In 2009, many reports were turned in about the orange/gold lights/shapes/ that followed each other the night of the 4th of July. I watched them, one after the other. Glowing brightly, lightbulb shaped to my view, through binoculars. After seeing these, I was convinced they were asteroids. When they all reached a certain point, it seemed they were repelled away from the earth at a very high rate of speed. Last year around the 4th, someone went through great effort to simulate/hoax those "lightbulbs" W/ net, balloons, & orange flares. In a lot of areas. The simulation was not even close to the 4th 2009 lights. 2010 I looked but saw only the simulations. So here tonight, July 2nd,2011, I watched 3 of the same type objects follow each others path, north of where I live. I believe they were the same type objects as July 4th, 2009. I will be out watching for them the next few nights. I try to think logical about things I cannot explain, but as crazy as it sounds, it's like these giant spacecraft are coming here to see the fireworks!The last 3 lights did not follow what I'd expect an asteroid to do.[although the path may have worked] The first one did this downward violent wiggle, then took off. I don't believe an asteroid would do that-logically. So now I have to consider that huge craft, are coming to enjoy the festivities! If they have these craft, they aren't blowing us to kingdom come, so I guess I shouldn't think of them as a threat.Man hasn't the ability to explore all parts of this solar system, so they may be from within it. Skeptics have to have scientific proof, that they "aren't" there, to state so. & they cannot do that as of yet. Reports of big eyes[low light conditions], thin bodies, yet big heads[low gravity], so maybe it's just a weekend vacation for someone on a moon near jupiter, or elsewhere? With vehicles like that! They might have a society like bees, or ants, & that don't jive with human way of life. I guess I'd rather lil'green men, than asteroids. Get out & look for them the next few days, they are really an awesome sight, man can't duplicate.[but are trying for some reason, so watch for hoax balloons w/ flares] get the cameras set up...& they are really something, if your lucky enough to see them.[around 9-11 pm. it seems]

Saw a repeat tonight,[5] awesome speed, brightness, & verbatum flight patterns. 6 hoaxed flare balloons were released from nearby mtn. Went straight up & burned out. Why? Who would believe it unless they saw it? I don't get the logic, but someone is paying attention to these objects, & are trying to confuse people.

It does sound like someone is trying to create a bit of uncertainty about it all, but it could also be someone's way to acknowledge to the potential ET onlookers that they have been noticed. I have to wonder how visable some of these fireworks displays would be from space, once darkness sets in on the planetary backdrop. I guess it could cause some other onlooker to wonder what was going on.

It's either that, or every year when the earth reaches a specific point, there are asteroids just sitting there, that we pass by. I don't like to think that is the case. But they seem to come down, turn to the right, [as the spin of the earth would make them seem to do] then shoot off, evenly spaced, one after the other following the exact path as the first object. extremely big,[that's the part that bothers me the most, extreme size!] high,bright, have a form, & faster than any thing I've ever seen.

After thinking a bit, I"M WRONG! Objects would go the opposite way I last stated, and would be displaced if repelled by the earth. So maybe they are craft? If so...they are still amazing to watch!

I am not saying what you saw was not unexplained but we had many reports of this and have found the majority of the type of lights are Chinese lanterns which have gone retail.

jbj I've been reporting these strange orange lights in West Texas since 2008. I've talked to Mufon Investigators numerous times and haven't got much help from them, after one Mufon Investigator told me that what I was seeing was the "Afterburners" of the Jets from Dyess Airforce Base, I just gave up after that. I've heard enough nonsense from Mufon to even bother anymore. I've only had one Investigator take the time to look into this, because she too has been seeing the Orange lights for a while up in Witchita Falls. I've completely stopped reporting the lights here. Not worth it, to me its just another report that does absolutely nothing. I don't think Mufon takes some of these sightings serious. When i was seeing them for 13 days in a row, I figured someone would take the time to come see what I was seeing. But not its been 4-5 months since i've seen anything. (guess the jets stopped using their afterburners).

Hi Izzdan
Sorry to hear that nothing has been relayed to you but I would have to remind you MUFON is not a service. We do our best with very limited resources and sometimes our conclusions are not the most popular. Have you looked into the explanation that was given to you? What do you think the objects are if you disagree with the investigators? Have you tried contacting the Texas management to get a final conclusion?

I understand that Mufon works on limited funds. So what exactly does Mufon do just take reports and add them to the files? That's the frustrating part, I guess I can't blame you guys for not having the funds to investigate things. What do I think the lights are? Im pretty not sure but they've been appearing for 3+ years. Completely silent and always does something different. Im not sure what Texas Management is. But the investigators explanation of what it was, is completely wrong. Afterburners make a sound, they also move, i've been living on or around military bases since I was 9. Im 36 now, I've seen my fair share of planes. This wasn't and isn't a plane unless they hover and make no sound and stay in the same part of the sky for up to 45 minutes sometimes. Its a mystery to me, that's why I was asking for help. But its now been a while since i've seen anything. They could be gone, but I went 8 months without seeing the lights till out of nowhere they appeared again. So who knows.

Yes it is all pretty trippy.Basically to me it is awarness and what you see on sci-fi is not that far fetched as one thinks, or 2 dementions.

Hi, izzdan.
I've been investigating the lights in the Central Texas area for the past couple of years. I'm only an amateur investigator rather than a MUFON FI but I'm intelligent enough to figure out a few things about them.
Some of the orange lights that people are seeing may be flares that were dropped by the military. They are suspended by parachutes and float down very slowly so they may be in the sky for 30 minutes or an hour without moving much. These flares are often used in training exercises so they are pretty common sights. A lot of these flares started appearing immediately after the original Stephenville Lights flap, like the military was trying to make people think they were all flares.
Some of the other lights that people see are military aircraft like planes and helicopters that perform maneuvers in the area. I personally have witnessed these aircraft training exercises on several occasions and I can say they are pretty amazing things to watch.
I've also seen lights in the area that truly were unidentifiable which makes me believe that there is something weird going on out there. It's not just military jet afterburners that people are seeing. There is a lot more to it than that. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what it is though.
(I've seen Chinese lanterns in flight also, although not in Texas. They are pretty easy to recognize.)

The orange lights I see are not in the sky for 30 minutes, they'll be there for a few seconds (2-3 seconds) then go away. I've seen flashes of bright white lights associated with them that appear out of nowhere. No helicopters, not planes, they appear in the sky for a second or two. They don't float down or up or sideways. They sometimes appear in patterns. Unless the military is dropping flares in triangle patterns or perfectly straight lines where they come on and go off in sequence I highly doubt. I know what a chinense lantern is and how it looks in the sky, like I said I've seen them appear near planes flying into Abilene Regional. The orange light will appear in the flight patch of the plane or right behind it. I've seen them with a full moon when the sky is pretty bright, no planes in the area dropping flares. With our large open wide sky here I see no beacons from planes in the area. Just these strange orange lights. Im well aware of military planes and what they drop, i've lived on a navy base, army, airforce and coast guard. These aren't them.

Also i've seen the flares that they drop from the planes in Brownwood, close but not quite. I appreciate the explanation of what happens around here from the military but these aren't the military. I've seen them very close to where I live, i've also captured a picture and a video of them. Hard to explain the pic and vid compared to flares or whatever else.

I agree that not all of the lights are caused by the military. I've seen lights that blinked on out of nowhere and disappeared, then reappeared in an entirely different location. I've had a few other experiences out in that area that totally defy any type of rational explanation. There is definitely something weird going on out there...we just need to figure out what it is.
