Twitter is humming about a YouTube video and some photos that may or may not show UFOs over Houston.

The images were shot Aug. 11 during a rain storm with dramatic thunder and lightning, and they have been reposted and cited many times. The video was shot from a moving car, and the photos may be screenshots from the video.

On Friday, Twitter posts with some version of the phrase, “Mass UFO Sighting Over Houston Texas Lights Up Social Media” were still common.

They ranged in tone from the straightforward to philosophical to tongue-in-cheek: “its my birthday and there have been ufo sightings all over houston. coincidence? i think not.”

Another commenter said, “UFO over Houston? Just NASA.” That prompted this reply: “NASA has successfully built a flying saucer.”

A local expert on UFO sightings said this one could be easily explained.

Fletcher Gray, the volunteer chief investigator for the Texas chapter of the Mutual UFO Network, known as MUFON, said the mysterious circle of lights was a reflection of highway lights since the video was shot through a car window.

“It’s no more than light trapped in the side window,” said Gray, noting that he was curious about the source of the photos.

Listen to Audio Clip of Witness Report:

Description: The witness reported that he was visiting Houston, Missouri to look for a home. (At the time he was a police officer in Chicago, IL. He was planning to retire in a few years to a new location.) He said that his realtor put him up in a house close to the realtor’s home. In the middle of the night the witness was awakened by a sound very similar to the sound heard in the movie “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.”

He was quite surprised by this. At the time the realtor’s two dogs began barking wildly. Suddenly the dogs stopped barking and the witness went back to sleep. The next morning he felt a sore spot on his left calf muscle. He looked down and found a sore. He pulled out some “brass- like or copper-like” material from his calf. He had no idea how the metal got there. He looked at the metal through a magnifying glass and wasn’t able to figure what it was or how it got into his leg.

He said that the spot on his calf is still there after nearly 15 years. He also stated that the spot sometimes itches.

Investigator’s Notes: This is a unusual case in that the witness claims to have heard a sound like the sound in the movie “Close Encounters of Third Kind.” The witness has credibility given that he was a police officer for 30 years in Chicago.

The witness did not see anything, but he thought that the dogs were reacting to something. The metal that he pulled out his leg the next morning is somewhat similar to the “implants” described by alleged alien abductees. It is difficult to say what happened on this night.

Like most close encounters and abductions physical evidence is lacking. (The witness didn’t keep the metal that he extracted from his leg.)

We were cleaning up after my daughter’s college graduation dinner. They called my sister and I outdoors to view them.

A few days later while viewing the video footage, I realized the orbs that we saw moving rapidly, turning their lights off and still being visible, then some disappearing completely were actually trying to escape a strange creature in the sky (not visible to the naked eye) which is captured consuming the last two orbs at the end of the video footage.
