Dallas, Texas.
Oh, my god...oh, my god...
I've just seen my first unidentified flying object. It appeared first as a bright light in the sky seen from my living room where I was watching the film Breech on HBO. Upon going outside to investigate, I saw what I at first thought was some kind of pyrotechnic leave a ring of flame against the dark stormy sky some distance from the source of the bright light I had seen through the window -- a brilliant oval of light, saucer-shaped, moving slowly in a north by northwest direction. A small private or commuter plane appeared to be circling or following the slower-moving object. Occasionally a ring of fire would appear to encircle the bright ovals perimeter, like some kind of fiery exhaust blast. I ran inside to get my camera and when I returned I barely had gotten the lens cap off and flicked the ON switch when the "saucer" moved beyond my field of view and I never saw it again. This whole episode lasted about a minute and a half. The lone plane continued to circle the sky in that direction for several minutes and then turned to the south east. |
