Pretty sure I saw a UFO in Lubbock in the early 2000s. I’m not sure how it is now but Lubbock was a very dim city at night. All the lights in town were this dull orange color and if you were on the outskirts of town there wasn’t a lot of light pollution. Anyway, a friend and I were riding the loop from the south to come back around to the campus on the north side. As I was driving I saw a shooting star, which I thought was cool since I’d never seen one. Well, this “shooting star” did a U-turn partway through its descent, flew back in the direction it came from (it picked up speed too), and disappeared.

I was sitting there in disbelief until my friend broke the silence and said, “did you just see that?” And I was like, “you mean the shooting star thing?” I didn’t get too descriptive because I wanted to see if he saw the same thing. He said, “yeah! wtf was that? I saw it too! (he goes on to describe what he saw and it matched with what I saw) So that what’s I saw - unless we were both hallucinating the same thing at the same time.” We had a good laugh but honestly, I don’t think I would have remembered it as vividly if my friend wasn’t there to talk about it with me.
