MUFON to Investigate UFOs over San Antonio, Victoria, Corpus Christi, TX

UFOs have also been seen near Victoria and Corpus Christi the night of the Stephenville sightings.

By Jim Forsyth

UFO Casebook - Jan. 22, 2008

http://www.ufocasebook.com/2008/mufonvictoriacorpus.html

The flurry of Unidentified Flying Objects spotted near Stephenville earlier this month extended to San Antonio and UFO's were also spotted over Victoria and as far south as Corpus Christi, 1200 WOAI's Bud Little has learned.

Some 200 people reported seeing UFO's over Stephenville, in Erath County southeast of Dallas on the evening of January 8th. But Walter Andrus Junior, the co-founder of the Mutual UFO Network, says the same night, unidentified objects were spotted in the skies over San Antonio, visible in the western sky and reported by observers at Interstate 10 and Wurzbach Road, on the northwest side.

"They say a large, cigar shaped object in the western sky," Andrus said. "It had many lights on it, from front to back."

Andrus says MUFON will talk with people in San Antonio, as well as in Victoria and near Corpus Christi, who also saw the objects that night. He says it's a lot easier to get statements out of people about UFO's today than when he helped start MUFON in the 1970s, because what is referred to as the 'laughter curtain' which painted people who said they saw UFOs as cranks or worse, has been lifted.

"The lights were so bright that it was difficult to estimate the size of the object," Andrus says about the UFO sightings over Texas.

He says a complete report on the sightings may not be completed until the end of 2008.

UFO Sighting in Hill County

By Eric Gemmell

KXXV-TV News Channel 25 - Waco - Jan. 20, 2008

HILL COUNTY - After a week of unexplained objects floating in Central Texas skies, one Hill County resident has captured the mysterious lights on tape.

It was shortly after seven Saturday night when Cory Cox saw a series of mysterious lights above the horizon near his Penelope home.

"It looked nothing like an airplane. It looked nothing like I'd ever seen before. It was weird. Really weird." ...

Reports of alleged paranormal phenomenon

Duncanville, TX - Wikipedia

Duncanville is mentioned in UFO reports posted on several Web sites. These reports of unidentified flying objects date back to the early 1950s and continue into the 2000s.

One of the most important UFO incidents in Duncanville occurred on July 17, 1957, when an Air Force Boeing Stratojet reconnaissance jet (RB-47) was followed by an unidentified object for a distance of well over 700 miles (1,100 km) and for a time period of more than one hour. The jet was pursued while flying from Mississippi, through Louisiana and Texas and into Oklahoma. The object was detected visually by the flight crew, by crewmembers using radar and electronic surveillance equipment on the aircraft and by radar operators at the Duncanville Air Force Station.^[10] The incident is listed in Project Blue Book files, where investigators concluded that the UFO was actually an ordinary jet airliner. However, these official findings are widely disputed by critics and investigators, who claim that this well-reported, multi-channel, multiple-witness report makes RB-47 one of the most compelling documented cases supporting the reality of UFOs. (This UFO report also gets a brief mention in Wikipedia’s unidentified flying object article, where the sighting is described as “the well-known 1957 RB-47 surveillance aircraft case.” )

Other documented UFO cases associated with Duncanville include:

On April 4, 1952, two radar operators of the 147th AC&W Squadron at Duncanville Air Force Station tracked an unidentified object for one minute at an estimated 2,160 mph (3,480 km/h).

On Jan. 6, 1953, the 147th AC&W Squadron in Duncanville received reports of an unidentified flying object northeast of Dallas, Texas. An arrowhead-shaped object was reported by some witnesses. At the same time, the AC&W unit at Tinker AFB, Oklahoma, reported that they had picked up a target by radar 20 miles (32 km) southwest of Paris, Texas. This target was moving west at an estimated speed of 600 knots (1,100 km/h) at 7,500 feet (2,300 m) in altitude.

