A Texas witness at Cotulla included one frame from an oil company security camera depicting a "disc-like" UFO on or near the ground in a January 5, 2013, report, claiming the image has already made the rounds among employees, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.
Readers should be cautious of any photography before MUFON investigates this case. There are a small percentage of reports that are hoaxes; and some photography can further be explained as something man-made or from Mother Nature.
The reporting witness explained the circumstances behind the photograph in the report.
"My father works in an oil company here in Texas, and they had noticed that some people were taking the crude oil in the night," the witness stated. "So they started putting cameras up around the areas. One night one camera caught a UFO."
A single image was provided with the MUFON report, which was filed on January 5, 2013. The incident allegedly occurred on July 6, 2012.
The witness explains that the photo had been circulated, but with no further explanation.
"The news had spread throughout the workers and they soon emailed it to my father. My father had sent it to me and now I'm posting it here on MUFON."
The above quotes were edited for clarity. Cotulla is a city in and the county seat of La Salle County, TX, population 3,614. This story and photo has a High Warning of Caution until an investigation is completed.

July 6, 2012, 10:04 p.m., Cotulla, Webb County, TX - Hovering disk like craft with 3 lights hovering about a foot or less off the ground. Case 45031.
My father works in an oil company here in Texas, and they had noticed that some people were taking the crude oil in the night. So they started putting cameras up around the areas. One night one camera caught a UFO. The news had spread throught the workers and they soon emailed to my father. My father had sent it to me and now Im posting it here on mufon. When I saw the picture I couldnt believe how the shape was, it was what I had expected. More so since it was also hovering off the ground. I was used to different ufos mainly because I have seen some since I was a kid. It really got to me that I now have proof of the existence of these entities.
