I noticed it first, then the others passengers noticed as well. We were all saying, "What the hell?" A giant green-blue, flashing streak just appeared off to our left in somewhat of a darkened field, and that is what made it so obvious. It was so fast and then it just disappeared. The funny thing this was about 200 feet away from our truck.
Another interesting fact about this occurrence is this streak just appeared and seemed to have a path of about a 45 degree slant. I'd say it started about 70 feet off the ground and continued on its slant and disappeared at about 10 feet off the ground. It was so bright that it stopped us immediately in our tracks.
It was a neat experience and all of us kind of just hung around for a bit hoping to see more of the unexplained. I've always been interested in UFOs, and I'm not sure if we saw one or not but nonetheless it was an exciting moment of confusion for all of us. Things just don't appear and disappear that fast in normal circumstances. This streak of light was amazingly fast.
11-08-08-My sister and I were visiting our parents who live in the country just outside of De Leon, Texas. At about 10:15, she went outside to receive a phone call because her signal was weak inside. When our dad turned off the outside lights, she noticed a lighted object due east just above the tree line. At first she thought it was a plane. She watched it for approximately 30 minutes, then came in to get me.
We took our dad's binoculars and watched the object for at least 30 more minutes. We could see the colors with the naked eye and with the binoculars. It was triangular in shape and was pulsing red, green, blue and white lights. It seemed to turn from time to time changing the order of the lights. It stayed in the same spot, then appeared to get higher slowly and started to drift more south. Then we noticed appearing to our left as we looked east, another one rising over the trees.
It looked just like the same one only appeared to be further away. It also turned from time to time. We then got in my sister's truck and went out to the road and sat looking at them. They appeared to get smaller and then the clouds started to move in and obscured them. We also noticed that, at some times, there was a white light tail following them. The moon was 3/4 full and until the clouds moved in from the southwest we could see the stars. Between us both, we watched them for at least 2 hours.
11-08-08-While traveling south bound on Highway 59 from Nacogdoches to Lufkin, my wife who was driving, noticed a light in the sky above the tree line to the left of the road and ahead of us. It was large-about the size as the oncoming car head lights. It seemed as if it was moving to cross the road in front of us but it never did. It looked as if it moved toward the highway, stopped and hovered above the trees, like it was waiting for us to drive past it. After watching it for about 1 minute, I got our JVC DV recorder and began taping it through the windshield.
The light would go behind trees and emerge as we were driving toward it, going bright then dim, but not in a regular pattern. I taped for about 2 minutes or so until we were passing it to our left. I stopped taping [not following it with the cam as it was going up and out of view in the windshield, thinking it was just a plane). As I was looking at it out the top of the windshield as it was going behind us for a split second.
I could see the triangle shape, lights on the 3 points, white, red, and blue, and a bright white light in the center. I had my wife stop the car off the side of the road and I got out to tape again, and the object was moving up the far side of the Highway 59, to the north, at a high rate of speed away from us, like it was running away.
I was standing with one foot on the door sill and taping over the top of our van. I could see the two colored lights flashing as it went out of sight behind the tree tops. This section of tape shows very little due to the lack of light, but you can see one frame of flashing lights.
