SIGHTING: WICHITA FALLS, TEXAS (UNITED STATES)

Witness Testimony

"After returning home from a social outing around 8:30 PM, just before pulling into my drive, I noticed that the sky was very clear and many stars were visible. I walked through my house to the back yard to see if the moon was coming up as the nights have been so clear. I stood a few minutes watching the skies toward the east. As I watched I noticed movement and a group of star-like lights, I believe 5 in all, in the general shape of a kite or cross or arrow-head moved quickly and silently overhead and slightly to the south, moving westward. I could see the grouping flatten as the object went past, like I was seeing it more from an edge view. In less then ten seconds it passed over and disappeared behind my two-story house. The lights had a slight shimmer or unstable look, like they were being viewed through water or some transparent media. I checked the time and it was 8:45 according to my cell phone clock. As it passed my thoughts were that I wished it would stop or turn so I could get a better look. But it was over so fast I barely had time to take stock of what I'd seen. It seemed impossible to determine the precise elevation, however, I would guess that the object was between 1000 and 5000 feet from the earth. I am a MUFON field investigator and am open to suggestions as to what this might be. However, in my opinion, it was anomalous enough in appearance that I decided to report/document it. "
