Texans Are Seeing Stars

• When: November 23rd and 26th, 2013
• Where: Denton, Luling, Port Neches, and Richardson
• What: Blue/green star-like object - but moves or disappears, similar to other recent Texas UFO sightings

Texans are seeing stars... almost literally. Worldwide, reports have been coming in about strange star-like objects that, while especially bright, simply hover in mid air just like any star (or satellite) might do. However, then the star starts to move... or disappear altogether! From fiery red objects to dancing stars, the pattern isn't the easiest to pin down.

Compare photos from recent reports of such an object in the Lone Star State... is this Venus or something else entirely?

And here are details on the latest of these sightings!

Here's the full MUFON report from a November 23rd sighting of a vanishing star in Denton, corroborated by another witness ("Dee") who comments:

My boyfriend and I pulled into our driveway and got out of the car. My boyfriend noticed this very bright starlike object in the sky and asked me to look at it. We stood there and looked at it for 20 minutes and it did not move. We went inside and looked up what planets are visible tonight and found Venus to be prominent in the SW tonight. We showed our roommate the starlike objects and watched it for another 10 minutes and then went inside. I checked on the starlike thing every 10 minutes for 2 hours and then it simply was not there after a while.

And here's the fortunately detailed report of a bluish green orb, with a triangular halo, which disappeared along with a sonic boom, from November 26th... it was kindly submitted to TUS by Joseph Wiele:

Witness Photograph, Denton Nov 23

I set out to walk my dog at approx. 545 pm on 11-26-13 and I noticed a big light that appeared to be a bright start to the southwest. After about 20 min of walking I noticed the light was considerably brighter than anything in the sky and it hadn't moved? I watched it closer for about another 10 minutes and I noticed now planes (both commercial and smaller) and helo's were getting more and more prevalent in the general area. Still the object not moving, it seemed to be in a bright triangular shape.

Now the helos and planes were circling around it and at time 2-5 different aircraft in the air at a time. I took a small video and a couple pics but they did not come out well. I called a friend in Plano and he could see it too and took a couple pics.

I finished my walk at 730 pm and it was still in the same position. Air traffic was crazy but I am certain some of it was from the holiday. I took a shower and when I was in the bathroom I heard a jet fly over and than I heard a sonic boom. I went outside and the object was gone.

Second to last, we have another November 26h sighting of a green, triangular shaped light ("arrow") in Luling behaving not so star like, more like shooting star like:

Received a call stating 2 ufo were in the sky, went outside, in the south/southeast heard swish/whir sound, dogs howling from serveal directions. There was a bright strobe like light flashing from the north/northwest moving south by southwest, appeared lower to the ground. After being outside awhile we walked heading west looking in the sky, the caller said they were still in sight. Just before coming in, on three occasions saw three greeish light shooting from high in the sky going south/southwest downward, they looked like a shooting star, fading the closer it came to the ground, speed was very fast. The ufo was high in the sky, south, the lights of it made a shape like an arrow with the tip pointing east, the shaped changed or moved. Got to cold went inside after 20 minutes or so, the shape was still in the sky. The noise (heard in the south/southeast)had stopped maybe 5 minutes are so of being outside, the bright flashing light in the north disapeared after ten minutes or so. Another person's account thought the ufo was like a group of glesting stars moving from east to west very slowly. All three of us observed the shooting orb type light and the ufo had moved in location.

Finally, a report out of Port Neches, also from November 26th, featuring a blue green light in motion... it was kindly submitted to TUS by a reader:

Green/blue light was swirling high in the sky, I was on the phone with my sister and told my husband to come look too, for about a min it was just there swirling then you can tell it slowed down and starred descending straight down, very straight and very slow. Never seen anything like it, and I lived on a navy base a long time.
