Strange Sightings in Seth Ward, Texas

It's not every night you get a phone call at 10:30 telling you to come check out a UFO.

At least it's not every night for me!

That's what happened this past Wednesday when 23-year-old Liliana Rodriguez called to share her family's unidentified flying object sighting in Seth Ward.

Here's the scoop:

On Tuesday, Liliana's mother, Maria Rodriguez, was outside their house and noticed some strange lights in the sky.

"She was the first one to see it," Liliana said for her mom, who doesn't speak English too well.

Liliana said her mom is pretty excitable (especially, I figure, when it comes to space aliens.)

"She freaks out," Liliana says of her mom's initial reaction.

The Rodriguezes, including Liliana's 20-year-old sister Dania, described the light in the eastern sky:

"It would go really, really bright, then just disappear," they said.

At other times the light would split apart, they said.

Another strange thing about the light is that it seemed to eat an airplane.

"There was a plane flying right beside it . . . and the plane just disappeared," they said.

Hmmm!

The family took iPad pictures of the lights and brought those to the Herald the next afternoon. I saw some strange-looking lights, mostly white but sometimes with red, blue or green flashes.

It's hard to say exactly what I was looking at. Was it a star? Was it a planet? Was it some kind of signal from the nation of Gambia? (The colors on the Gambian flag are red, blue and green . . . get it?)

Anyway, I told them if the lights showed back up again to call me.

I had all but forgotten about it when, as I had one eye closed and the other watching Dave's Top 10 list, my new cell phone rang.

"It's back," they said.

So I slipped on some shorts, a shirt and my Clark Kent cap and headed out to see this UFO for myself.

It's very dark in Seth Ward at night, at least where the Rodriguezes live, so it was a perfect viewing spot for strange lights in the sky.

My eyes aren't what they once were, but I'm pretty sure what I saw that night wasn't a UFO. To me it looked like a colorful star or maybe a planet. That's also what Adlynn Vincent thought. She's the wife of Liliana and Dania's brother Mario and, I might add, somewhat of an expert on such celestial things.

Adlynn started talking about all kinds of stuff I had never heard of before. She sure sounded like she knew what she was talking about, so I asked how she knew all of that stuff. Turns out Adlynn is from Florida and kept up with a lot of space happenings because of the Kennedy Space Center being there. She later moved here with Mario, whom she met when he was working in Florida picking oranges.

(By the way, Adlynn said to expect some REALLY strange stuff in the sky in 2012 when all of the planets are due to align. Something to look forward to, I guess.)

Well, after a few minutes of star/planet/Gambia flag gazing in Seth Ward, I left.

I hadn't been home more than a few minutes when my phone rang again. (It's a good thing I didn't opt for another Flip phone because I very likely could have had another half-a-phone at that point.)

A very excited Liliana told me the very same light they had seen the night before (not that other thing that I was looking at) had returned.

As much as I wanted to drive all the way across town again, I figured I had better get some sleep.

"Take another picture of it," I told her.

So, at 12:16 a.m., the photo seen here arrived on my phone.

I called the National Weather Service folks in Lubbock the next day to ask if they knew of any satellites or weather balloons or something else that might be hovering above Seth Ward at night.

They didn't know of anything.

High Altitude Disc Observed Over New Jersey

Monmouth Battlefield Park, NJ - 6-18-2011:I was camping out on Monmouth Battlefield State Park with my Unit, the Rev War Reenactment of the Battle of Monmouth. I arrived with my family Friday night and several people said to have seen a strange glowing object with no sound flying overhead but I didn't see it for I was in the bathroom at the time. Plenty of witnesses to that sighting. Saturday night around 10:50pm EST I was outside talking with my Commander when another member pointed out there is something in the sky. That is when I turned and looked up and could see a round disc that was glowing red/light pink with an aura of the same color around the edges (reminded me of the reentry of the Space Shuttle glowing from the burning plasma underneath. Same color and aura effect.) No sound coming from it what so ever but could hear a passenger jet and see one flying in the distance away from where I was standing. This had no wings and I kept saying it looks like it might be entering our atmosphere or skipping off it. That is when I noticed it making a left turn and continue to fly out of sight. We all didn't know what it was but most laughed it off as a UFO. After that I kept an eye out for it and close to 20 minutes later it appeared again but this time seemed to be flying slower and had a slight zig-zag, wobble as it was turning and slowing down even more. Same burning aura covering it and around it. Again no sound. It flew the same flight path as before. Knowing that an altitude of 120 km (75 mi) is where atmospheric effects become noticeable during atmospheric reentry of the space shuttle the disc appeared to be a about 2 centimeters radius. This tells me that this disc is huge that is entering our atmosphere. My personal feelings at the sight were that of awe as well as investigative as to what it was I was seeing and taking account of others reactions to it as well to make sure I was not alone in seeing it. My whole family seen it too. When I seen the zig-zag wobble in the flightpath and slowing down I recalled the space shuttle doing the same to bleed off airspeed. There were was a couple fighter jets (F-16) flying in the direction of the disc's flight path 5 min after losing sight of the disc the second time flyby. There were others that seen close to a hundred others around in their camps both British and Continental that night. NOTE: The above image is a rendering.

Unusual Object Over The Four Corners

I received the following from JC Johnson at Crypto Four Corners

Hi JC, I sent a full-rez photo of the UFO for you to check out. No alteration, other than slightly cropped and a text placed at the bottom. It will take a little longer to download, but is worth the peek. And you may send it to whom ever may want to see it. Just another interesting facit of the Four Corners.

Possible Alien Abduction in Utah

MUFON CMS - 3/17/2011 - Utah: My 2 year old Chihuahua, and 13 year old Jack Russell woke up my husband,and myself, about 4 am in the morning by low guttural growls, and hackles full up. My Chihuahua sleeps on my pillow, I grabbed my gun,and so did my husband, sensing someone was in the house, he listened for a minute, only to see a huge Bright light light up the bedroom, and was quickly followed by the loudest sonic boom, shaking the daylights out of our house rattling the windows, even shaking our big garage door. At this point my husband and I jumped out of bed,and went racing down the hallway. As we reached the living room, we could literally feel what ever it was shoot off above the house, we still did a quick check of the house, but we both knew what we had just experienced. We have both been having experience's for years. The next morning my youngest son ( 12 at the time) he is now 13. Asked if he could tell me something, he didn't want me to think he was crazy, he then told me he had alien's come into his room, he was hovering, the next thing he knew he was in the air craft with the aliens, they had suction cups connected to his arms, he then showed me the marks they had left. I took pictures immediately, and asked him if he knew the time this had happened. He said about 4 am that morning. I called my husband, and told him what my son had just told me, he was not surprised. I then let my youngest son know that this had been happening to his father, and brother,and stepfather, and grandparents for years. He asked if I had any experience's. I told him That others that had been in the room with me when the alien experiences had happened said the aliens were afraid of me especially the greys because they could not get me under control. That his father, had said that my violent reactions and movements had kept him safe a few times. I have absolutely no recall of any of these experience's. I have woke up with they feeling like I was fighting,and have found finger print type bruises on my legs, But that on the night of his experience, I had nothing other than being woken up, and the light's, and the sound of the craft taking off. I Immediately contacted a well known UFO psychologist about this experience, and spoke with him for about 45 minutes.
