UFO enthusiasts say Houston has seen lots of strange flying objects in 2017

The Houston area has been a hotspot for UFOs so far this year, if a website dedicated to tracking UFO sightings in Texas is to be believed.
Texas UFO Sightings ( www.texasufosightings.com/ ) welcomes photos and videos from Texans reporting on alleged UFO sightings as people come across them. The reports range from believable to absurd.
In one reported sighting, a submission includes a photo from an April 5 Astros game at Minute Maid Park against the Seattle Mariners. The tipster told the website that "an orb seems to roll out onto the field from between the catcher's legs and roll toward the pitcher. ... The players did not seem to notice."
Other reports range from bright, unidentifiable lights at night to strange disc-shaped objects traveling through the sky. There are some suggestions the objects could be mistaken for airplanes flying in and out of Bush Intercontinental and Hobby airports, but people deny these notions vehemently.
"We had to video this strange object in the sky," wrote one UFO witness in Montgomery County who claimed to see a flying orb on Feb. 26. "It was definitely not an airplane. The object moved from side to side and up and down. It would go from bright to dim and back to bright again."
UFO sightings in America have a long history, dating back to at least 1865 reports the American Chronicle.
The Missouri Democrat ran an article that year after interviewing a trapper who claimed to see a "bright, luminous body" in the skies. The headline for the story was "A Strange story-remarkable discovery."
Texas UFO Sightings doesn't claim that any of the submitted photos and videos are in fact flying saucers. Instead, the site asks people if they believe the objects could be satellites or military crafts.
Meanwhile, there is other news in world of ufology:
Popular UFO Sightings Daily website to go dormant
By Craig Hlavaty
Published May 15, 2017
The man behind one of the most popular UFO sightings websites has decided to call it quits after seven years of exposing the strangest images that have been found.
Site owner Scott C. Waring said in a farewell post on UFO Sightings Daily ( www.ufosightingsdaily.com/2017/05/my-last-post-thanks-for-7-years-of.html%20 ) that he began the site in 2010 to give an outlet for people who had allegedly seen UFOs but didn't have an outlet to show off their images.
According to Waring, the site had moved away from education and enlightenment and was heading towards entertainment.
"This is serious stuff that has depths that even I can't fathom," he wrote on the site late last week. "It deserves serious thought and research, not contempt and ridicule."
Over the years the site has been the go-to for photos of strange images on Mars and the Moon, plus UFO sightings from all over world, even here in Houston.
Here at Chron.com the work of Waring and his team of contributors have offered up a unique diversion for readers wanting to see squirrels and groundhogs on Mars or UFOs flying by the "BE SOMEONE" graffiti on I-45.
