The Austin Planetarium is now investigating some strange sights in the sky - caught on tape. An astronomy expert is calling them unidentified flying objects - UFOs.

Some men who live in a Central Austin apartment building say they've seen bizarre things in the sky for months, but lately it's been more frequent. The men recorded their sightings on home video. Experts from the Austin Planetarium visited the apartment building area Friday night to see if they could also spot the objects

With the huge improvement in batteries it would be SO EASY to drive people crazy with rc foam UFO’s.. I have even seen some plans for stuff that has revolving lights to make it appear to be turning. You can fly slow,straight up,down...believe me There will be lots of homemade ufos being spotted in the future...I might add its fun flying them at night. And if you don’t know how low it is, and can’t hear it, its impossible to tell how big it is.

Loved that movie and those creatures were scary.

Big deal. At my place there's this really bright object in the sky that appears every morning and slowly moves across the sky, disappearing just in time for nightfall.

It happens like, every day.

It seems like there are a lot of sightings all over Texas. Maybe we just have good imaginations—LOL!

Interesting, but why was this only observed by only “some men who live in a Central Austin apartment building”.

First of all, does Central Austin have men only apartment buildings? If not, then why didn’t any women see them? Why were all these men hanging out together? Do these men enjoy movies with gladiators? Were adult beverages involved? Seriously, inquiring minds really want to know!

On a more serious note, I have a new job and commute from my home well north of Baltimore to Annapolis and pass very close by and right under a major flight path for BWI airport twice a day.

Just last week, while traveling home just after dusk on route 97, I observed an airliner coming in for a landing. The plane was banking hard and at an angle that made its true shape and its landing lights at an angle that I could not see, and while at my ground level it was pretty much dark, the plane was just high enough to catch the last rays of the setting sun.

At first glance what I saw was cylindrical, almost spherical object, a bright silvery object, hanging nearly motionless in front of me that suddenly appeared to speed up.

When I first saw it, although I knew it was an airplane, I thought, it sure looks like a UFO.

Of course as I got closer, and my and the plane’s angle changed and the plane banked in the opposite direction, I could very clearly see its wings and landing lights and knew it was an airplane. But for a very brief moment…but then again I was sober and not a guy having a “hold ‘ma beer moment - :),

A recent report released by the British government talks about 2 F15’s chasing a UFO the size of an aircraft carrier.

Carl Jung wrote an interesting book on UFO’s.
