Tomball TX: Hovering Disc Over Residence, Rotating Lights, Plant Damage
At approximately 21:50 on 1 November 2009, a nineteen-year-old witness at her family home in Tomball, Harris County, Texas heard a loud rocket-like sound that prompted her to go outside. She observed a disc-shaped craft approximately six meters in diameter and two meters tall, hovering at low altitude over the southwest corner of the backyard.
The object had a convex upper surface with raised panels and a slightly convex lower surface of dark metallic finish. A ring of rotating lights — predominantly yellow and blue — encircled the craft at its midline. The witness watched for approximately ten seconds before retreating indoors.
MUFON investigators arriving the following day documented physical trace evidence: a Duranta plant beneath the hover position showed burned leaves and berry tips, while surrounding vegetation exhibited stress signs without burns. A radiation detector showed no elevated readings. A separate independent witness on Interstate 35 near Georgetown reported a large circular object with multi-colored rotating lights on the same night.
