It's easy to quickly dismiss reports of alien life, like when Cleveland Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield and his wife said they saw a "bright ball of light" over Lake Travis earlier this year. However, Texans might be walking among other planetary life, according to a report from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence.

What Mayfield truly saw that night is unclear. Nearly all reports of unidentified aerial phenomena, or UAPs, similar to what the football star saw, remain unexplained. There have been multiple reported sightings in Austin this year and what better place for some extraterrestrials than the city of weird?

On Feb. 21, an Austin family reported seeing a "flame-like" structure that hovered and rotated before disappearing and a May 8 report recounted someone seeing a yellow-green oval-shaped orb.

Due to a limited amount of "high-quality reporting" on UAPs, the UAP task force has been unable to come to a firm conclusion on the nature of such reported unidentified flying objects. The office studied 144 reports spotted by U.S. government sources from 2004-2021, the majority from the last two years, and said all but one are currently unexplainable.

But that doesn't mean you need to put on your tinfoil hat just yet.

It's likely that these phenomena lack a single explanation. Some patterns have been documented: unusual flying patterns, seemingly advanced technology and similar descriptions on size and shape, but the organization provided a few possible explanations:

So if you see something that doesn't appear Earthly, get it on camera and maybe share it with Mayfield to compare notes. There's a chance you just glimpsed into outer space.

We want to hear from you!
