Something Strange In The Texas Sky? These Cities Lead The State In UFO Reports

It’s not just the stars that shine bright deep in the heart of Texas — something else seems to be lighting up the night sky. From glowing orbs over Houston to fast-moving discs above Austin, UFO sightings in the Lone Star State are soaring higher than ever. Whether you're a believer or a skeptic, the numbers speak for themselves: Texans are spotting strange aerial phenomena more frequently, and the rest of the country is taking notice.

From UFOs To UAPs

Once dismissed as sci-fi fantasy, UFO sightings have now made their way to Capitol Hill. In recent years, US Congressional hearings have brought a new level of legitimacy to the conversation — and a new name. What were once called UFOs (Unidentified Flying Objects) are now officially referred to as UAPs (Unidentified Aerial Phenomena). This isn’t just a branding change — it reflects a growing recognition that something unexplainable is happening in our skies. Even the US military has released footage of UAPs they can't explain. So yes, if you've seen something weird flying over Texas, you’re far from alone.