On Oct. 23, 1994, witnesses reported three unidentified objects, each about the size of a commercial jet, flying single file at about 1,000 feet (300 m) at high speed but making no noise. The objects suddenly aligned in a triangular formation and made a fast turn. Three F-18 was observed giving pursuit with afterburners. Later, a local television station broadcast news of a large explosion in the area, but no follow-up information was ever released.

On Oct. 2, 1999, four unidentified objects were observed moving silently at fast rates of speed during a period of about 35 minutes. The first object was large and triangle-shaped. It was followed by 8 to 10 dim, star-like objects in a V-shaped cluster that appeared solid. Another larger, star-like object followed. The final object resembled a satellite, but was moving at a much faster speed.

On April 1, 2004, witnesses reported an unidentified object, described as an egg-shaped red orb, traveling west at high speed.

UFO Sightings Stream In from Texas Townsfolk

All Things Considered - National Public Radio - Jan. 16, 2008

http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=18159599

The town of Stephenville, Texas, is abuzz with talk of UFOs. Several residents — including a pilot — have reported seeing a large silent object with bright lights flying low and fast this week, describing it as "nothing from these parts." Federal officials say there's a logical explanation, but locals insist the object was larger, quieter and faster than an aircraft.

Four New Sighting Reports from Texas

UFO Casebook - 2007

Hico, Texas-11-07-07

On November 17, 2007, at 4 am at our ranch 6 miles east of Hico, Texas on Hwy 6, my husband, son, grandson and I spotted a UFO in the Northeast sky. It was a very clear, cool morning and we were on our porch having coffee waiting for the sun to rise when we observed what we thought was a VERY bright star a little larger than the North Star.

Suddenly, it dropped straight down about ½ inch and we thought we were witnessing a plane falling. For over an hour we witnessed the object with binoculars moving at extreme angles, left, right, up and down, always returning to its original position. At times, it was a solid red light. It appeared to be huge, located very high in the universe, moving at extreme speeds.

I took several pictures with my night lens digital camera but for some reason it didn't capture the UFO. Recalling that my daughter-in-law experienced a close encounter with a UFO many years ago, taking a whole roll of film that didn't come out, I took pictures of the sky and stars which clearly developed.

We told all our friends about the incident but didn't report it until now after hearing about other UFO incidents. There is no way anyone in this world has the capability to manufacture such an object that can maneuver at such speed so far up in the universe. We own a large company in Dallas and go to our ranch in Hico on the weekends.-source: www.ufocasebook.com

McKinney, Texas-12-13-07

We live in McKinney TX. On December 13, 2007. We were driving on Stonebridge Drive in McKinney to a Christmas party and my husband and I observed a large green flash in the sky. We both said "did you just see that?" My husband said it must be a falling start or meteorite? I said "it was green... are they green?"

It was very large and not to high in the sky. It was very strange I have seen falling stars but not that color, size or closeness to the earth. Just thought I would let you know. Lisa in McKinney TX. source: www.ufocasebook.com

Comanche, Texas-01-08-08

My husband and I were driving from Comanche, TX to Brownwood, TX south on Hwy 377 on January 8, 2008 when I saw a bright red light out of the corner of my eye up in the sky.

I told my husband to look and asked him what he thought it was. I thought it was one of those towers that have 3 blinking red lights. I asked my husband what he thought it was. It then turned bright white. My husband commented that it could be a satellite .

But then it faded out and appeared again just to the right of where it had originally been. Then all of the sudden there were two of them. Then, before we knew it they jetted off over the sky extremely fast.

We just laughed it off, because we felt crazy for even thinking that it could be a UFO. Then we saw it on the news the other night. I couldn't believe other people had seen it too!

