A Texas student traveling between Rio Grande and Roma watched a bright white, sphere-shaped object moving close to the ground on April 8, 2010, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.
"It moved downward in the shape of an arc, a movement I believe no airplane or helicopter do when they plan to land," the witness stated. "Anyhow, I do not know if the object landed because I lost site of it once it got too low to the ground because of trees covering the site."
The student was a passenger in a car driven by a friend. The friend did not witness the event.
The student believes the object was about to land.
Roma is in Starr County, Texas, population 9,617.
The following is the unedited and as yet uninvestigated report filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If Texas MUFON State Director Ken Cherry investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update.
TX, April 8, 2010 - moving sphere object with a bright-white light. MUFON Case # 22768.
I was coming back home from college in my car, on the 83 highway, late at night. My mother called to see when I was going to arrive home and I answered her call from my cellphone.
I was on the passanger seat at this time, while a friend drove me home. My mother was upset I was coming home late, so I ignored what she was saying to me and instead looked out the windshield at a slight angle towards the driver's side.
In the sky, across from Alvarez Rd (in between Rio Grande,TX and Roma, TX)I saw a bright white light, a perfect sphere.
My first reaction was: "Oh my God!! What's that!?..Oh my God..it's moving!!..it's f*king moving!"
While the driver still drove at 55mph-60mph, I kept track of the object for about 3seconds. The object was NOT far up in the sky, but instead it seemed to be pretty low to the ground. I saw it moving down towards the ground as if it were going to land.
It moved downward in the shape of an arc, a movement I believe no airplane or helicopter do when they plan to land. Anyhow, I do not know if the object landed because I lost site of it once it got too low to the ground because of trees covering the site. I noticed there was a house near where the object was, but there may be more than just one.
The driver did not see what I saw, but I wanted to ask people around the area where I saw this object if they had seened something similar to my story but I was too scared of doing that for fear of being called crazy.
What made me first notice the object was its perfect sphere-shaped bright-white glow. When I first saw it, I didn't think anything of it; until I saw it was actually moving downward as if to land, I thought it could be perhaps a UFO because of the way it moved downward, forming an arc path.
During the siting I felt in disbelieve; It was very unexpected because I was not looking at the sky to find strange things, but yet there it had been very tangible. While still on the phone with my mother, I told her what I had seen: the bright white light shaped as a sphere.
After the sighting when I got home, I asked myself what it could have been and started iliminating possibilities and I could not find an explanation for it. So I arrived at one conclusion: an Unidentified Flying Object..apparantly about to land.

This is right along the border with Mexico. I suspect a helicopter can land in an arc. Border Patrol?
My first thought, not saying thats what it is, but Border Patrol. Another thing, this I think is near were the supposed Texas/Mexico UFO crash happened. Supposedly in 1948 a 90 ft disk being chased across Texas by the military crashed with an airliner on the Mexico side. An alien body was recovered and our military got the craft. Some people call it the Mexico Roswell.
Now I see they are using the border area because of the tringular border outline between Mexico and Texas as an example of its form . And the interactions of physical manipulation out from the form like the illegal border crossings that take place every day in that region . Also they want to hypothisize with Us in stating since these UFOnic images are not landing permanently but hovering ever so slightly that they are trying to say theses images are trying to describe a real living body of huge purportions

This is interesting, i am quite fascinated with this unknown objects makes your mind wanders for a while and land back to Earth in 360 degrees.
