Four yellow-gold orbs flying from southeast to northwest viewed from Tyler, Texas just after midnight on 1/1/09.

January 1, 2009 just after midnight local time (CST) in Tyler, Texas we saw at first two glowing yellow-gold orbs flying from the southeast in a northwest direction (more toward the west). Their altitude was just above the tree tops and they were flying in perfect formation staying the same distance from each other through the whole sighting. The sky was clear (no clouds) and there was little to no wind blowing.

At first we thought that it could be that they were coming from a Roman candle since there were some fireworks being set off at the time (it being just after midnight at the New Year), but these objects were flying too perfectly and stayed at the same altitude the whole time.

The light from these objects stayed at the same intensity throughout until they finally faded away at the horizon, and there was no sound.

Just as the first two objects disappeared another two appeared from the southeast (the same direction as the first two). These two orbs were identical in size and shape to the first two. They were flying a little farther apart from each other than the first two (it seemed about twice as far), and the first one of this second two objects to appear was flying at a little higher altitude than the following object. Again these two orbs flew at the same speed as the first two and stayed at the same distance from each other and at the same altitude throughout the sighting. Also the intensity of the light from these objects was the same as the first two and similarly did not vary until they just faded away as they reached the horizon.

The entire time of the sighting from the beginning two objects to the time the last two disappeared lasted a little more than five minutes.

We were so much in awe and did not want to miss anything, so unfortunately we did not get any video of this. It is only in our memories. If anyone else witnessed this please report it. Thank you for having this web site.
