Duration: 3 min
No of observers: 3

Location: Motley/Cottle Counties, TX, USA

Shape: Diamond
Characteristics: Lights on object, Changed Colo

I was traveling from Lubbock, TX to Cee Vee, TX (Cottle County) and 17.4 miles from Matador, TX, on Friday, 10/08/04, and I saw a large triangular object (2 lights, space, 2 lights, then two lights below and in between the top sets. It sat in the same position approximately 1000 feet (hard to judge just after dark, but this is approximate) off the ground. I drove toward the area and it stayed stationary. I pulled off the road to view it and it was as though they turned off their lights. It just disappeared! When I got to Cee Vee, my nephew reported that several friends of ours, hunting on one of our farms, had seen three lights (separate units) over the farm, and they took camcorder pictures of the event. On Sunday, October 10th, I viewed their pictures and it was unbelievable! I told them I thought I had seen the "mother ship". Their lights changed alternatively white to red. Mine didn't.
