Meteor....Rocket...UFO? Seen Over Texas - Mass Sighting

• When: July 18th, 2020
• Where: All over Texas
• What: "String of lights"

Multiple videos and reports of a "string of lights" streaming through the nighttime sky have been reported. These lights were seen all around the state, with sighting reported as early as midnight, and as late as 6:45 am. Sightings as far away as Ingram and Winkler County, Texas (that's a four-hour drive) were reported around the same time, however, at 2 AM.

Check out the original witness videos below, as well as testimony that was submitted to MUFON. Many are suggesting that these lights could be a meteor shower (perhaps the delta Aquariids or the Perseids). Meanwhile, the "South Texas Weather Updates" Facebook page is suggesting that this is a crashing Russian rocket, specifically the SL-4 rocket body, which has the ID 44799. I did confirm that this rocket was expected to re-enter the Earth's atmosphere on July 17th, so this theory is not far off.

Ingram, TX sighting, captured on video by a local sheriff (according to a source of mine), and posted to the "South Texas Weather Updates" Facebook page:

The following video was provided to James Boyd. He was a witness. At approximately 2:01 AM on 7/18/2020 what’s believed to be Russian SL-4 ROCKET BODY (ID 44799) made reentry and was seen by many across northern South TX. Video taken from northwest Webb County, Texas. At the time it was believed to be a large satellite or possibly the ISS, but upon further review of databases and based on trajectory and timing it is likely SL-4; 44799. The SL-4’s reentry was a catastrophic reentry causing it to disintegrate.

Granite Shoals, TX testimony submitted to  MUFON (case 110213):

"Pretty straightforward. It looks similar to a string of lights like Christmas lights in a tube or the lights on a theater floor. No sound and no emission. Flying at a similar altitude as a small prop plane so pretty low. It seemed illusory like a projection"

Here's a map of where this "meteor" or "rocket" or "UFO" was reportedly seen:

Did you also see this incredible sky event? Report your sighting!

Do you have theories on what this was? A meteor? A rocket? An alien spaceship? I did find it curious that all the videos show the lights traveling upward, rather than crashing downward. That may be a clue as to what exactly happened here. As always, let me know what you think here in the comments, or on social (I'm on Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook).
