"Looking back I realize that pilot was probably feeling terrified and it was a harrowing situation. But at the time I felt normal and calm" - El Paso UFO Encounter

  • When: 2010 or 2011 (exact date unknown)
  • Where: El Paso
  • What: UFOs seen following plane and also speeding around it, and moving in different directions

A really compelling case from years ago is just now surfacing online! A witness has taken to Reddit to describe an encounter they had of "2 bright orbs of light" darting around a plane in El Paso:
Sharing my experience in El Paso TX (~10 years ago), UFO engages airplane. Hoping someone else saw it too.
In ~2010 or 2011, I was living in El Paso, Texas. I had easy access from my house to a foothill of the Franklin Mountains. A few nights a week, I would walk up the desert mountain a bit and sit in peace. Sky gaze, just chill.
Watching the sky often, I learned to identify the things I saw. Satellites, shooting stars , how an airplane can look pretty crazy from one angle, but if you wait and keep watching as it crosses the sky, you will always eventually see the flashing lights. Sometimes you see little slow moving lights that you cant identify, and you think "That probably has an explanation, or it's a trick of the brain, who knows, because I'm just not sure." So you think you might've seen a few UFOs, but being unsure, it becomes a little mundane.
Now, for exactly what happened, my memory surrounding the situation is a little weird. There are parts I remember and see clear as day in my mind's eye. Then there's other stuff that's just vague recollection. So I want to be clear on what I'm certain about and what I'm uncertain about. I was sitting on the foothill, with my back facing the mountain. My body was facing the city (east), but I was turning to look behind me. I saw an airplane flying over the mountain, from the west side of El Paso. All of that I am clear on.

At some point, almost immediately, 2 bright orbs of light came in instantaneously. I very clearly remember one of the orbs following this plane at extreme close distances, darting instantly back and forth, on either side of this plane like a z pattern. I watched this happen until the orbs of light both zipped off, upwards in an instant and that was it. The plane carried on.

I am not 100% certain how long it went on. I have no recollection of what the other orb was doing, if anything at all. I just remember there were 2 and one of them just zipping back and forth insanely fast. The plane was low enough that I could see all of this clearly, but I couldn't make out what type of plane it was in the dark, and I am no good at guessing distances or identifying planes.
Looking back I realize that pilot was probably feeling terrified and it was a harrowing situation. But at the time I felt normal and calm. No alarm at seeing a ufo engage an airplane. I don't remember feeling much of anything, besides just a factual "I just saw a UFO." I don't really remember how long I stayed out there after seeing this, or going in. Just unremarkable afterwards. I didn't tell anyone, I don't know why.

I think it's worth noting that Ft. Bliss is located within El Paso, and in 2011, there was an incident with video of many lights in the night sky, floating in formation which turned out to be identified as a military flare exercise. This is not what I saw at all.

Occasionally over the years, I would just casually remember or mention it a handful of times. It wasn't until I randomly felt inspired to look into the subject again earlier this year, and began seeing some weird similarities, that I began to realize the significance of what I saw. Some things that stick out for me are:

•deliberate, erratic engagement with an aircraft •how few videos of sightings exhibit any of the 5 Observables but this thing exhibited at least 3 •the fact that this took place directly over a desert mountain range. •Also took place directly over a military base, and other bases in the surrounding area •the weird state of my memory and calmness and immediate sort of disinterest

There's a few other things that could be me reaching, so I wont bother to include them.

Now I realize I witnessed something significant. I realize I saw something that I wasn't supposed to see, and clearly it has been covered up, because I have never heard or read a word about it anywhere in the years since. I realize there is at least ONE other person on Earth who saw what I saw, the pilot on that plane. I wish I could talk to that person and hear their side. Or anyone else on the ground who saw the same thing I saw. Is it possible that no one else happened to be looking up in the sky on that night, at that moment? Did they also just calmly accept it and move on? I have shared a super short version of this a few times but I have gone back and forth on really posting what I saw in hope of finding another witness or more info. I'm really conflicted about sharing, but I'm just dying to know more at this point.

We don't have photos or videos of this incident... yet! But maybe there is another witness out there who snapped a photo or has a testimony to share. If you are that witness, please let me know!

If you simply have theories on this UFO sighting, share them here in the comments, or on Facebook or Twitter!

My wife and I saw two very fast orbs near there in 2010 also. We had just climbed off of a communications tower in Chaparral after attemting to repair a NOTAM. Unfortunately it had gotten dark and we were exhausted (averaged about 4 NOTAMs a day) so we headed into El Paso on Ohara rd. 404 to get a motel. It was about 30 or 45 mins after sunset. As we were driving up the mountain I noticed what I thought were two red marker lights on a communications tower on the left side of the road just ahead of us. With no beacon flashing above the marker lights, I began jabbering something about "looks like another tower light is out". At that moment the two lights changed from red to amber and one of them darted towards a mountain peak with the other following close behind. I mean FAST. After reaching the peak in just a couple seconds, the leading orb pulled a 90° turn striaght up at a rate of speed that would have killed anyone onboard. The trailing orb did the same thing. They traveled straight up for what I would estimate a couple thousand feet before each orb's light turned off. We were so shocked by this that we took our motel chairs outside to stare at the mountain for a couple hours. Next morning when heading back to the Chaparral tower, there were several beefed up black suv's parked off road where we had first seen the two lights and 4 or 5 groups of about 4 or 5 men in each group combing the ground at arms length from each other. It was just the most bizzar site. Days later I told the company owner about it when we got to the office. I was ridiculed to embarrassment and let go shortly after. That'll teach me
