More Strange Lights Reported Over Lubbock
NUFORC Sighting Report
Occurred:3/24/2006 22:30 (Entered as:3/24/2006 22:30)
Reported:3/25/2006 6:05:45 PM 18:05
Posted:5/15/2006
Location:Lubbock, TX.
Shape:Circle
Duration:30 seconds
Saw an illuminated object moving quickly from the south to the north at a high altitude and was being followed by a plane.
At around 10:30 pm I was in my back yard and saw a swift moving lighted circular object that was about 35 degrees above the horizon at what seemed a high altitude. My house faces north and the back door into the back yard faces south. I was standing in the middle of my yard and noticed the object in the south sky moving north-north west.
One block south of my house there is a brightly lit car lot and birds and bats can be illuminated up to about 100 feet above the lot. I first I thought it was an illuminated bird as it moved across the sky but as it moved very quickly (approximately 10 times the speed of a jet airliner at cruising altitude) from a south-south west, to west position it became obvious that it was it was not being illuminated from the ground because it never waivered in brightness and appeared to be at a high altitude.
The light was not brilliant more of solid off white illumination. The light did not blink nor did I see it change color (I am red-green color blind and therefore might not of noticed subtle color changes).
Once it was approaching a due west position I called my wife out to see. She saw it to and first thought it was a plane but I pointed out the velocity and she agreed that it was moving very fast and could not make out what it could be. It appeared to very slightly lower in altitude as it moved. We tracked it from the back yard until my sight line was blocked by my neighbors house.
I then walked quickly to the front yard and saw it in the northwest sky for about 5 more seconds before it again moved out of my sight line by the roofs of houses across the street. At the point that my sight line was blocked it was only about 15 degrees above the horizon.
I then walked back into my house and back into the back yard. I then noticed a plane in the southwest sky that was approaching from the south west then changed direction moving north along a very similar path that was taken by the object. The lights on this plane were a yellowish color and it had a blinking light. It was moving much slower than the object that had just passed.

Mysterious Lights Reported Over Lubbock
NUFORC Sighting Report
Occurred:2/27/2006 10:17 (Entered as:02/27/06 10:17)
Reported:2/27/2006 9:42:21 PM 21:42
Posted:3/11/2006
Location:Lubbock, TX.
Shape:Other
Duration:3 sec.
No outline of the ship, just appeared as six lights moving at great speeds, Great Speed!
I couldn't see an actual outline of the UFO, just lights. There were two pairs of lights, each pair containing three lights, so a total of six. They were moving at incredible speeds, but i couldnt judge if it was close or far, it was at night and the lights were dim. They weren't dim as in distance, but as if they were meant to "camoflouge" with the night.
When I saw the lights they were like so... but after about 2 seconds into the sightings they split, appearing as such.
The two pair kept their speeds and aligned perfectly, then they dissapeared into the night, almost fading into the night.

Bluish-silver UFO Reported in Amarillo - "it felt like Jello"
NUFORC Sighting Report
Occurred:3/23/2006 15:30 (Entered as:3/23/06 15:30)
Reported:4/28/2006 1:45:18 PM 13:45

Duration:20 seconds
Bluish silverish UFO felt like jello over Amarillo,Texas.
When my grandfather picked me up from Puckett Elementry School at 15:00 we went down Bell St. I noticed something silver and shiny, at the corner of my eye. I looked out the passenger side window and saw something rectangular about three feet away from me.
I said " Papa look " and he said "what?" and then I felt it, it looked solid but felt like jello.
I heard my voice singing a song that I had stuck in my head from quior that morning. Then I saw three lines that had looked a lot like the design on my shoes.
My grandfather couldn't see it from where he was sitting (driving). I saw a square on top that was blueish and translucent. This is where I saw the lines that resembles on my shoe. Then it vanished very quickly from my sight.

Conspiracy Theory
Mysterious 'Z Ray' Cripples Plane Engines Over NY In 1935
The Denver Post, May 26, 1935
From Bill Oliver-UFO*BC oliver2849@home.com
New York, May 25 - Airplane pilots making flight in this vicinity have asked the department of commerce to investigate a supposed radio-ray device which they believe stops the motors of airplanes passing over New York city.
The airplanes, flying over the central part of Manhattan, have had mysterious troubles with their engines during the last few months. As a result, belief is spreading in aeronautical circles here that some short-wave experimenter has developed a "Z-ray" which interferes with the workings of airplane motors at which it is aimed.
A peculiar thing about the occurrences is that the planes' motors simply "go dead" without apparent cause, and when they are examined later, it is seldom possible to determine what was wrong. Twice, however, electrical parts have been found to be burned out, as if by a heavy current of electricity.
Several times disasters have narrowly been avoided, as the magnetism which stalls the engines does not pass off for some time, and the planes must be brought to an emergency landing. When a plane is flying at 5,000 feet or more over the city, it is possible to land at one of several airports, but the planes that have been affected by the supposed "Z-ray" are usually flying at lower altitudes.
The most recent occurrence of this nature was the near-disaster which overtook the cabin monoplane piloted by Michael Stupelli, which was forced to land with three passengers in the East river a few days ago when its motor stopped from electrical trouble which has not yet been solved.
The pilot reported he was "almost in a straight line with the top" of a mid-town skyscraper, where shortwave radio tests are known to be under way, when the motor gasped and died. From that instant he was unable to get a spark out of his generator, but when the plane was examined later the only trouble seemed to be that several electrical parts were highly magnetized.
Radio experts here said that no experiments with "Z-ray" were being made in Manhattan, so far as they knew. They pointed out, however, reports from the continent of automobiles being mysteriously halted by short-wave devices near the Italian border.
Department of commerce inspectors are expected to join with officials of the federal communications commission in their investigation. In the meantime major air lines have issued orders to their pilots to obey strictly instructions against flying over Manhattan.
