I saw 6-8 craft of some sort descending to the ground and dissapearing behind the trees.

I have made a couple of reports within the last week or so from College Station and am glad to see them finally posted but must disagree with the evaluation that they are merely stars. Last night as I was coming home right after dark I saw what I thought was an airplane. I refer to them as mosquitoes because they have at least six or eight white lights that extend from them. I was about a mile from my house on a big hill where you can see for miles. I saw the first and then a few hundred yards behind was another and then another. This was to my left and then to my right was the same thing. And as I watched in dismay they all went straight towards the direction of my house. And trying to be scientific about all of this I thought OK what a coincidence. Then I watched several of them dropping toward the ground until they went behind the trees. Then two of them that were still in the air turned off their (running lights) and became these yellowish/orange balls that I have been seeing. And yes I was freaking out and no I was not drinking. And the worst part was I had to go home right by there. My house is surrounded by thousands of acres of tall thick wilderness so anything could be out there. I started watching as I turned on my road and sure enough about halfway down I could see through a small clearing some sort of blinking white lights which were on or near the ground. When I stopped to look they turned off as if I was seen. And not no but hell no I did not go to see what it was. Later that night I could see a glow back there like from a town but there is no town in that direction. I could hear what sounded like machinery which reminded me of an oil well pumping station. But to my best knowledge there is not a well back in that creek bottom either. So I went inside and pulled the covers over my head and hid. I have been seeing and filming things nearly every night for about a month and have no explainations. My friend at work said maybe they are some type of military helicoptors or something which would be fine as compared with the alterenative. I only know that I hope it is one of ours and not one of theirs. But I suppose they mean us no harm because I have definitely been seen watching them......I have video but am unclear where to send it.

NUFORC Note:

One of many reports from same source. Possibly not a serious report. PD
