UFO SIGHTING March 15 with pic BIG BEND

My 3rd evening camping with family in Terlingua during our visit to Big Bend. I had admittedly been stalking and staring at the sky for hours a night, calmly, enjoying the site, awaiting anomalies and invariably gazing at possible interesting occurrences very skeptically. Although I am a believer, I traditionally try to disbelieve everything and anything I may see so that I don’t fall prey to confirmation bias.

EVENING 1: I saw a few anomalous events, but nothing to write home about – things like bright spots, appearing and then extinguishing themselves in the sky. I saw a few anomalous events, but nothing to write home about – things like bright lights, appearing and then disappearing in the sky, starlink, etc. this culminated, and what appeared to be a star that turned on brightly, and then remained, fixed in the sky without leaving until I went to bed- could have been a satellite turning on? I have no idea – I don’t know how that works, but seemed that a prosaic explanation could potentially explain it.

EVENING 2: similar evening phenomena, except there was one little bitty point of light that seemed as if it could’ve been a starling satellite. Only it was moving vertically in small, vertical scallop shapes, as if it was creating the number three over and over again from the bottom, until it reached a Highpoint in the sky, it stopped and appeared to be confused in terms of which direction it wanted to go- moving N/NE/W/S etc, in short and small jerky half circle motions, wiggling about a center point, and then it remains static and fixed in the sky for the evening. This blew me away, as I could not understand what could possibly have moved in such a way it’s not that the movement was physically impossible. It’s just that drones don’t seem to typically move vertically in an arc of 180° repeatedly only to stop in place and hang out for the entire evening.

EVENING 3: again stargazing for a few hours, alone, as my family is not terribly interested in this sort of thing. They listen to me speculate, but generally don’t give a crap. Then, one of the “stars” did something TRULY stunning- it seemed to project two light blades similar to a radioactivity symbol, but only two of these blades not three as a typical in one of those icons. They appeared on the left and right of that centerpoint, which was the “star.” This light projection seemed fuzzy as if it was being projected through mist or haze. I immediately scanned the sky, and none of the other lights in the sky seem to have any sort of light projecting in a similar fashion. There was no missed and no atmospheric element whatsoever to create this hazy effect. Then I saw these two projections, sort of mutate and warble, and then transform into a torus around this centerpoint, which remained quite bright. So it became basically a star with a light donut around it. I started repeating oh my god oh my God in amazement. I looked around to see if there was anyone else at the campsite that might be seeing it, but return to looking at it myself, because I was blown away the star began to move and the projection around it started to transform in interesting ways. the space between the star and the light projection increased, so that the donut hole, if you will, became quite large, and the Taurus quite thin, then shrink and contracted closely around that centerpoint and the top and bottom edge of the light donut took on a straight edge, and the star itself began to move as the projection around it transformed into a perfect square with a negative space circle inside of it, with the centerpoint being the star. The interior form of the light projection was always circular, with the outer edge growing and changing. It travelled slowly over my head until it eventually blinked out and disappeared. a number of other people also saw the thing, and no one could figure out what the heck it could have been. It was incredibly windy that evening with most tents being blown away, and people actually sleeping inside their cars rather than their tents, so it could not have been a drone, it was not affected at all , it was not affected at all this incredibly fast, wind speed. by this incredibly fast wind speed. That makes me think that it had to have been quite high in the sky, which makes the size of the potential light projections in enormous. How big? I don’t know the size of a Walmart parking lot.? a couple of football fields? I rabbit hold for an eternity after it to try and find evidence of any kind of technology that could mimic such a thing – plenty of things project light, but I’ve never seen anything of this kind where there would be so much space before the beginning of the light projection, and what I ascertain to be the actual light source, the star at the center. I photographed it when it was just overhead and it looked nothing like what I was seeing perhaps because I caught it at the point of transition or transformation. It looks like light trails from camera movement but that is not the case – there are a few stars in the sky that can be seen with no movement, and a perfectly spiral glow from the crescent moon. That was just the left of the frame in the photograph.
