This is the second cigar-shaped report from Texas in a two-day period. We recently covered a similar shape UFO in the story: Illuminated cigar UFO reported over Texas - a sighting that occurred one day later, on April 6, 2011. In the first case, the witness was able to provide an image of the object, although no town name was mentioned in the public portion of the MUFON report.

"It seemed to be moving to moving parallel to the highway, and as I turned left onto Spring Cypress Road," the witness stated. "The object stopped, then hovered over the freeway, sort of in the upper horizon behind it."

The witness lost sight of the object while driving under the freeway.

"It was gone and nowhere to be found."

Cypress is an unincorporated area in Harris County, located inside the city of Houston, along US 290.The area ranks 50th in the top 100-income areas in the U.S. No images or videos were included with the MUFON report.
