Background

Event Details On 9. Oktober 2021 at 13:23 Uhr during the Wings Over Houston Air Show at Ellington Air Force Base near Houston, Texas, multiple witnesses observed a compact, rounded, silver-colored metallic body flying high up, possibly over 15.000 Fuß. The sighting lasted about fünf Minuten.

Observation and Behavior The object showed no exhaust trail while it repeatedly shifted between hovering stationary and executing maneuvers. This unusual motion drew attention amid the air show activities.

Evidence and Witnesses Vier Beobachter were present, and one managed to photograph the phenomenon. Reports were filed with MUFON (Case 118675) and NUFORC (Sighting 164979, 164980).

Investigation and Hypotheses A MUFON-Untersucher proposed it might have been a US Army Long Endurance Multi Intelligence Vehicle, essentially a hybrid airship demonstrated at the event. Kevin D. Randle discussed it in his blog post from 11. Dezember 2021.
