SIGHTING: FREDERICKSBURG, TEXAS (UNITED STATES)
Witness Testimony
"I was going down my inside staircase at 7:45pm on Jan 7th 2008. I noticed a big bright light on the other side of the highway(1/2mile from my house) through the window on the landing. I looked at it for a few minutes thinking it a low flying plane with landing lights. It didn't move. I went to the outside staircase on the top landing to get a better look. It was just a huge very bright light not moving. As I watched, it began to move from the north to the south in a straight line. This was coming closer to my house. It seemed to be following the fence line between my neighbors and I. I was amazed at how big it was which would be about the size of a big house. Now I could see it had lots of lights, some colored some strobe type, some blinking, some seemingly moving around. I was amazed because it had no sound until it got closer and then I could hear what sounded like a displacement of air. No motor or engine sound. I called my neighbor and asked him to go outside to see the UFO. Big mistake. He ran out his front or north facing door first then came back to the phone. I repeatedly tried to direct him where it was and he couldn't see anything because I think he kept looking in the wrong direction. This thing would have been very difficult to miss. It got to a place that seemed to be on the other side of my barn but still going very slow and it turned a very quick 45 degree turn and started picking up speed. It then sort of just whooshed off very fast going due east. My neighbor had in the meantime gotten his binaculars and I said I could no longer see it except a faint light in the east. He said definitely it was a heliocopter. Any plane or copter makes a noise. One can usually hear a copter before you see it around here. I work with horses outside and know this for fact as they disrupt the horses with the noise. This was not a plane or copter or anything else I have ever seen in the air or anywhere. I was fascinated more than afraid. I couldn't take my eyes off of it to run get a camera. I then called my sister in Montana and my Mother in Houston to tell them about it. I later heard the reports in Stephenville, Tx and felt better about talking about it. But still most people don't believe me and the ones that do all wish they'd seen it too. I have sent lots of these reports in to different addresses but haven't heard from anyone. It was not a mile long but definitely huge. I have a barn that is about the same size of it. It seemed to be quite low. The wildest thing was no motor noise and the way it went very slow and could turn so sharp and could then whoosh off so fast. I did notice a lot of dogs in the area were barking. It had to go across our little FM road but it seemed to wait on the north side of the highway before crossing over. And it did seem to follow my fence line.The whole scene took maybe 10 minutes. It was an amazing thing and probably once in a lifetime thing. The part that is most questionable is am I the only one in the area to see it? So many people in the Stephenville area saw something but this area is not near so populated. But still. I would appreciate any feedback. Thank you. Judy Siracusa"
