Appearance / Description of Object(s)

A large orange sphere with smaller blue or green spheres spaced all around it. I was apparently on the ground, but I never got close enough to tell. It was really large.

Size of Object(s)

I would guess the object was 100 meters or so in diameter.

Distance to Object(s) & Altitude

I guess the object was a quarter mile away, on the ground. I couldn't tell the distance at all.

Description of Area / Surroundings

The area was flat dry West Texas land with lots of cotton around and dirt roads. An Airport was about 5 miles to the west and Reese Air Force Base was about 20 miles to the southwest.

Full Description & Details

I was north of Lubbock, Texas not to far from the Airport around 2:30 pm and was driving home in my Nissan truck. I noticed a fire near some houses and so I got off the hardtop road,and drove in that direction. After I went past the houses and saw it was a trash fire, I headed west toward the airport and noticed the top of a large orange round shaped object. As I got closer, I could see smaller balls attached to it, that were a different color and more of the object came into view. I drove closer, but before I got close enough to see the base I stopped.

The next I remember is that it was hot and I looked at my watch. It was after 5:30 pm. I didn't feel like I was asleep or that anything had happened. I didn't tell anyone, not even my wife, until years later. I did see something in one of the UFO books that looked like what I saw in real life, but I don't remember what book it was. I haven't really thought about it for years and nothing like it has happened since.

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

No

Witness Background
