An odd-shaped sphere UFO was reported by three unrelated witnesses in two states recently that could be the same object, according to information gathered from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database. A fourth case near Roswell, New Mexico, may also be related.

On April 22, 2009, near Dallas, a witness at an auto repair shop looked to the sky when he heard the sound of a military fighter jet and very soon he saw two more fighter jets moving across the sky.

But then two more objects caught his eye - and these were not jets. The witness said both objects appeared to be triangular in shape, but there was a sphere at each of the three points "joined by what looked to be black tube or beam structures that formed the triangle shape."

The witness went inside to get binoculars, but when he returned 20 seconds later, the two objects were gone, but the three fighter jets were heading into the direction where they were last seen.

Then on May 23, 2009, in Crockett, Texas, a woman looked up in the sky and saw "a huge multi-leveled triangular object" hovering. She reported that the object was "in the shape of a triangle with white orbs illuminating its 3 points."

After observing the silent object as it hovered for about 10 minutes, she said "a small white orb quickly shot out of the left side." The object remained hovering for another 15 minutes, and then "just disappeared."

Crockett is located in Houston County in northeastern Texas with a population of 7,141, and is named after Davy Crockett who reportedly camped here on his way to the Alamo.

Fast forward now to Kansas City, Kansas, on June 16, and a witness who was standing in her back yard and looking into a wooded area saw "three large spheres connected together with a large arm or protrusion extending out at an angle underneath the craft." I previosly reported on this story in Military jets spotted searching for sphere UFO over Kansas City, Kansas.

Marge Padgitt, the MUFON state section director for Kansas City, reports that she is investigating the Kansas City case and that the witness is working on an illustration of the object. Texas Field Investigator Fletcher Gray is investigating the Crockett, Texas case. Gray said that the witness near Dallas is also working on a sketch of the objects that he witnessed. Texas Field Investigator Jeremy Ray is investigating the case near Dallas.

A fourth case may be related from near Roswell, New Mexico.

I previously covered a case, Sphere UFO seen near Roswell, NM. Look at the witness sketch in that case and read his description. There are some similarities. Thanks to Fletcher Gray for pointing this one out.

Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If MUFON reports back on any of these cases, I will update this page.

The following reports and their headlines are unedited. You can read my selected cases by type of UFO report at the UFO Traffic Report index page.
 

Dallas area, Texas, April 22, 2009 - 2 triangular "vehicles" in formation.

Approximately 10:30 AM Wed.22 Apr. 2009

I work at an automotive repair shop in a N.E. Dallas suburb and I was examining a vehicle outside the shop on the N. side of the building.

There is a constant inbound and outbound flow of light,commercial and military aircraft, including vintage aircraft, due to our proximity to DFW, Love Field,Addison airport and Dallas Naval Air Station as well as other municipal airports. I am also a Private Pilot.

When this event occured, the prevailing wind was from the south, about 20mph, the temperature was approximately 58 degrees F., and there was about 20% cloud obscuration primarily to the north and northwest from my location. At this time, I heard the roar of a turbojet engine from the south of my location, but my sight line was blocked by the shop building.

In a matter of several seconds I saw a military fighter climbing to the north at a high rate of speed,and the pilot may have been using afterburner thrust as it was much louder than the usual jet noises.The jet crossed over at an estimated altitude of 8000 feet. I've seen many training scenarios, mainly radio intercept operations like this all around this area, and I assumed this was simply another one.

I then looked to the east, and saw another aircraft heading westbound as if on an intercept course with the jet from the south. I then noticed a third jet to the north on a southern course.The aircraft from the east and north were both generating exhaust contrails as they were higher and in colder air. After I'd noticed the jet to the north, I saw other motion to the left, or west, of my field of vision.

I saw what at first appeared to be 2 jet aircraft in "wingman" formation, but as I focused my attention on them it became apparent they were not aircraft,at least not aircraft in the conventional sense.Both appeared to be 6 to 8 times larger than the military jets, but from the distance I was observing all this, I can't be certain.

