A Lakeway, Texas, witness reports watching an orb March 9 that was following an airliner, according to testimony from the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON) database.

About 30 seconds into the sighting, the witness said the orb veered away from the jet to the northeast and was joined by a second orb.

The two orbs then seemed to fly in formation. They continued on heading north while climbing altitude until they slowly vanished.

"I am not sure if this is related," the witness stated, "but later that evening there were helicopters circling the area. There was nothing crime or medically related that I could find on the news the next day and have never seen that many helicopter circling and patrolling the area."

Lakeway is a city in Travis County, population 8,002, and is located near Lake Travis in central Texas.

The following is the unedited and as yet uninvestigated report filed with MUFON. Please keep in mind that most UFO reports can be explained as something natural or manmade. If Texas MUFON investigates and reports back on this case, I will release an update.

Texas, March 9, 2010 - Saw an orb following a SW Airliner. It slowed down and veered right another orb appeared and they flew away together as if in formation. MUFON Case # 22298.

Last Tuesday, at approximately 3:50 pm in Lakeway, TX (30°22'24" N, 97°58'37" W) I was leaving my house to run up to the store. Right as I was opening my car door I had the urge to look up. I think the Suns reflection off of the plane or the orb itself may have flashed and caught my peripheral.

Anyway I looked up and noticed a SW Airline plane at 30° NE heading West (roughly over Lake Travis). I noticed a bright white orb on its trail.

The sky was completely clear and sunny out. I had to take my sunglasses off to make sure what I was seeing was not a reflection.

Not less than 30 seconds later, the orb slowed to almost a complete stop and veered 5° NE as the plane continued its heading. As the orb came out of its turn, another orb came out of nowhere (possibly from the right of just appeared). The 2 orbs then proceeded to converge toward each other stopping at what appeared to be a side by side flight formation. They continued on heading north while climbing altitude until they slowly vanished. (The attached photo is a sketch of the incident I drew right after it happened. It has 2 time points (a & b) for reference)

Side note: I am college educated and have been an avid sky watcher for many years, frequently viewing and photographing planes and helicopters. I have never seen anything like this and definitely had chills running up my spine after the incident had passed.

Also - I am not sure if this is related but later that evening there were helicopters circling the area. There was nothing crime or medically related that I could find on the news the next day and have never seen that many helicopter circling and patrolling the area.
