The lights were so bright I can only guess the shape.

I was giving my dog an extra walk and at 9pm there are usually several people around but I was the only one. I walked to the corner of the building to look into the darkness and the night sky as usual and there it was. It seemed close,,,not high up like the space station, it seemed to be as high as the small private planes that fly over sometimes. I stood still thinking it must be a plane and it only appeared hover or stand still,,it did not move. It appeared to be round but the 3 to 4 round lights were so bright. i thought maybe a helicopter but there was NO sound and I thought a hovering helicopter would be looking for someone and flash their beams around..no beam, just bright and silent. I waited what for about 15 min (it is hard for me to stand for very long and I went in the house) Sometimes it seemed to shift sideways a bit, or appear as though I was looking at it through the trees I was not.

"Dark but lit up" Rectangle UFO...

My dog was whining to go out at like 4am like he really really was about to have an issue. I let him out in the backyard and first he ran towards the fence but then went pee. As I’m waiting, I look up at the tree line and there’s this gigantic dark square hovering really close to the tree tops. There was a light coming from the bottom of it like it was scanning the ground. I froze. Totally froze. I thought I was hallucinating to be honest. I rubbed my eyes thinking okay maybe you're sleepy. I kept rubbing and the object didn’t disappear. It was moving slowly like methodically scanning the ground. I said, what the outloud and stopped mid sentence. There was a shift in energy and all of a sudden I got a really really bad feeling. Like doom. I know that sounds weird. Part of me was still frozen and the other part of me was fully convinced this flying thing heard me. I grabbed a flashlight to get my dog back in the house but was afraid it would see my light. Whatever it was I felt it had bad intentions to my core. I was freaked and didn’t say anything to anyone I thought no one would believe me. I quickly grabbed my dog and went inside as fast as I could. the object was absolutely huge.

October 2017 Black Square-shaped Craft Hovers Over North Carolina

"It was big, which I tried to explain, it was drab to look at if it weren't so damn big. It didn't dance. No one shot me with a ray gun, no blinking lights, no aliens to talk to, no details to the object. It didn't look cool like on Star Wars. It didn't move around. And then left when I glanced away. ,,, (the UFO was) very big off-sized square object either dark gray or charcoal only visible for a few seconds"

Witness Drawing

Distance: About 5,000 feet [altitude].
Shape: irregular pentagon(ish)
Size: be sitting down. W (approx) 520 m - L 770 m - D (approx) 80 m
My dimensions are based on comparing it to the visual and size of a 747 at 5,000 feet (about the same altitude
Color: medium gray or light chalky black (I wouldn't call it shiny)

It was about 7:30 or just after or about dusk this evening. It was straight up and impossible to miss. It was.. umm.. I have no words. Stunned doesn't do it justice. Shocked, excited, afraid, celebratory. None of those are even close. Actually I was awe-struck and before my mind could wrap around what I was looking at, it was over. The shape just doesn't compute when you think about something that could fly. The size doesn't make sense with anything but (I hate to say it) a space movie. I saw no windows, no lights, no cool attachments like a Star Wars millennium falcon. Indescribable comes to mind. It was massive, that's what I can't get over. Just so massive. I could see jets (we're not far from an airport and get lots of high altitude fly-by's). I estimate the jets were about 15,000 feet. This thing was around 5,000 feet but still gigantic. The dogs are what got my attention. They were barking at the door insanely, like there was an intruder. They'd stick their head out the doggy door but with great trepidation and ready to to reverse quickly. They were going nuts, bet terrified. I have an English bulldog and a chocolate lab and a (bravest in the bunch) Schmitz-zu. Anyway I went to check it out with a cup of coffee as my weapon. They followed me out, quietly at first, and with obvious trepidation (once again.)
it wasn't quite dark and I couldn't see anything but clear sky and early skies. I was facing the Big Dipper (a little lower in the skyline, almost at the horizon). All three dogs started barking again but they're looking straight up. I looked up also, and there it was. Big as a factory. Just sitting there. For lack of a better description - I wasn't processing, but trying to remember how to process. I was trying to remember how to think. It was just so huge. I looked away at the jets for context and looked back again. And it just sat there. I just stared at it, maybe five seconds, and diverted my eyes again for an owl that flew right in front of me (a big one) which in of itself is like spotting Bigfoot in the city. Is that bad luck? I glanced back up, and it was gone. Not a trace. If I'd of had a camera focused and ready, knew right where it was gonna be.. I still couldn't have taken a picture. It looked so close I could almost touch it (because it was so damn big) but I could tell it was about half altitude of passing jets. I had the IQ of a vegetable. I was just trying to remember how to think. It was just so fucking huge. Some car alarms went off, the dogs quit barking and the giant owl flew away. I was just standing there like an idiot. I came back in the house and sat down (my wife was watching the voice) and I didn't say a thing. Didn't know how to articulate it. Didn't think she'd believe me anyway because I'm always screwing with her. (And didn't want to scare her either).
My biggest memory (or most vivid) is weight. I just felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders that 5-7 seconds and for awhile when I came back in. Hard to explain, but grave weight like how someone with their finger on the nuclear launch button must feel trying to wrap his mind around and order to commit, but not confident in the competence of his command. Tremendous weight. But nothing political like my example or even clear in any way to me. Just weight. Dark not fun weight. Unbelievable responsibility. This lasted about five minutes. Plus I had the shakes like a junkie and have the ashes on the floor rug to prove it.
Finally after that maybe five or ten minutes, I talked to my wife about it (after swearing her to secrecy). I called 911 and the sheriffs office to see if there were any reports. There were none and I didn't make one either. And now, I'm just confused and losing confidence in myself. I'm writing this for some cathartic self analysis, not because I expect a response.
I got no pic. No video. No witnesses (unless you speak bark or arf). And I'm not even excited like I always thought I would be. I still have this confusion. It's like there's something I'm supposed to remember about it but when I think about it, I feel that weight again so I quickly try not to think about it. It's an internal battle. (I'm not crazy as I sound)
Anyway, thanks for the self analysis. Send me a bill. After reading my note I prescribe a Valium and a heavy dose of "never tell anyone."
Before tonight if you had asked me if I had seen a UFO I'd of answered yes. I've seen objects sitting still and shooting off. Satellites that stopped then went another way. But I didn't see a UFO. I saw anomalies. possibilities, and the explainable. Now if you asked me if I've seen a UFO - I'd say no. My story is to big to tell. To real to tell. Absolute positive witnessing to tell. I know I've seen a UFO because I can't tell anybody. That's how you know. And if I did say I saw a UFO, I'd refer to my early [acceptable] experiences, and not this one.

