UFO or Very Neat Drone At SXSW in Austin?

3/21 Update: a similar Texas UFO sighting occurred in January of this year, see video below!

• When: Mid-March 2013 during SXSW
• Where: Austin
• What: Bright colored, rotating object that floats around sky and then glides off very quickly

That's not a plane, a bird, a helicopter, or Super Man. That leaves few possibilities, including a drone - something that apparently was a common sight at SXSW.

This video was shot at 3rd and San Jacinto Street during the fest, and in it you can hear reveling spectators jokingly asking the UFO to take them away. The witness - who reported this sighting in an email to me - is very perplexed as to what this would be and would love some input.

Although drone is an easy card to play, this is a really great video no matter how you slice it.


And of course it makes one wonder... the more amazing a craft is, the more likely we are to debunk it, huh?







Check out the video:
