"I believe they were UFO's," says Rachel Jensen, witness.

Jensen says it was an impressive show in the sky over East Austin.

"By the time they actually got here, it's like they went up and then took off. The speed of them was so fast," says Jensen.

Ghost Rockets Documentary – A Review

Ghost Rockets Documentary – A Review
Watch the skies for Ghost Rockets, which received its Texas premiere today at Other Worlds Austin

In search of UFOs and meaning

     There's a supreme arrogance to pretending there is no life beyond Earth. But isn't it equally hubristic to think they would traverse inconceivable interstellar distances, just to see us scarcely upright apes?

And yet, as Fox Mulder would say, we want to believe.

Scandinavian documentary Ghost Rockets catches that inner contradiction through the work of Clas Svahn and UFO-Sweden, a nonprofit dedicated to sorting the wheat from the chaff of airborne sightings. Only, so far, it's all been chaff. "My working day is all about ministrepretations," says one of the team, as he rattles off a list of reasoned explanations that debunk every single sighting.

Well, almost every sighting.

     A Texas witness at Austin reported a silent, triangle-shaped UFO flew overhead less than 1,300 feet about 6:44 a.m. on August 19, 2015, according to testimony in Case 69559 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was sitting outside his apartment watching a squirrel on the apartment rooftop across the street when the object first came into view.

“The squirrel was running across the peak of the roof about midway of the building,” the witness stated. “I was facing almost directly south when I noticed a triangular-shaped object just above and to the left of the squirrel, coming at me at a high rate of speed.”

The witness described the object.

“It was like a blurry triangular shape with a fuzzy, medium brown outline. It appeared to be a perfect triangular shape with one point up. The color of the body of the object appeared transparent, as it seemed to change color to match the sky and the clouds as it went past.” ...

Low Flying UFO Spotted Over Austin, Texas

Low Flying UFO Over Austin, Texas 6-25-14

    A Texas witness at Austin reported two encounters with a low flying, square-shaped UFO with four lights that emitted a low humming sound beginning about 9:25 p.m. on June 25, 2014, according to testimony in Case 57373 from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) witness reporting database.

The witness was driving westbound on an Austin street when the object was first seen.

“I observed what appeared to be a square, low-flying object approaching me from the east,” the witness stated. “There were four unwavering lights, two red and two yellow. There was very little space between the lights, giving the appearance of a compact square. Strangely, it seemed that one of the sides was its leading edge, not one of the angles.”

The witness slowed down for a better look.

“As the object flew over me, I watched it in the rear view mirror until it was no longer visible. I turned right and drove about one-quarter mile south, stopping at the mailboxes on the corner to retrieve the day’s mail.”

The witness then spotted the object again just as he was getting out of his vehicle.

“I noticed what appeared to be the same object, but now coming from the south (i.e., from behind me). It seemed to be about 300 feet in altitude and traveling about 25 mph. It made a slight humming noise. I watched as it flew above me and continued south until it again disappeared from sight, about one-quarter mile further south.” . . .

My UFO Experience: Witness Recounts Dark, Silent, Jelly Bean Shaped Object Over Austin, Texas

     This is an old sighting I had when I lived in Austin in 1986. Moreover, its so incredible that if you were telling me I may not want to believe it either, but it has made such an impression in my belief system that I want to share some of it. Actually it is 2 odd sightings with one being a huge solid vessel several people saw in the bright almost cloudless after sky. I saw it from arrival to departure and only now after after seeing tons of vids on the net can I saw my sighting was truly awe inspiring.

This thing instantly, and I mean INSTANTLY appeared in front of me as I was looking out west from N. Austin. It stayed completely motionless just like it was a big rock sitting on a ledge. It was positioned above a tree (only the craft was several hundred feet away and higher up just at the lowest cloud level. I used the tree as a benchmark to see if this thing was swaying with the wind and it did not move at all. No noise either and Ive seen blimps at this height and you can still hear the engine motor. No wings, not props, no jets, no windows, no lights, no nothing that was recognizable. Well it did remind me of a submarine, about the same color too, dark grey-blue-charcoal shiny and reflecting the orange sun off its western edge.

I took no pics or vids and I never spoke to the other people in the parking lot around me about this. I'm just now getting financially able to stop working and attempt some type of investigation on this.

There was a military airbase in S. Austin, Berstrom AFB (now the Austin Int. Airport) I called the AFB back at the time but they said nothing of theirs was in the air at that time.

I must restate how significant this sighting was. No doubt there was a huge dark object, like a flattened-out jellybean. When it left, well it went just like you have heard so many times now. It just was gone in the blink of an eye, only I know I didn't blink and back then I totally could not accept this type of "flight". Only recently, in the last few years have I heard of other sightings describing this kind of flight. I only knew of star trek and star wars SFX and it was not like that at all, way less dramatic.

I did not report it as I told my most trusting co-worker the next day and he thought I was seeing things. I never told anyone until 2 years ago I told my parents, and they only believed me when my wife admitted she saw it too. Well thats it. Hope you found this interesting and please don't steer any kooks my way. I went to a MUFON meeting and I know this subject brings out the wackos. Sad but true. Thanks for your website I'll have a look over it now.

Cedar Creek Man Records Light He Saw in The Sky

UFO Over Austin Texas 3-21-08

     AUSTIN, Texas (KXAN) -- A Cedar Creek man started rolling on a mysterious light he saw in the sky Friday morning.

"It looks like a star," said Jeffrey Swetz of his video-recorded sighting. "But look at the stars around it. They're like, it's like four times brighter than any star in the sky except for the blue one over there way over to my right."

Swetz said the sight did not have any flashing red or green lights, like the kinds airplanes should have.

"I don't know what it is, and I can't call it a UFO, but it's got the makings of it," Swetz said.

He added that this is not the first time he has seen a mysterious object in the sky. Swetz had another sighting when he was a teenager.
