Light in the Western Sky
Earlier during the day on the 19th of November at about 2:05 pm, I saw a gray cylinder that resembled a fuselage without any wings going upwards and it seemed that it had some type of a faint trail following it. It was a bright sunny day and there were several other planes out leaving contrails in the sky but this object was just going straight upwards and it disappeared from sight in about a minute. The object was almost straight upwards from where I was standing but I was facing eastwards when I saw it so I had to have been eastbound. There were no markings on the object, it was not shiny, but just a dull gray or dirty white color, and it's speed was difficult to tell since it was going upwards.
Next, for the past two nights (11/19/03 and 11/20/03) there has been a light that is stationary close to my school in Richardson which is where I go to school and work.
If you look towards the west, you can see that it is about at a 45 degree angle with the horizon. Both times that this light appears, there had been several witnesses both faculty members, staff, and students that have witnessed this light. The object itself just seems to be a white or yellowish star that is out of place but has been seen in plain view at 5:45 pm and is extremely too bright to be a star. The idea that it was a weather balloon seemed to be a more valid case but with all the wind that we have had these past days, I find it hard to believe that a weather balloon would be stationary for over an hour.
There were several students that watched it until approximately 8:00 pm when I was told by them that "it just left after a while". When I asked how exactly it departed, the students told me that it left slowly towards the west. These same students also claimed that they saw another craft fly by with three red lights on the front of it. The details of the shape of the craft were quite sketchy but I took it that it was shaped like a plane but the lights were arranged strangely.
((NUFORC Note: We presume the date of the alleged sighting was in the year 2003. We have altered the date above to 2003. PD))
