something I was seeing before I really processed it. Basically I suddenly realized I was looking at a huge silver disc, just a big ass straight up UFO. As I watched for another ten seconds or so, it slowly rose off the ground--I'd say silently but I was in a moving bus so I wouldn't know--and got around the height of maybe a one story house, then zoomed off, zero to crazy fast out of nowhere, almost straight up but a little back and to the right. I looked around at all the other people kn the bus and they were either sleeping or facing inward and talk big to each other. I realized no one had seen it but me and said "OH ARE YOU **** SERIOUS!?" out loud to a bunch of classmates who started laughing and asked me what was wrong. I said forget it and that was it.
Sorry for any typos; I'm on my phone.