Stephenville is getting all of the attention, but I believe that is was right over Comanche. I know it was directly over Comanche because I remember I was looking straight up out of my windshield to see it. I feel crazy for even reporting this, but I had to tell somebody! source: www.mufon.com

Denton, Texas-01-11-08

My son saw this on his way to work. He drives from Denton, by way of the back roads. It's a faster route to work. At approximately 6.50 am, he turned east on 455 from Running Bear Road. He saw bright white lights coming over the hill, on the opposite side of the dam. His first thought was (air craft). He had been in the Navy, in the past. He is familiar with aircraft. He started looking for the red and green lights. Not only did he not see them, but it was flying very slow approximately 30 mph. 30-50 yards away.

It seemed to be hugging the shore line, flying at eye level. He slowed down, opened the car window, observed the craft as it went past. It made no sound at all. Black and gray in color. Delta shape. No bigger than his 1978 Thunderbird. Rectangular rear, with three large round openings in the side. No apparent thrust, no fire, etc.

The top of the craft looked as if it had an extended canopy. Running about three quarters of the way down the fuselage. It was metallic as well. The bottom looked like it had panel lines. As I said, it had three white lights under it. Non blinking! He stopped by the house for a refill on his coffee, told my wife about it, drew a picture of the craft, and wrote down all the details, then went off to work.

After telling a co-worker at the shop his story, the guy told him he had seen it as well. But thinking people would think he was nuts, didn't say anything. His friend had seen it in Sanger.[The town on the other side of the dam.] Later the news ran a story on a sighting in Stephenville TX. They are approximately 60 miles south of us. The object they saw was very large. I see no comparison to that craft, but wonder if they are related in some way. All I have to say is, is it one of ours?

Brazos Past: Waco's encounters with UFOs

By Terri Jo Ryan

Waco Tribune-Herald - October 27, 2007

http://www.wacotrib.com/featr/content/features/stories/2007/10/27/10272007wacbrazpast.html

Believe in them or not, flying saucers have played a role in Waco’s past and continue to excite the mind today.

Since the wreckage of an alleged “flying disc” was recovered 60 years ago by the U.S. Air Force from the deserts of Roswell, N.M., Central Texans have turned a curious eye to the skies.

But it was the flurry of UFO reports over Waco skies in the spring and summer of 1952 that had the newsrooms of the Waco Times- Herald and News-Tribune buzzing.

Scott Fagner/Waco Tribune-Herald

Nick Simonite/Waco Tribune-Herald

In September 1952, Waco photographer Windy Drum received several calls about a UFO, and so he went out to shoot this image on a six-minute exposure. A colleague wrote: "The stars made streak of light across the picture, the saucer made a single blur." The end of the article noted that the "Weather Bureau's ceilometer, a light beam into the sky to measure cloud heights," makes just such an image.

Nick Simonite/Waco Tribune-Herald

The newsrooms of Waco's newspapers, the News-Tribune and the Times-Herald, were atwitter during the spring and summer of 1952, as Central Texas was seized by flying saucer mania.

On Easter Sunday, April 13, 1952, an electronics instructor at James Connally Air Force Base (now the Waco campus of Texas State Technical College) named Lt. Edward Gaucher, 27, said he spotted 15 to 20 flying saucers from the Joy Drive-In Theater on Old Dallas Highway (State Highway 81 North).

He was at the theater with his wife and three children when he spotted what he called a formation of objects approaching him. They were about six miles away, about 5,000 feet in the air, and traveling an estimated 600 miles per hour. The reddish glowing objects were only seen for about 10 seconds, he said.

L.C. Headrich, operator of the Bellmead Bakery, said he also saw them that night from nearby Oaklawn Drive-In Theater, also on Highway 81. Their reports were dismissed by other observers the next day as merely sunlight reflecting off birds.

By they weren’t the only ones spotting UFOs in 1952. Hundreds of reports were taken by the U.S. military from Americans reporting aerial anomalies like flying discs, glowing domes, bluish cylindrical craft and “dark wings.”

Carl Freund of the Fort Worth Press, a former News-Tribune staff member, told the Associated Press in April 1952 he observed about 50 “glowing objects” over the Tarrant County Courthouse during the day.