Both were triangular shaped, but all 3 ends were spheres joined by what looked to be black tube or beam structures that formed the triangle shape. The spheres were silver irridescent,and at first appeared to translucent, until I realized they were reflecting the blue of the sky and sunlight.

Both maintained an east direction of flight at approximately 100 knots air speed at a right angle to the prevailing wind.It didn't make any change in attitude, direction or altitude, or any unusual maneuvers.

My immediate thought was that this was all a prank or hoax, and I reasoned that someone had built these "machines" from balloons and pvc tubing, but balloons would tend to fly with the wind, not across or into it.

I went inside the shop to obtain a pair of binoculars from our front office in an attempt to get a better look. I was back outside the shop in less than 20 seconds, but both "machines" had simply vanished and the 3 jets had all turned 180 degrees relative to their flight paths and were all converging on the location where I'd last seen the "machines".

I've related what I've experienced to 1 family member and 1 very close friend today, and now to MUFON.I don't have any fear or dread of what I witnessed, and I don't have any worry of being ridiculed.

I consider myself detail oriented and analytical both in my profession and hobbies. I try to maintain an open mind to any and all possibilities.

Crockett, Texas, May 23, 2009 - Triangle multi-leveled object hovered over Highway 7 east for 15 minutes, then it disappeared.

I was in my front yard searching for my cats to bring them in for the night when I located my female cat who was looking up at the sky. So I looked up and to my amazement, a huge multi-leveled triangular object was hovering in the sky. I have never seen an aircraft that even looks remotely similar to this object.

The object was in a vertical position in the shape of a triangle with white orbs illuminating its 3 points. The object was silent as it hovered. I stared at it for a few minutes before I went inside to get my binoculars. Viewing the object through the binoculars, I noticed an alternating red and green pulsating light in each white orb. After I had been looking at the object for about 10 minutes, a small white orb quickly shot out of the left side (my left) of the object. At this point, I was wondering if I should call 911. I then walked to the property next door to get a different view of the object. This view revealed a silver cylinder rotating clockwise in the middle of the object.

The object remained motionless and silent for 15 minutes before it just disappeared before my eyes. The event caught me by surprise, but it was exciting until the white orb shot out of the object. At that point, I became concerned for my safety.

KS, June 16, 2009 - Large object with arm followed by military aircraft in area.

This is a report that I took from a person living in the Kansas City Area who called in this report after seeing a TV interview I did. She wishes to remain anonymous due to her job. She gave me this report over the phone the day after it occurred. The woman was somewhat upset about this and I felt that she was genuine. She wants no publicity. I am going to take another investigator with me in the near future to spend some time watching the area from her house and will add to this report later.

"I went outside on my back deck at 2:00 AM to have a smoke and let the dog out. Behind our subdivision there are woods going back for miles - this is a public park or National forest land.

I noticed a large white light in the Southwest and as it moved slowly closer in my direction it got larger and larger. It stopped and I grabbed my high-powered binoculars to look at it - and I could see three large spheres connected together with a large arm or protrusion exending out at an angle underneath the craft.

The arm was moving around in a circle. It was metal looking, but I couldn't tell what material it was made of. The object emitted a very bright white light. It stayed in that position for a long time then just dissapeared.

Right afterwards, many military looking planes and helicopters appeared and combed the area for an hour. I am familiar with the planes coming to and from the Johnson County airport, and these were not commercial planes.

Also notable is that there has been a decrease in air traffic from the JO CO airport in the past three months.

I have lived in this house for four years and have seen many strange objects in the sky, including a black triangle shaped craft that floated by very slowly one evening last winter at 11:00 PM right over the center of our street. It was very close and very large. The lights on the bottom of the craft were so bright they illuminated all of the yards. My neighbor's motion activated yard lights went on and all of the dogs in the neighborhood went crazy - I couldn't believe that people didn't come outside to check to see what all the noise was about! I've also seen multiple white lights high up in the sky that dart around at sharp angles and move very fast, then just stop and look like stars in the sky. Have also seen some strange activities by the military and possibly some alien beings in the woods."
