UFO up close

MUFON report (original one I came across, reported by son)

Silver Metallic Disc Shaped UFO observed during Houston Air Show

While photographing performing airplanes at the Wings Over Houston Airshow at Ellington Airforce Base on Saturday October 9th, my father noticed a small metallic object at a much higher altitude than the performing aircraft positioned directly overhead. Most of the performing aircraft were at a low altitude usually under 1,000 feet. It was difficult to say how high the object was since there was nothing else around it, but it was extremely high up; at least 12,000 feet if I had to guess, possibly much higher. He pointed it out to myself and two other spectators and we watched the object for about 5 minutes. The object was too far away to make out details, however it was clear it was not an airplane as it seemed to be stationary in the sky. As it was a sunny day with some clouds, the object seemed to be metallic as we could see a clear shine from it in the sun and it appeared to be a rounded. After a few minutes, the object seemed to drift to a different point in the sky and then again became stationary. When moving, the object left no sort of trail and didn’t show any evidence of engines or afterburners. My father took a picture of it with his DSLR camera and after five total minutes of observing the object it moved behind some clouds and we lost sight of it. A week later my father and I were reviewing the pictures we took at the airshow and came across the picture he took of the object. Amazingly we were able to zoom in on the object and get a decently detailed picture of it. The picture shows a disc/oval shaped silver object very clearly. Based on what we saw and the picture, there is no way it could have been a helicopter, airplane, or drone. My father is an engineer, and I am an engineering college student. Aircraft have been a hobby of ours all my life and we have never seen anything move or look the way this object did. I’ve seen jetliners, metallic WW2 aircraft, and drones at high altitude and have always been able to tell that they are some sort of airplane; this object looked nothing like that.

Stationary silver metallic oval object at high altitude during 2021 Houston Air Show

While photographing acrobatic and performing airplanes at the Wings Over Houston Airshow at Ellington Air Force Base on Saturday October 9, I noticed a single small metallic object at a much higher altitude than the performing aircraft and located directly overhead and slightly to the left. Most of the performing aircraft seemed to be at altitudes between 300 feet to approximately 1,000 feet. This object seemed to be around 10,000 to 15,000 feet. The object left no trail of any kind. I pointed the object out to my son and two other spectators one row over also began looking at it. I observed the object for about 4 to 5 minutes. The object was too far away to make out details, however it was clear it was not an airplane as it seemed to be completely stationary in the sky. It was mostly a clear and sunny day and the object seemed to be metallic (silver) as I could see the reflection of the sun from it. The object seemed round or oval shaped. After a few minutes of being stationary, the object seemed to slowly drift to a different point in the sky and then again became stationary. I took a photograph of the metallic object with my Cannon EOS Rebel T6 digital camera with a 75-300mm zoom lens. I had to sit down in my spectator chair and point the camera directly overhead and slightly to my left to capture the object. The object then slowly moved behind some clouds and I lost sight of it. Once we downloaded the digital picture and further zoomed in on our computer, you could make out a metallic oval shaped object.

I am 56 years old and am an Environmental, Health, and Safety Manger. I enjoy photographing wildlife and vintage aircraft at air shows.

Large disc with small rectangular lights sighted on our near ground and the took off leaving vapor trail

My weekend farm is located at ((address deleted)) Nemo, TXU. It is in the country. Across my front field, my nephew and I were leaving our barn and I saw a square bright light with a square halo around it across the county road on the side of a tree covered hill. I asked him, “ what is that light”. He joked and said it must be some sort of ritual in the woods and left to go to his house behind the barn. I got in my ATV and backed it out of the bar so that the headlights shined on the area where the light was shining. Within seconds the light turned off and then a large silhouetted disk with rectangular lights around the edges began to rise until it was above the trees, then slightly moved to the right. It’s size was about the length of a school bus. I was in shock because of what I was watching, then it zipped away almost undetectable except for a distinct vapor trail. The trail was in a large arc up into the clouds. There was a glow above the clouds and then a large bolt of lightening, then thunder. A downpour ensued. Whenever there was lightening, I could see the vapor trail although it was dissipating quickly. Amazing!

Flaming disc fell then disappeared very close up.

I was driving about 10-14 miles west of Ozona, Texas at around 11:26 p.m.  I saw to my right hand side a huge flaming disc falling rapidly, straight down from the sky. It was covered in a green plasma type looking flame, with white sparks flying off both the sides.    The disc was shaped like a bowl, with the round side facing underneath. It was as close to me as a commercial flight airliner would be on a tarmac  while seated in another plane waiting for takeoff.  It was also easily just as large as a commercial airliner, if not larger. Just as it was about to make impact with the ground, it seemed to completely disappear in a split second. It would have made a huge impact, leaving debris and making a large sound if it had actually crashed. I almost stopped and walked out to the spot off the freeway where I saw it, but I was too afraid to do so.

Like a metal satellite - tic tac shaped?

I observed this metal object, shaped like a satellite or tic tac or a long pill like object, do not recall seeing wings on it. I was on a Southwest flight that had just departed DFW and was headed northbound for Tulsa. I was sitting in the window seat taking pictures out the window of the clouds below us, and saw this object fly by so I snapped a few pics. Time stamp on my pictures says it was 11:54 am and I was flying northbound over Texoma and Pottsboro, TX. The object was flying in the opposite direction of my plane, so it was headed southbound. It seemed pretty close to the plane I was on, maybe a mile away from us if that. I was startled to see something fly by so close and it was about the same altitude as the SWA plane I was riding. I thought it was a satellite flying by the plane, but I have since been told and read online that satellites fly much higher into space than a commercial plane. I am pretty sure it was not a drone as seemed the size of a small plane maybe. I'm really not sure what it was. Please see the 2 pictures I was able to take and I have circled the object I saw fly by the plane. Would love your thoughts on what it might be. Thank you!

UFO up close

Witness drawing

I encountered a UFO over my home when I was 14 in 1974 after my Dogs began to bark at the sky and I noticed the tree tops were bent over and the wind was up. So I stepped out on my front porch and as I looked up the only thing I could see was the underside of a Silver disk shaped object with multi colored lights(red,yellow,blue,green) pulsating around the under edge of the craft. It had a humming sound and hovered around 150 ft off the ground about the size of a football field. I didn’t see any hatches/doors or exhaust just smooth metal no markings and stayed in place for at least 10-15 min I felt very calm but curious, then as I stepped down off the porch for a closer look darted off in a flash with no sound. Wind died down and the sky was clear. Moments later my brother came home after having his on experience just up the road for our house. His car radio went all static and then his car died. Later that evening I noticed a spotlight searching the woods around my house show my Mom and see say it was a black helicopter and thought maybe they were looking for escaped prisoner or something.

When: May 1st, 1974 at 10:30 PM Where: Waco and Bellmead What: Dome-shaped craft hovers over vehicle and then silently speeds away, Men in Black possibly encountered after sighting
