Golden Ball of Light Photographed Over Granbury, Texas

• When: September 5th at 7:03 PM
• Where: Granbury (south of Fort Worth)
• What: Yellow/golden round object moving around the sky
  

Photos of a yellow sphere-shaped object have been uploaded to MUFON (case 124998) by the witness, who claims it to be a UFO.

Now, at first glance, the photos appear to show a lens flare, however upon further examination, I'm not so sure... The photos and testimony remind me of other unexplained sightings in Texas from over the years, and in fact, it all reminds me of the rare, naturally-occurring, but poorly-understand phenomenon called "ball lightning." According to NationalGeographic.com, ball lightning can appear during thunderstorms. So, it's worth noting that this specific UFO was seen as a storm was rolling in:

I was on my deck when a storm was rolling in. I have the photos of what it looked like.

I witnessed a sphere shaped object in the sky as I took photos of the object. It was not flashing. But changed altitude and distance while observing it.

But could these photos just show lens flares? The witness may have even been viewing the UFO through a camera lens, or a window, and misidentifying the object (rather than being deceptive).

I am trying to find out whether or not a thunderstorm ended up rolling in that evening, but I haven't been able to so far. Texas is known for its short thunderstorms, however, and so it's possible I won't be able to find a record of one.

Let me know what you think about this case in the comments below, or on Facebook or Twitter.
