Texas ufo ring

A Texas witness taking cloud photos on June 10 captured the outline of a circular object, according to witness testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

The photo uploaded with the MUFON report looks somewhat similar to a recent Virginia case where witness Denna Smith saw a black floating ring in the sky at the Kings Dominion theme park. The park says the ring is from a ride called Volcano, The Blast Coaster.

Kings Dominion is located in Doswell, VA, about 20 miles north of Richmond.

In both cases, the witness caught on camera what appears to be a perfect ring.

The following is the original testimony from the MUFON witness database and is unedited. A CNN report on the Virginia case is at the bottom of this page. The second video is more original video of the Virginia case.

Texas, June 10, 2009 - Taking photos and in one frame I captured the outline of a circular object.

June 10, 2009 at 8:04 p.m.

I take photos of clouds for my art projects. Sometimes I feel literally compelled to take photos of the sky. I looked at these photos through the view screen of my camera but didn't downloaded to my laptop until June 12, with only a cursory glance. I later examined all the photos, on the morning of June 17, 2009. As I examined each photo, I noticed something odd. There "it" was, dead center of one of the frames.

I would have missed it but the symmetry of the object drew my attention.

The light vs. shadowing shows a perfect circle of something that is there, yet seems to be attempting to hide. My digital camera appears to have captured the energy field around an object?

This object is not a speck of dust, drop of moisture, insect, or light anomaly and does not appear in any other frames, before or after.

Description: As I recall, I was facing East and the object would have been approx. 70-75 degrees above the horizon. The weather was quite warm. A thunderstorm had just passed and another was approaching from the West.

I am attaching an adjusted and cropped version, with this report. The original, untouched photo is safely filed away and I have sent a copy of it to a MUFON FI (Teresa Turner), who is handling another case.

Thank you.

CNN reports on a similar sighting by Denna Smith.
