I was driving home south bound on highway 281 and noticed what I thought was Venus in the southeastern sky. It was about the same brightness as Venus and didn't look to be moving at all. I kept looking at it off and on for about 30 seconds and then suddenly it was gone. I did not see it disappear or move away. I just looked up again and it was nowhere in sight. There were no clouds in the area but in the vicinity of where it had been was a short, vertical con-trail that I hadn't noticed before. I got home about 5 minutes afterwards and decided to walk down the street to see if the trail was still there. It was so I took a picture of it. I know it's close to July 4th but this was not fireworks and didn't look like a conventional aircraft as there were no blinking lights.

Tradewinds, Texas, MUFON case 122950:

Still from original video submitted to MUFON

Still from video, but brightened

This morning at 1 in the morning my girlfriend, sister, and I were stargazing laying down watching the stars, when out of nowhere my girlfriend said whoa what is that, we were all looking at different areas of the sky so i had to turn around . My sister was on the steps putting on bug spray and I called called her over .

We all saw a light starting to materialize like it came out of no where and started to get more and more brighter, then it started to omitting a mist or cloud. it had two separate clouds come out of them so fast, it took about 4 seconds for there to a big cloud like mist in front of the light ; the cloud started to look like side profile of a face and started to look like a skull, a face of something , it looked like a reptile in a sense. There was also a white noise like sound not coming from it but just in the air, it wasn’t real heard but more in the air and felt. The whole thing looked like it was behind a blurry screen of sorts. The cloud came out so fast from it like i never seen before . Then the light moved to the right a bit and started to disappear and the cloud stayed behind for about 5 minutes after. My sister also mentioned she was talking to her friend on the phone and they also saw it in San Marcos at the same time , it was intense.

After it went away my sister and I felt like throwing up but we just ignored it and my girlfriend said she felt drain and tired like it took her energy from it . It had kinda of a ugly vibe about it when we saw it all of left speechless.

We recorded just a bit of it but didn’t think we did at first

Kermit, Texas, MUFON case 122970:

We saw a hazy star looking object that was moving fairly quickly, high in the night sky. After we watched it for a few seconds, a fan of light appeared behind the original light. All light was white in color. The fan very slowly spread out while the original light turned slightly, continued moving away from us and eventually they both disappeared. This was over a period of at least 10 minutes. Several minutes later an airplane flew by. It was very obvious the airplane was much closer than the other object. There was 3 witnesses at my location and 1 possibly two other at another location.

Witness testimony submitted to me by Amanda in Aubrey, Texas:

I stepped outside to bring my dogs in and just looked up to see a bring light moving away thinking it was an airplane. After looking at it for a moment I realized it was not and saw it was a ball of light, projecting a light, moving sideways?.... It left what looked like a smoke ring. Note: multiple rings different sizes or maybe further distances I'm not sure. It didnt make any sounds or other swift movement other than quickly moving away. I used my night mode on my phone to get some pictures. Hopefully I can get an answer as to what it could be because I lost sleep trying to figure out what I saw.

Abilene, Texas, NUFORC report 168794:

First appeard exactly like a comet. Then more of slow moving fireball then triangular shape w peominent geometrical smoke plume.

Saw reports on AMS and thought they were loony with an event that was greater that 60 sec. Sure enough I have video from 3 cams and reports were very accurate from ok coty and midlothian tx.

Dallas, Texas, MUFON case 122944:

Saw star-like object--to high to be a plane--heading North in a straight trajectory with a vapor trail fanned out behind it.

Was walking n. on Bryan St. in Dallas, TX toward Fitzhugh about 1:13 A.M. Saw a star-like object--to high to be a plain--traveling North in a straight trajectory. The object was a bright white light--think a shining diamond--and had a smoke/vapor trail fanned out behind it. The object was visible for ~1 min. and then disappeared.

" This took place roughly 20 years ago and I have told a small handful of people about it. I've never written or typed out a description before. Details of time and place are not clear. A friend of mine at the time, David, and I were driving to his home in Justin, TX, which is west of DFW airport. It was daytime, I think a.m. We drove a route he had driven countless times as he is from that area. There is a lot of open land out there. The scenery is cut up between wooded area and open field on either side of the highway. To our right, as we passed some woods it opened into a field of tall browned grass reaching maybe 2ft high in some areas. I was looking off in that direction, to the right, when I saw 2 objects seemingly the size of birds. I think they were about 50 ft from the road in the field of tall brown grass. As the 2 objects rose from the field the began almost circle around each other and not great speed, but not slowly. As the objects rose they also slowly were flying toward the road we were on. As my eyes followed them across I could see in my peripheral view David leaning his body toward the window and his head turning up to also follow what I was seeing as I asked him if he was seeing what I'm seeing and he said yes. By the time they were in front and above us their shape and characteristics changed. The best description for what we saw was to 3 dimensional objects becoming flat and thin and possibly formed into one object and then vanished. It looked like a piece of film strip waving in the wind and disappeared. Its distance from us is hard to recall, but at the moment I'm thinking at least 100ft by the time it was passing over the highway.

... I have not talked to David since the early 2000's and am not sure he is still alive, although I have tried looking for him through the years for this case alone. We didn't hear anything from the objects. We always drove with the windows up because he hated dust in his cars and normally had music playing loudly or matching the loudness of the exhaust on whichever car he had at the time. Unfortunately, I am the opposite of artistic with my hands.

.... I remember them looking like storks, or pelicans, at first. That's how tall they were. I was really confused to begin with because I hadn't seen any wing flapping...Just fluid movement from their ascent from the field to it vanishing as one.

"I found one video afterwards that better shows how they moved as they initially rose from the field. In the video, the objects in the footage were making crop circles. The objects in the video look different to what I remember seeing....

The video shows the movement very well, but as I stated the objects are much different and moving faster in the video than what we witnessed. "
