In a video clip, a seemingly oblong arrangement of greenish-white lights can be seen in the evening sky.

In recent weeks, there have been a number of "strange" sightings around the Lone Star State, including what some were calling a chupacabra and the City of Amarillo describing as an "Unidentified Amarillo Object" near the area zoo. Last week, heading into the Labor Day weekend, a news report detailed a "mysterious" aerial sighting caught on camera in the Round Rock-area near Austin.

Video shared with Fox 7 Austin shows a hazy series of lights in the evening sky near Brushy Creek. In the clip, a seemingly oblong arrangement of greenish-white lights can be seen in the sky. The report also includes social media posts with footage of the unidentified object. The Twitter footage was uploaded by Chris Walker, listed as the assistant news director for Fox 7 Austin in their page bio.

Explanations related to the sighting range from potential unidentified flying objects to much less exotic explanations such as Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) a la drones. 

In an interview with Fox 7 Austin, Gene Robinson, who reviewed the footage and is described as a "drone expert" responsible for training drone pilots and flies several types of UAV platforms, said there's "nothing extraterrestrial involved" with this particular sighting. 

"My initial take on this is that it is very likely a drone based phenomena," Robinson told Fox.

The full report and video related to the aerial sighting are available on Fox 7 Austin.
