Duration: 30 minutes
No of observers: 2

Location: Dumas, MS, USA

Shape: Light


Two people saw a bright star moving in all directions in a small area.

My girlfriend and I were stargazing pretty far out of town, so we could see as much of the night sky as possible. After about an hour, she noticed what appeared to be a very bright star that was wobbling towards the south (through a bit of a treeline). I watched it for about 30 minutes as it moved in all directions and in circles. Without knowing how far away it was, it would be difficult to know how fast it was going, but if I held a dime out at arms length it would almost cover the area it moved around.

Three oval shaped objects in open field.

It was during the summer of 1975 and my Dad and I were going to the town of Dumas, TX, to see a movie. It was still daylight as we were going to Dumas down a farm road.

As we came to the main highway, we made a stop and as I looked across the highway into an opened field; I saw an oval shaped object about the size of a small house.

We sat there long enough for me to see two smaller oval dull blue objects that came from the west. They came to a stop under the first object and went into it. Once they did this, the larger object disappared.

1955 - Air Force jets pursue lights over small Texas community.

I was only 10 years old when my 13 year old brother and I heard something on the radio about strange lights over Amarillo Air Force Base, Amarillo, Texas. We lived in Dumas, 47 miles north of Amarillo. We heard jets flying overhead and went outside to see them as this was not normal to have any air traffic over our community with the exception of large military aircraft that flew over at very high altitudes during the day. We were delighted as youngsters to see the lights of the jets as they chased some odd looking lights overhead. The lights appeared to be about the same size as the jets and they would let the jets get close then they would change course immediately. My mother and sister were also witnesses. My brother-in-law was stationed at AFB and told us that after the jets returned that night, the base was locked down for 24 hours. I don't recall that there was any further news about it and the family never discussed it again as far as I know.
