UFOs above Houston puzzle Texans

Sky gazers in the Lone Star State are still scratching their heads as they look for an explanation behind mysterious sets of lights photographed earlier this month over the city of Houston.

Images taken on August 11 during a rain storm and posted to social media have had some Texans for nearly two weeks now trying to identify what select skeptics say is an unidentified flying object, or UFO.

The pictures of what looks like a glowing circular object in the sky over Houston were such a hit on the internet that a local NBC affiliate reached out to experts earlier this month in hopes of taking the “U” out of “UFO.”

But even after approaching the vice president for astronomy at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, the station still wasn’t able to identify to mysterious sighting.





If it's a real object and it looks like it is. The more people who see it in different directions, the more likely we are to figure out where it is, what it is and see if we can explain it," the vice president, Dr. Carolyn Sumners, told the city’s Click 2 Houston News.

“It’s easy to say that it could be aliens,” added Sumners. "All the way back to recorded history, there are going to be things we can't explain. That's what makes it exciting.”

I think it would be selfish of us to believe we are the only living breathing creatures in the entire universe. I find this stuff fascinating.

I'm pretty sure it's the government testing their new drones or spy technologies.

If the universe is infinite, statistically extraterrestrial life is possible. However, I think that this is the government.

A bit off topic but what if this turns out to be true?

Took this picture out my office window. As much as I would like to admit I saw UFO. It's actually the reflection of a high hat light. Gonna submit it to my local news anyway to stir up some shit.

I believe in extraterrestrial life. It's out there. I don't think this was evidence of that, but either way.


Same thing with ghosts. Any ghost hunter shows gets my skin crawling. SHIT GOT REAL.

Did you know, that he actually doesn't have any type of degree to back up the statements he makes on that show?

If I'm not mistaken, he has a degree in personal fitness or something.