Long Exposure

So...last night around 11:30pm, I was doing some suburban stargazing in my backyard when I noticed an abnormally bright object which I thought to be a planet at the time. I looked with binoculars and noticed that it was emitting lights. I proceeded to take some photos with my camera and tripod. Now, I know that streaking of lights can happen when you move during a long exposure, but this is sort of odd. I've simply never seen anything in the sky that gave off so many colors of lights. I eventually got S**** and A******* to take a look at it maybe 10 to 15 minutes later, and it had moved...but barely (maybe a fist length with arm extended). So, after a teeny bit of research, I found out that satellites don't usually have lights other than the international space station (not visible from the ground) plus there weren't any abnormally bright satellites in the area at the time anyways. So, it must have been an aircraft, but moving really really slow and giving off literally rainbows of flashing lights. Odd. Also strange that the streaking of lights does not seem to affect the stars in some of the photos.

There was another sighting in Taylor tonight (7-12-14). A bluish light rising from the southeast and then travelling northwest. The light split into two before disappearing. This was witnessed by three law enforcement officials who wish to remain anonymous.

Saw 2 white-orange lights side by side moving super fast from south to north over Hurst around 12am
Texas UFO Sightings blog comment by Steve Hartley

At first, it looked like it was coming straight at us and we thought it was an airplane, but it was super fast.
Ryan W, AMSmeteors.com report from Georgetown

I have seen shooting stars before. There streak across and then just disappear overhead as if they burned out, but this was NOTHING like that. This object was LARGE, extremely bright, and moving very
fast compared to the speed of an airplane. I have never ever seen anything like this. My husband and I were in awe of this spectacular event. After checking Facebook, I noticed others in the area saw this as well. Amazing.... Just an amazing sight.
Katy W, Amsmeteors.org report from Louisiana

Seemed to slow down after about 16s of travel and break into two segments.

This fireball was very, very low and moving incredibly slow. It looked like any other "shooting star" I had seen, but I just cannot emphasize enough how incredibly low and slow it was moving.
Samantha B, AMSMeteors.org report from Louisiana

Saw a bluish light in eastern sky and thought it was a shooting star.but it went up very fast then split into two when it was almost straight up then disappeared! Awesome!

Two small round white objects flying together at a very high rate of speed, no sound, over lake conroe. Faster than a jet. Did not look like a meteor or shooting star. Around 9:05 pm.

Two dots side by side flying through the sky then disapearded
Reader, Tomball

A cluster of 4 white, pulsating lights shooting at a low altitude across the sky. East to West. No noise, no trail. Had to be over 1,000 mph.
Reader, Kingwood

We're sitting on the patio and my wife says, "man, that plane is moving fast. I move to look and saw a light going really fast and then all of a sudden it took off even faster towards the north and disappeared. We see air force jets flying all the time and I've never seem anything so fast. About 15 minutes later we hear and see drones flying around. Mind you, the craft we saw earlier didn't make a sound during flight not during "takeoff".

My husband and I were driving on Wilcrest towards Bellaire around 9:00pm and we saw 2 bright (kind of light blue) lights flying next to each other. First one had 1 path, the 2nd kept moving slower, then faster, then moved away, then got closer to the 1st. It seemed close them got further. Then it seemed like the dove away because the lights fainted. We typically don't believe in UFO's but there was something really strange in the sky. It wasn't a plane or a firework. It's capability of erratic speed, color, shape (orb) and path isn't like anything we've ever seen in our lives. Did anyone else see this?
