UFO STALLS CAR NEAR SARGENT, TEXAS
On Tuesday, July 5, 2005, at 8:50 p.m., eyewitness M.R. reported, “I was coming home from a fishing trip in Sargent, Texas. I had just turned off FM587 on to FM2611 when, all of a sudden, the lights in my car blinked twice, and then the car went dead.”
“I coasted to a stop at the top of a small hill that was a curve. I was frightened. For one, I am female and was traveling alone, and I was in the middle of nowhere. I thought that the reason for the power giving out in my car was because my brother had been using my car battery earlier in the day and may not have tightened the battery cables properly.”
“I didn’t have a flashlight (torch in UK–J.T.) on me and I grabbed my cell phone to let someone know what had happened. Then I decided to get out of the car, knowing that my cell phone had a bright light on it, and I was going to check the battery cables.”
“Before I could open my cell phone to turn it on, a bright bluish glow started to light up a wooded area across the highway from me. At first I thought it was another vehicle coming up behind me, and I panicked for a moment because my car had stopped on top of the hill on a curve, and, if the vehicle was coming up the curve too fast, it would hit me.”
“But I realized quickly that it was not another vehicle. I couldn’t quite identify the light, but the woods got suddenly brighter. The light went bright like a blue-white light bulb. It was more like the light from a giant blue flashlight or helicopter (search) light.”
“I watched it slowly start moving upward through the trees. I sat in complete silence while I watched it move up out of the trees until it was above the trees and clearly in the sky with the stars for a background. It was a huge bluish translucent ball of light, with the center of the ball much darker than the outer edges.”
“The outer edges of the ball seemed to vibrate or tremble slightly. It continuously rose up into the sky, at first slowly, but, the higher it got, the faster it went. Which was straight up into the sky until it disappeared.”
“I sat in the silent darkness for a few seconds and then turned my car keys, which I had never taken out of the ignition switch, and the car started right up.”
The UFO “was about 30 to 40 feet (9 to 12 meters) up. It was huge, maybe 30 to 40 feet (9 to 12 meters) across, but I could be mistaken. It was much larger than my car– a Volvo DL wagon. I resumed my drive to Sweeny, Texas.”
Sargent is in Matagorda County, on Texas’s Gulf of Mexico shore about 40 miles (64 kilometers) southwest of Galveston. (Email Form Report)

I just found this sight and under review I read your report. I was in Sargent prior to your incident (1998) and stayed with friends there for a 3 day weekend. I was out on the back porch as a guest looking into the broken clouds of a full moon night around 10pm. I saw a red disc above the clouds and watched between scattered clouds. I could not turn to call for my friends as I was afraid I’d lose track. It was there perhaps 2 min. and then it shot away at a tremendous speed. It’s the only one I’ve ever seen! My friends told me that there are sightings there in Sargent often. Good Luck!

There isn’t a FM 587 off of FM 2611, so could you look at a map again and try to figure out where you where when the witness saw the blue light. FM 587 is in De Leon, TX about 330 miles NW of Sargent. Thanks.
