Was the Stephenville UFO a National Security Threat? american chronicle Franklin D. Fields, Jr. Esq. Stephenville, Texas attracted worldwide attention earlier this year (Jan, 08) after residents sighted an unidentified flying object (UFO) that some say was a mile long. By news accounts, there were more than 30 residents to specifically report the sighting. It was front-page headlines in a large number of news forums. Many of the witnesses were interviewed on national television programs such as CNN´s Larry King Live.
All of the witnesses were credible and none were shown to be perpetrating a hoax. They might have been mistaken, but that seems unlikely since so many people saw the same object. Also, other evidence is available to corroborate their story. There was obviously something flying over Stephenville that might be a national security threat. Why will our government not take this incident seriously?
Steve Allen, a 50-year-old pilot, said that the object was "a mile long and half a mile wide" and that "I don't know if it was a biblical experience or somebody from a different universe or whatever but it was definitely not from around these parts." There is no disputing that Mr. Allen is a credible witness who saw a strange craft and then reported it to authorities. The U.S. Air Force was made aware of the sighting, the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) knows about it and even Homeland Security was contacted. However, no official Federal Government Agency has looked into the matter or conducted an official investigation, why not?

Jr. Esq.?
After all these years, please give me something more than eyewitness testimony, please...

I was always taught that Esquire was an honorific, and it was bad etiquette to refer to oneself as such.
I defy anyone to accurately gauge size, altitude and speed of any object in the sky. Size is relative to a known.
An object 5 feet long subtends a different arc size depending on the distance away from the viewer.\
Law Encyclopedia: Esq.
This entry contains information applicable to United States law only.
An abbreviation for esquire, which is a title used by attorneys in the United States. The term esquire has a different meaning in English law. It is used to signify a title of dignity, which ranks above gentleman and directly below knight.
In the United States, Esq. is written after a lawyer’s name, for example: John Smith, Esq.
I’m not a UFO fan, but this is an interesting report. The MUFON report (warning, it’s a large pdf file) is also interesting. It’s worth reading at least the initial summary.
Inconclusive, as usual. But it looks as if several sorties of jet fighters, were sent out to have a look at it. And there are several military and/or LEO witnesses.
More than 30 people saw this thing and not one of them had their cell phone with them to snap a pic?
Funny how these damned thing always show up when NOBODY has a camera or a cell phone with a camera.
Otherwise I have no doubt this would be a very impressive story.
Named after his dad, then sullied the name by becoming a lawyer.
so writing esquire after one’s name would be like me signing my name “Mr KMS61.”
I heard it was the Kinky Friedman Campaign Dirigible.
The Radiation Story
The idea for gathering together a group of scientists, to whom we referred as our “panel of experts,” had been conceived early in 1952 - as soon as serious talk about the possibility that the UFO’s might be interplanetary

Police radar has been known to track speeding trees also.
It was probably a secret US aircraft.There is a naval air station in FW that has flight paths directly over Stephenville...Lockhead Martin tests aircraft from that field and is right next door to the NAS. There are other defense contractors all throughout the region.
Nothing to lose sleep over.