And it turns out, just days before the flying saucers hit the media, a Connally AFB civilian instructor named Joseph E. Civello and his wife reported their own close encounter at the Oaklawn Drive-In Theater.

According to the Air Force’s files, on April 2, 1952, Civello and his wife noted a “flaming, yellow object” approaching them overhead from the southwest. The fast-moving cylinder appeared to be emitting particles, some kind of stream of sparks, from its tail — a tail much longer than any jet aircraft he knew, he said. It was eerily silent to boot.

On April 24, 1952, Leslie M. Parks of Waco, who worked for Tom Cuff Electrical Contracting Co., was watching a movie at the Oaklawn with his wife when he saw two groups of glowing tangerine discs cross the night sky.

Another dozen or so strange sightings were recorded that spring and summer in Waco.

In late September, according to the newspapers’ archives, the furor was about over. The Times-Herald received a postcard from an anonymous source who claimed a Waco citizen had figured out the flying saucer, “motors and all,” and wanted to get his blueprints to the Army “for help in the atomic field,” but didn’t know how to go about it.

Waco’s newspapers made merry of astronomical oddities throughout the months with reports of the nightly sky shows, dubbing the unidentified flying objects as “flying pumpkinheads,” “glowjoes” and “thingamadodgers.” They joked that the new city manager’s first order of businesses needed to be attacking the plague of sky-skippers. North Highway 81 was dubbed Flying Saucer Row.

A Jenny aircraft, as seen in this Waco postcard depicting Rich Field, was the only flying object air cadets cared to see in the skies of Texas in 1918.

Almost 30 years before the Roswell incident, the daring young men in the flying machines at Rich Field reported a mysterious object in the skies over Waco.

BibleUFO.com includes a 1918 account by Edwin Bauhan, a serviceman at Rich Field in Waco, who reportedly observed a 100- to 150-foot-long cigar-shaped object after leaving the mess hall with his comrades.

"It came directly overhead, and was no more than 500-feet-high, so we got an excellent view of it. It had no motors, no rigging, it was noiseless, a rose or sort of flame color. I could observe no windows. We all experienced the weirdest feeling of our lives, and sat in our tent puzzling over it for some time," the account noted.

D/FW “ALIENPLEX” REVEALED!

The Armageddon Drive-in - Dec. 4, 2006

http://strangersrest.com/default.aspx

The Dallas/Fort Worth area is proof positive that the UFO/military conspiracy is alive and well. Called the “Alienplex,” this region of shadowy extraterrestrial schemes stretches from Fort Worth to Aurora to Duncanville – the very heart of what many North Texans still fondly call the Metroplex. The first plot point of this mysterious “Alien Triangle” appeared in 1897, when a flying saucer crashed a few miles north of Fort Worth in the little farm town of Aurora. A newspaper report indicated that the pilot – a Martian – died on impact. The remains were buried in Aurora Cemetery, and the spaceship is even mentioned on a Texas Historical Marker near the cemetery gate. However, the actual tombstone was quickly removed in the 1970s by the government as part of its standard UFO cover up procedures.

In 1997, UFO researcher Jim Hickman made a “field investigation” of Aurora. He began his report with the totally objective observation that Aurora is on the “Alien Highway" (aka Texas 114). Kudos to Jim! Here at the Armageddon Drive-in, we are equally committed to objectivity. During Jim's painstaking dashboard survey of the town he uncovered evidence of an old military base with airstrip, circa 1940s. “Why would the military want to have a base in Aurora? I asked myself... back in the '40's?” Hmmm. Yes Jim, why? Why would the military want to establish a new airfield at the very time it was trying to win World War II? So we did a bit of investigating of our own.

Federal government records list the Aurora installation as Rhome Marine Corps Outlying Landing Field. Know what it was? A “glider base” (see adjacent National Archive photo, circa 1943). Come on now. Do they really expect us to believe that? At a time when the Nazis were using V-2 rockets to bring down alien spacecraft for use in their war effort the best cover story FDR and the Illuminati could cook up was gliders? Of course, Jim and the staff of the Armageddon Drive-in were not thrown off the scent of the Alien Highway by this ludicrous fabrication.

