It seems that drones have become a regular sight in Houston’s skies. Many residents are reporting sightings and sharing footage, prompting curiosity and concern about being observed by unidentified sources.

Last week, after our article was published, numerous readers reached out, eager to share their experiences. One such individual, Christine Pinell, reported seeing a drone while driving home on FM 529 with her daughter-in-law.

Another sighting was documented in the Bellaire area by Carrie Bivins. Her brother-in-law captured footage of a drone with unusually bright green lights, deviating from the typical red and green.


In Cypress, Texas, Raymond shared a compelling video he recorded last night. He described witnessing a rotating octagon of lights, reminiscent of a sighting in New Jersey. The drone moved steadily; slower than the planes he often observes from his backyard and emitted no sound.


While the cause of these sightings remains uncertain, the Federal Aviation Administration has issued a statement, suggesting that what appear to be drones might actually be regular airplane lights.


Will we soon uncover the truth behind these mysterious, vibrant lights in our skies? With continued research, we hope to find answers. To learn more about FAA go to www.faa.gov.
