UFO Sighting - Katy, Texas, (West Houston) Nov 12, 2010, 3:54 PM

While driving westbound on Katy Freeway between the Fry and Mason off ramps, I noticed a very bright star in a clear part of the sky approximately 35 degrees above the horizon due west, directly above the Freeway ahead of me in the very far distance maybe 10-15 +miles ahead, judging by a passing airliner (a short time later) northbound in the foreground in front of the clouds.

At first the object got brighter and then dimmer and faded away a few times.

Then it reappeared and elongated into a horizontal extremely bright line with the right end of the line wider than the left end (skinny triangle).

It then shrank back down to a bright star and faded, then reappeared and split into 2 bright stars and merged back together and faded out again.

It then again reappeared as a bright star and elongated again as before, but a little brighter and a little wider at the right end and shrank back down to a bright star and faded in and out.

At this point (3:54 PM), I called my wife (hands free Bluetooth), who was about 1/4 mile behind me on the freeway, and asked her if she could see the object that was fading in and out ahead of us, but due to a bad connection, she could not clearly understand me.

In frustration I hung up... the object then faded away and disappeared.

1988 UFO Sighting - San Bernardino, California

Hello, my name is Melonie, and for more than 22 years I have paid attention to the UFO scene to see if I would ever find someone who would come forward and describe by shape and color what I had seen when I was 8-years-old.

It was in the night time probably around the end of winter / beginning of spring of 1988.

I was taking the trash out for my mom at around 8:00 PM at a motel on Foothill Blvd and Pepper Avenue in San Bernardino.

I don't remember what made me feel like I should look up to the sky, but I did, and when I did, I saw two faint colored green, oval-like objects flying faster than a normal plane would because it seemed like I only saw them both for a second or maybe two, and then they were gone.

They both stayed a small distance from one another and stayed at the same speed, as well as looking like twin aircraft.

They were flying from a northwest direction heading to a south-southeast direction. Now I only have told my family about this when I was little, right after it happened, and my mom told me I watched too much TV and so I never spoke of it again until someone else came forward with a report of striking similarity.

Thank you for your years of information, because now I don't feel alone, and I know now that even though most reports are fake, that my encounter was real.

Thank you for your time,

your friend,

Melonie
