Third cigar-shaped UFO reported over Texas

A third recent report from Texas of a cigar-shaped UFO occurred after a motorist spotted a "silver object" on April 10, 2011, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

"At first I thought it was a plane but it was not moving and had no markings, paint, or wings," the witness stated. "I watched it for a minute until I lost it behind an apartment building. When I passed the building the object was gone."

No images or video were provided with the MUFON report, which was filed April 11, 2011.

A Cypress, TX, witness reported a white or silver "thin object" hovering 1,000 feet over US 290 that quickly disappeared from view on April 5, 2011 in MUFON Case # 28593. This case was covered in the story: Second cigar-shaped UFO report over Texas skies.

In a case from April 6, 2011, a Texas witness reported watching "an illuminated object in the sky hovering over a location in the distance for approximately 23 minutes" that seemed circular and then cigar-shaped as the illumination changed. This case was covered in the story: Illuminated cigar UFO reported over Texas. The witness also provided a photograph in this case.

Texas is a current UFO ALERT 3 rating, with a high number of UFO sightings nationally. Texas had 39 UFO reports in March 2011 - the second highest reporting state - while California had 45 sightings, the highest reporting state in the nation.

TX, April 10, 2011 - Silver cigar shaped reflective. MUFON Case # 28617.

Driving to work down Ohio rd towards 121 (north) there was a silver cigar shaped object to the northwest. I noticed it when I stopped at a light and it was above the signal. At first I thought it was a plane but it was not moving and had no markings, paint, or wings. I watched it for a minute till I lost it behind a apartment building, when I passed the building the object was gone. I'm use to seeing airplanes living by dfw but this was gone in 5 seconds that I lost sight of it.
