Weird News: UFO Spotted Over Small Texas Town
I’m sure you’ve all heard the news reports that dozens of people in Stephenville, Texas, including a pilot, county constable, and business owners, saw what they said was a UFO. They described the object as “larger, quieter, faster, and lower to the ground than an airplane.”
At first, Air Force officials said that residents may have seen an illusion caused by two commercial airplanes and reflections from the setting sun. Now they’re saying that fighter jets were training in the area during the time of the sitings. Residents disagree, saying what they saw was definitely not airplanes.
What do you believe? Do you believe in UFOs? Is the government covering up their knowledge of UFOs?
Personally, I don’t believe in them. Why didn’t any of these dozens of people take a picture or video of what they were seeing? I mean, come on, almost everyone has a camera on their cell phones these days, and not one picture? I guess I’m a person that needs evidence. And all the so-called UFO experts you see on TV seem like wackos to me.
On a side note, my Grandma swears that she saw a UFO in her backyard long ago. She was lying on the couch listening to the CB radio (funny!) and heard two truck drivers talking about spotting a strange light in the sky and trying to figure out what it was. My Grandma decided to go out in the backyard and see if she could see anything. She looked up in the sky and saw what she swears was a saucer-shaped UFO. My Grandpa was already in bed and she didn’t bother to wake him up and tell him about it. Do I believe her story? No, I think she must’ve been hitting the bottle that night or something.
Last side note: Thank God for cable tv, Tivo, and the internet. There weren’t too many choices for entertainment back in the 60’s if you’re spending the evening listening to the ol’ CB!

I did hear about these reports which are numerous in this particular town. I guess using the strict definition of the term U - F - O keeps us from getting a little crazy. It would be nice to make an identification, and I’m not big on conspiracy theories…..loved Will Smith in Independence Day however.
It may prove to be better than the Air Force is doing an about-face on this one. Now, they will be caught in the lie.
Trouble is, UFO citings will continue throughout 2008, just as they have for decades. There will soon be more video, more mass citings, and it will be harder to cover up the truth. Heck, there was one over O’Hare in November 2006. They are slowly but surely making their presence known.
This is actually my hometown in Texas, and I know a few of the folks who reported the happenings. They are reasonable and honest people. I believe that they saw what they say they saw.
Nick: I’m not big on conspiracy theories either. It’s just weird that the UFO sightings are almost always over small towns.
Brian: You appear to be a believer. I’m still skeptical. It just seems amazing, in these days of YouTube and everyone having cameras with them at all times that we never see any definitive evidence.
Jeff: Wow, small world. I really believe that the people that reported the sightings really believe that they saw something not of this world. I just think it’s either some type of illusion or some advanced technology the government is working on. I once saw a stealth fighter fly over my house and if I hadn’t already seen pictures and video of it beforehand I would’ve definitely thought it was a UFO.
We see a small share of those things over in Oz too, reports of “lights” and also of a woman being abducted and brought from the Western States to the Eastern States quite literally (from Today Tonight) and also of a Perth man who is convinced that the things have been following him around since childhood have been reported.
VS: Thanks for the Oz perspective. Do you believe???
