Mass Sighting - STrange Lights Form Triangle Over Pflugerville

• When: January 19th, 2014
• Where: Pflugerville (in between Austin and Round Rock)
• What: Several orbs forming triangles

Many were witness to some strange activity in the Pflugerville sky.

For starters, a Texan driving on the road spotted several bright orange/white lights in the sky, rotating around in triangle formations and then disappearing. People in the car next to this witness also saw them and were staring up in awe. Later, the witness talked up a local police officer about the sighting, but he hadn't heard about it yet.

While we don't have photos or videos, we do have a description of the event, kindly submitted to TUS by a reader (this is in addition to a separate vaguer report TUS received from the same evening):

At 7:20 pm tonight, I pulled up to the red light at 10th street and 1825 in Pflugerville - I was on 10th, about to make a right onto 1825, so my car was facing north east. There was a car on my left that was either going to go straight or make a right, sitting at the red light (a silver Lexus I think). It was dark, but a very clear, crisp night.

As soon as I stopped, I saw a group of lights in the sky that were framed by the various wires and poles directly across the street, but were clearly a lot further away. It was very hard to judge distance, but if I had to estimate, I'd say maybe 1/2 to 1 mile away, possibly more. The lights were not pinpoint white, bright lights like an airplane, but light orange/white, and seemed larger than usual for airplane lights. There were roughly 5 or 7, in a triangular formation that seemed to be slowly rotating. I watched for a few seconds, then wound my window down and pointed them out to the two women in the car next to me, who said something to the effect that they were already watching them, and had no idea what they were. There was another car behind them I think, but I didn't look back for long. The lights continued to slowly rotate. I'm pretty sure I could make out the darker shape of the object that the lights were attached to, which was triangular. It appeared to be turning so that it was upright and almost flat edge facing us. I started driving again, taking a right as I originally intended and continued to see it for a few more seconds, then it just disappeared. I looked for it again as I was driving up 685 towards Starbucks, out to my left across the fields, but saw nothing. The entire sighting probably lasted 45 seconds. I wish I had talked to the two women in the car next to me, and asked for their number or contact info so they could at least verify the sighting.

It was hard to judge distance, but I definitely had the impression of a very, very large object, that was quite far away - a mile or so perhaps.

I bumped into a police officer outside Starbucks on 685, and I asked him if anyone had called anything in regarding the lights, and he said no. He was very nice and patient, and listened to me basically waffle like a mad person for five minutes.

I will go out tomorrow evening and look from the same spot, with camera and binoculars. Please let me know if you hear of similar sightings in the area from tonight. I find it hard to believe myself and those two ladies could have been the only people to see it.

I've attached a map image where I've (really roughly) indicated where I was parked, and the direction I was looking when I saw the lights (see red dot and arrow in center of image). Note that the lights - as far as I could tell - were a mile or so away, so not on the attached map.

Did you see these UFOs, too? Report your sighting!
