- I live at Lake O' the Pines, Texas and
on June 8, 2006 at 6:59 P.M. I was at the lake shore and spotted an extremely
bright object to my east after looking for a jet I heard in that general
direction. My mother was with me, and my dog came along for a walk
with us also. My mother eventually spotted the object also. My
dog (Border Collie mix) didn't react at all, though she's nearly ten and
is somewhat hard of hearing. My mother had her 10X50 binoculars with
her, and I had my 10-30X50 binoculars with me to which I've mounted my
camera, which is a Canon Powershot S2 IS with a 1.5 teleconverter lens,
making the optical zoom a full 18X.

- We watched the object through our binoculars
for approximately seven minutes until we could no longer see it due to
distance. I snapped 423 (yes, four hundred twenty-three!) pictures
of the object as I viewed it through my binoculars. The object made
no sound that we could hear, and it drifted slowly west (just about directly
over us), then south, then southwest of us where we finally lost sight
of it. There was only a little amount of breeze from various directions
as I recall. It was quite high I believe, but I have no way to judge
its actual altitude or size. With my unaided eye it was just a very
small white dot, though it was very bright. What is very odd is that
it appeared to change shapes frequently throughout the time we saw it,
and the picture sequence confirms this. The object was definitely
not a plane or a bird or bug, though I'm not really sure what it is.
I believe if it were a cluster of balloons I would have been able to tell
while looking at it through my binoculars as well as looking at the pictures
of it. I can only assume that it was self-illuminated due to its
extreme brightness and that what we saw was the result of plasma surrounding
a craft rather than the actual structure of the craft itself.

- Thank you to the witness for the interesting
report.
