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.

metallic ring shaped object

Driving south on hwy 60 towards east bernard, tx, noticed an object flying towards me from over east bernard heading north parallel to hwy 60. first thought maybe a helicopter at low altitude. But as it became clearer it was a ring, or donut shaped object flying vertical with the hole in the center flying into the wind. it was metallic but kinda dirty looking also. it was also not crystal clear, like it had a hazy distortion around it. similar to heat waves. it appeared to be 500 to 750 feet above the ground, maybe 15 to 20 feet in diameter and was moving 50 to 60 mph in the opposite direction to me. it had something hanging down from it, like a skinny pole, or antenna type appendage. it was moving with the object, not flopping or moving independently. i pulled over on the shoulder of the road to turn around and pursue it and takes pictures, however because of traffic it took 15 to 20 seconds before i could turn around. i could see it when i turned but it had moved quite a bit away already. it was reflecting light from the sun so i could easily still see it, when i found a pull off spot i got out of my car and it was just gone. either vanished or had sped off out of sight at a high speed, i'm not sure, but it as gone. i drove a couple more miles in the direction it was traveling but never saw it again.
