Size of Object(s)

If I held my fingers at arms length in front of me, the distance between my thumb and index finger would be about 3 inches to estimate the diameter of the lights. Since there was no other object in sight to compare, it was impossible to estimate the actual size.

Description of Area / Surroundings

Urban park area.

Full Description & Details

I was walking from my car to the walking/jogging tract at Red Bud Park in Abilene, Texas at approximately 5:30 PM. I go there to exercise. I caught a movement out of the corner of my eye and looked up to see two glowing balls of light moving from my right to left at a low altitude. This would be from East to West. As I looked at them, they moved silently and at a hight rate of speed. This took them just South of Dyess Air Force Base located on the West side of Abilene. It only took approximately 10 to 15 seconds for them to disappear at the horizon. They made no sound whatever. One was slightly ahead of the other and to the side. It was impossible to discern any solid shape or form. The color was golden yellow and did not have a distinct edge or surface.

Can sighting be explained as any conventional man-made or natural object?

Definitely not. I have flown in business jets many times and these objects were travelling several times the speed of a convential aircraft. Plus, they were silent. I don't know what they were but they were not convential aircraft.

Witness Background

Graduate of Texas Tech University. I worked 38 years as a Petroleum Landman and Land Agent for the City of Abilene before retiring.

Views on UFOs, before and after sighting

I have an open mind about UFOs. I am leaning toward the view that they are experimental aircraft being tested by the US government. However, I cannot dismiss the sightings of professional people such as airline pilots that insist they have seen objects that make turns that are impossible for conventional aircraft to make.
