Video: North Texas UFO? ‘Mysterious’ sight lights up Lone Star skies
On Monday, a North Texas Facebook account published a post with a video asking others if they’d also seen a recent UFO in the area.
Pricilla Contreras’ Facebook account published the post with a pin listing the location as Ennis, Texas, a city within the Dallas-Forth Worth metroplex about 40 minutes south of downtown Dallas.
As of Wednesday morning, the post has received more than 100 reactions, 45 comments and 55 shares. In the comments section, other people said they had also seen the lights overhead, including one person noting a sighting in east Fort Worth.
A number of people reacted with alien emojis or GIFs showing extraterrestrial spacecraft and even a pair of dancing “grays.”
On Tuesday, Fox 4 News published a report about the sighting and included Contreras’ video, stating that “many” viewers sent in footage of the “odd” Monday night sighting, adding that the “mysterious line of lights were visible for many across the metroplex around 9 p.m., leading some to believe they spotted a UFO.”
While many people in the comments section on Contreras’ video pointed toward potential extraterrestrial origins regarding the lights, the source may be slightly closer to home, albeit still technically out of this world.
Citing the FindStarlink.com site, a page dedicated to tracking SpaceX’s StarLink satellites whirling overhead, the Fox report states that Elon Musk’s internet satellite company was the source of the peculiar sight as the tracking site shows that the “Starlink-55 satellites passed over North Texas” on the night of the sighting.
On Sunday, SpaceX launched 54 Starlink satellites in Florida, Fox reported.