We also credit Jim with locating Triangle Point No. 2 of the “Alienplex.” He noted in his report that in 1947, the Roswell crash debris was flown directly to Carswell AFB in Fort Worth – just 12 miles from Aurora. “Coincidence? I don't think so. Could the military have had an ‘alien’ recovery base set up and running in Aurora from clear back at the time of the 1897 crash?”

And finally, Triangle Point No. 3 – the “Alienplex” emerged fully formed in 1957 when a UFO was picked up by the big radar installation at the Nike missile base in Duncanville, which is just a few miles south of Dallas on Interstate 20 (aka the “Extraterrestrial Freeway”). The story is even part of the Air Force’s “Project Blue Book” (case file No. 10073, National Archives and Record Administration).

In case you need further proof, keep in mind that the Duncanville area is a well-known gathering place for extraterrestrials. In 1994, a Duncanville man sitting in his backyard saw three UFOs that resembled “the motor part of a Hunter Ceiling Fan.” The man believed that the “Naval Air Station in Grand Prairie, scrambled the fighters to intercept, but the saucers broke off.” Hmmm. Yes, we must conclude the military was in on that one, too. And in 1996, two boys spotted a triangular UFO in Cedar Hill, a little town just south of Duncanville on Highway 67 (aka the “UFO Throughway”). Minutes later, this craft was joined by two more triangular UFOs. Talk about an “Alien Triangle!”

UFO Sightings: Texas - Jan. 18, 2007

http://www.mysticaluniverse.com/ufos_aliens/ufosightings/texas/texas.html

Reported By: Kendall. La Porte, Texas. January 8 2007.
Subject: UFO Sighting - Location: La Porte, near Gulf Waters Date: 12/06 Time: PM Number Of Objects: 1 Object's Shape: Triangle Additional Information: The object had lights and had an aura or haze around it and became transparent and faded
Event Description:

On a daily basis my friends and I have witnessed three very unexplainable light sightings in the sky, over the water. [Sylvan Beach] 
Tonight was most noticeable, we were driving down Fairmont Parkway, going under HWY 146 and noticed the same lights that all of us 
have seen for about the past month or so. We then became interested and started to converse about it. My friend’s mother even had 
seen the light before. She also became alarmed by this object.

We saw two bright lights in the sky and one dim one underneath them, forming the shape of a triangle. Right before we stepped into 
McDonald's my friend noticed one bright light beginning to fall into what it looked like the water. We were confused to the point that 
we were frightened of this experience, yet curious. When we left the restaurant, we saw the lights again. That is when we began to 
investigate. We went as close to the lights as we could, which was Sylvan Beach. We sat by the water for about 15 minutes just 
observing. We then saw the lights dimming, like they noticed we were watching nearby. They faded in to little specks and eventually 
disappeared. While doing this they conjoined and disconjoined repeatedly. When we arrived at my friends’ house, we were very curious 
and began researching, this is when we fell upon this website, we also read about the same sightings, and as far as I’m concerned my 
friends and I think that someone should investigate professionally. This might sound crazy but, we think that it is possible there be 
another species of some kind that has not yet been discovered, maybe even known as aliens.

Time: 8:00 PM - Witnesses: 2 - Object's Shape: Orb/Light - Object Changed Colors - Object Hovered - Aircraft in the Area: Yes - Additional Information: Our location was on Interstate 45 @ Beltway 8 on the south side of Houston,
near Pasadena.
Event Description:
OK, it was at night, my brother and I had just turned off of the beltway (8) and were heading north on I-45. It was a clear night, about 8:00 PM. I noticed, in the rear view mirror,   a bright light, the reason I thought it was weird was that it was too high up to be a car or truck (we were in our truck so we were already pretty high up).

