Football field length triangle UFO reported moving over Texas town

A Texas witness driving west along El Dorado after exiting I-45 at Webster reported a black, triangle-shaped object the size of a football field with four bright lights was moving just above the trees about 7:45 p.m. on January 3, 2013, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was driving home from work when the object was first noticed.

"I noticed it out the corner of my left eye," the witness stated. "I thought it might have been a new light pole since I had never noticed it before, but the lights were becoming much larger. I was driving about 30 mph and started to slow down as the lights were starting to move over the trees. I couldn't take my eyes off of it."

The witness said there were other vehicles on the roadway at the same time and that they were slowing down.

"It was very large, maybe a football field long. It moved directly over my car and the others heading northeast."

The witness described the object.

"From underneath it was a solid black triangle with the top being at the back of the craft. At this point, I had rolled down my windows and heard no sound other than that of the other cars, typical rolling tire noise."

The witness became frightened, but decided to pursue the object a second time.

"I could feel my pulse beating in my face. I went to my apartment about three minutes away, grabbed my video camera and ran out the door back into the car. I headed back toward I-45 hoping to get a good camera shot and it was gone. I drove around for a good 20 minutes trying to find the lights. I know what I saw and I know I'm not going to get any sleep tonight."
