NUFORC Sighting 3116

Occurred: 1998-02-06 19:06 Local
Reported: 1998-02-11 00:00 Pacific
Duration: 5 Mins.
No of observers: 2

Location: Webster, TX, USA

Shape: Light
Characteristics: Lights on object

Circular pulsating lights approximately 1 mile in distance from observers.

My son and I were in the backyard throwing the football. My son noticed two pulsing bright white objects approximately one mile away. They were located low on the horizon and were less than four inches apart when meaured at arms length. The lights emitted charateristics not common to any aircraft or object previously known to us. The light was circular with a definite edge, not diffused. We were not able to see any form or shape of the object emitting the lights. The lights were arranged horizontally, pulsing on and off but not at the same time. Alternately, the lights would pulse vertically, diagonally and then return to the horizontal. This was repeated with no apparent pattern. When we would move, the lights would move in the same direction. The objects seemed to move slowly across the horizon then away from us, leaving in a rapid fashion. As they moved away, they continued to pulsate, sometimes closely together, and other times far apart. All at once, they disappeared. We were both very excited/scared for a few hours after this incident occurred, and had a rough time sleeping that night.