Now, just for some background on my brother and I. We are not a couple of chumps, I am prior military, a F-16 Avionics-Journeyman and he is a prior Service ICBM Master Missile Technician (look those up if you want to check our knowledge base).

So back to the event. I notice this light up and behind us and I tell Todd (my brother) to look and tell me what the hell it is.

We see that it is a bright, bright, bright white light kind of flickering red and then back to this bright white. It was hovering above and to the side of the highway about one-half mile behind us.

We just thought maybe it was a news chopper or a traffic chopper or something. But then after about 30 seconds or so of us noticing it these other lights coming up to it.

Now this was a little weird, so we pull over to try and decipher what is going on. We recognized that the lights that came up to the original brighter light were actually
choppers (with their anti-k[anti-collision] lights and red/blue identifier lights) and they were shining their spotlights at the brighter light, which continued to hover there and then slowly moved southward, with the choppers following it.

Now the brightness of this thing was immense, I mean it was lighting up the surrounding parking lots underneath it. It was REALLY weird, now if we were seeing all of this then there had to be other people seeing it.

We contacted TV stations, radio stations, weather stations and military installations and no-one would tell us anything, none of them said they knew a thing about it!

Now someone had to send out those choppers and there must have been hundreds of other people that had seen this thing! If anyone else saw this (I think I've gotten the date about right) I would be very interested!
Signed-Confounded in Texas!,
Patrick L.

Additional Information: Our location was on Interstate 45 @ Beltway 8 on the South side of Houston, near Pasadena. The highway was 8 lanes wide, VERY full of cars in both directions.

We could hear no sounds coming from the 'craft' ... we were about 1/4 to 1/2
a mile due North of it.

As for the shape: It was like a large round orb of white light (VERY bright!) turning slightly red and then back to a brilliant white. Please post my event!
Thank you very much Nancy!,

Object emitted beams of light - There was interference associated with the object
Other: See explanation below
Event Description:
I was walking out of the kitchen, where I have plain view of the sky out of the living room windows high up, almost on the ceiling

There are two windows across from one another, in a corner. At first I felt a large vibration, like a rumble and thought someone had crashed (our street is accident prone), but then I turned out the light to see and I was overwhelmed by a bright light.

It was as if someone had a flashlight right up to the window! It was very still, and so was I! I rationalized it as a plane or copter, but there was only bright, white light, and it didn't move. Copters and planes here have visible red and blue lights and they're constantly on the move with a soft humming sound, this was a scary light.

I turned the light back on and saw the clock, it was only 10:00 PM. I stood there waiting for it to move, for sirens, anything, and when I looked at the clock again it was 10:30 PM.

Suddenly, it began to fall really fast, just a straight drop. I fell to the floor, afraid that if it was a plane or an attack we were in for it with this thing so close, but nothing ever came of it, and I haven't seen anything like it sense.

What I thought strange was my watch had stopped on 10:00 PM. The clock in the kitchen too, and the TV went static. It made me queasy.

This event happened on two consecutive nights at about the same time. Both times the object went directly south.
It was flying very low because the first night was very cloudy with low level clouds, but was still very visible. The second night was clearer but with the exact same behavior. We heard no sound and the object was moving very fast across the sky. We have planes fly over, but none fly that fast and are usually headed southwest towards the Lewisville Airport, plus you can hear them. Very strange. I will be looking for it again tomorrow night.

There were High Voltage Power Lines in the area - Additional Information: H. L.& P. Plant on F.M. 149
Event Description:
October 1978 after 8:00 p.m.
I had worked late in the office and was leaving going home in Houston. I was driving at night, when I saw what at first I believed to be a helicopter over the Houston Lighting and Power Plant. The drive was through a desolate rural area. The power plant had the only lights in the area.

As I drove closer down F.M. 149 (then a two lane asphalt road) from F.M. 1960 (a two lane asphalt road) towards Interstate Hwy. 45, I realized the circling flashing lights would have to be on the rotor blade tips, and I had never seen a helicopter with such lights. I slowed down and rolled down my car window (a 1973 Ford Ranchero) to get a better look.

