On a quiet afternoon in Corpus Christi, Texas, just after 2:50 PM, I stepped outside with my mom and glanced upward, not expecting to see anything unusual. Then I noticed it—a disk-shaped object, nearly as white as the clouds above, hovering in the eastern sky just below the cloud line. It was about the size of a dime from my vantage point, and immediately I knew it wasn’t a plane. There were no wings, no blinking lights, nothing to suggest it was any conventional aircraft.
As I watched, the object slowly descended, lowering itself closer to the horizon. That’s when I noticed a distinctive silver or grayish band wrapped around its center, like a belt reflecting the sunlight. The reflective quality of the band made the object shimmer in the afternoon sun, enhancing its unearthly presence.
For about seven seconds, the disk held its position, creating an eerie stillness in the sky. Then it began to dissipate, or perhaps it was cloaking itself, because it vanished suddenly. Before it disappeared completely, it shot off at an estimated speed of 50 miles per hour, leaving me stunned and questioning what I had just witnessed.
This encounter left an undeniable impression—a glimpse into the unknown that stirs the imagination of any UFO enthusiast. The silent, disk-shaped figure with its shimmering belt defies conventional explanations, making it a memorable apparition in the Texan skies.