I had to be a few hundred yards from the lights. The lights alternated from yellow to red to blue/white to orange as they pulsated and circled. The lights would make the object over a hundred feet across and I could not determine if it was circular, but as it never looked differently from different angles so I would assume it to be circular.

I continued to drive as I watched the object float along over the top of the Power transmission lines over the towers south of the Power Plant. The object just drifted slowly and silently to the Northwest.

I never saw it since, and I have never seen anything like it. The whole experience was short in duration. It was a beautiful array of lights. I have often wondered if anyone else saw it too. I have only told a few people I saw it.

Event Description:
My uncle has seen many UFO experiences in his life. He told me one time him and his parents and sisters were on 281 road and they saw a bright red light in the sky.

He says "It looked like the sun but only brighter." Anyway they followed it for about 30 minutes and after a while it just took off. He says he thinks that it knew that it was following them. And my uncle's wife says when she was about 15 she was outside with her brothers and she saw a bright red object go over the trees. She says that it actually touched the trees and all of her neighbors had seen the same thing.

As for me I have only seen UFOs with my uncle. Down here in the summer .. which is right now ... there are many UFOs we don't like to report them cause they'll probably think were faking it. But it just wasn't 1 UFO it was at least 15.

The reason I knew it was a UFO and not a plane or anything else was because I looked at a star for a while and on some of them they would start blinking, and turn off and on, and then the would be in one place then appear at another.

SPHERICAL BLACK UFO SEEN NEAR DALLAS, TEXAS

On Sunday, April 12, 1998, at 11 a.m., a U.S. Air Force veteran, Mike H., and his family were driving north on Interstate Highway 35 northwest of Dallas, Texas.

As he drove through the suburb of Farmers Branch (population 24,250), Mike reported, "I spotted a black round-shaped UFO flying very fast and just below the clouds. The object looked quite small to me, less than the size of a pencil held at arm's length. But due to the height, even a large object would look small." At first Mike said nothing to his family, wondering if the object might be a bird, but then he realized that "it was flying much too fast" to be a bird.

The motorists kept the UFO in view as they drove past Royal Lane and L.B. Houston Park, heading for Interstate Highway 635, aka the Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway. "The object was moving faster than we were," Mike reported. "Our vehicle was moving approximately 65 miles per hour, and the object moved past us in the same direction and within ten seconds was out of sight." (Email Interview) (Editor's Comment: Ten seconds to the horizon would mean an estimated speed of 1,440 miles per hour.)

On Oct. 23, 1994, at 8:30 PM I witnessed the most incredible event. I was sitting in the backyard of my house in Duncanville, TX. [20 miles from Dallas ]. It was a perfectly clear and chilly night. We had an unusually long hot summer this year and this was the first real chilly night we had since March. I was enjoying it in the lawn chair with my light coat on and thinking about how I was going to decorate the house for Halloween. I was looking up at all the beautiful stars and I noticed a bright object in space traveling from North to South. At first I said to myself, Space Shuttle or satellite then it just stopped suddenly. This got my attention. It then began to pulsate, bright to dim for a few seconds and then the light just went out. I kept looking at this spot waiting to see if it would reappear. It did, then traveled on it's original course. I ran inside the house to get someone to come back out with me to see it. I grabbed my wife describing to her on the way back outside what to look for. When we get out there, nothing is in sight, and she gives me one of those looks, you know, the you hauled me out here for what LOOKS. I said to her please stay out here a few more minutes and check it out with me. She said well, OK, but I need a coat. She returned about 2 minutes later and said what am I looking for with a sigh and sarcastic voice. I replied anything that moves or looks unusual. I said you watch the northern sky and I'll watch the southern sky. She says, OK, but only for a few minutes. I said agreed! No more than 5 seconds later as we are watching our quadrants of sky she yells, LOOK, Ron, LOOK! Well, I had my back to her and thought she is pulling my leg, but in an instant I detected an urgency in her voice, like hey, she's not kidding. She is pointing to the Northwest and saying do you see them, LOOK!!! I caught sight of them! 3 saucers flying only about 1,000 ft. off the ground in a single file formation traveling from the West to the East at around 8 to 900 mph. They make absolutely no noise. Each saucer is the size of a commercial jet. Not round, but oval shaped. They were amber/orange in color, as they approached, they almost seemed translucent, but not. Keep in mind readers, it's completely dark outside, so what we are seeing is the amber street lights from a major thoroughfare close to my house reflecting off the saucers. When they got real close, they went from a single file formation to a classical fighter jet triangular formation in the blink off an eye, literally! We both said, WOW, at the same time, while out of instinct crouching lower to the ground as they passed overhead. They were only inches apart. We could see the underbelly which looked like the motor part of a Hunter Ceiling Fan in your home or apartment. At this point they made an elbow turn. Not a sudden 90 degree turn but a fast turn to the North. It was as if one mind controlled all three with absolute precision. As they moved north we raised back up from the crouching position. We no longer can see the underside of the craft and now they appear as bright stars still in formation. Then, suddenly the back left saucer makes the most incredible move. It leaves formation, makes a Simi circular path to about 3000 ft. directly above the other 2 and holds there for 1 second then retraces it's first motion and joins back into formation. It did this while they were all traveling forward at about 900 miles per hour in about 4 to 5 seconds. We then lost sight of them to the North. Well, we stand there looking at each other, mouth, open, adrenaline pumping, and said in stereo, do you know what we just saw!!!!!!! I replied YES, spaceships from outside our world. Is there any doubt Laura? She said no doubt, they were not from this world. Then she shrieks, what's that and points again. We crouch a second time. It is a fighter jet cruising so slow I thought it would fall out of the sky. It is making a turn to the South and it is an F-18 Hornet with the split double tail with full military running lights on. A v shaped double tail. We are watching it and thinking hey, your going the wrong way, [to the South]. Then, we are startled and almost knocked to the ground by a second F-18 that passes directly overhead and simultaneous jet noise. It joins the first one from the West. Then a third F-18 appears from the Southwest and joins formation. Then they make a hard turn to the North and kick in their afterburners which literally shook the ground like a mini earthquake. They never do this over population. At this point we see a few people come outside and look up. We are thinking Wow, they don't have a clue of what they just missed! We went back inside the house and discussed it and decided to watch the news at 10pm to see if they had anything on this. Just before the news ended on channel 4, the anchor Clarice Tinsley said that there had been a flood of calls to the newsroom about a mysterious large explosion in Southern Dallas County and that news crews were in route to the area and that if warranted they would be back on later and break in on regular programing if it is newsworthy. We saw nothing after that. Nothing in the paper the next day. I know there had to be others who witnessed this event but are probably reluctant to talk about it. I have my theory of what happened. The Naval Air Station in Grand Prairie, scrambled the fighters to intercept but the saucers broke off. Each took a separate direction. Each F-18 took a saucer. The saucers gave them the slip and what we saw was the saucers regrouping. The F-18's obviously at some point went supersonic trying to keep up which created a sonic boom which is the mysterious explosion people reported.

Thanks, for listening!

My story is simple but weird. I was outside swimming in my back yard. It was about one or two in the morning. I was looking at the moon and then there was a light that appeared to "come from the moon". It seemed as though it was hiding in the moon's light. After it "came from the moon", it began to perform amazingly complex maneuvers , i.e. zigg-zagging and performing circles in the air at a high rate of speed. After it had stopped "goofing off", it returned to were it came from (in front of the moon). However, before it returned to it's hiding place, it's entire ship had dimmed all it's lights, just barley visible. I lost sight of it after it went in front of the moon. I saw all of this and my house in Arlington, Texas.
