I saw a bright red ball moving silently and steadily across the sky one night. I found out later that it was in fact a ship from outer space: a Russian satellite that had reentered the atmosphere and crashed in Montana. It sure had me going for a while, though. Afterward I was just laughed at for claiming to have seen a UFO.
Theory has it there are more stars in the Universe then there are grains of sand on every beach on this Planet. Assuming at least some of the stars have planets the number possible locations for sentient life forms is unimaginable.
To unquestioningly believe we are the sole inhabitants of the universe is hubris beyond comprehension.

Perhaps Dennis Kucinich is withdrawing from the race and they’re here to pick him up (the human race, that is).
On earth there are estimated between 1.5 and 1.8 million species. Only one of which has developed the ability to use radio or space travel and then only for about 100 years of there existence. If we assume that there are millions of other planets in our galaxy with the same or similar conditions then the likelihood of encountering another species with intelligence like our own approaches non-existence. It just ain’t gonna happen.
I’ll guess and say it’s a Skunk Works type project.
Thanks.
This seems to be unfolding as I expected it would.
I felt this was a very good case . . . likely a very deliberate exposure on the part of whatever powers that be were in control of the craft and that a wealth of personal accounts would surface over the following weeks.
Whether the craft was one of ‘theirs’ or ‘ours’ remains to be seen. Or, it could have been jointly manned.
I haven’t read yet or have forgotten . . . was it seen to disappear and/or travel at incredible speed?
There are, evidently, also very large blimps. But there are even larger UFO craft . . . real MOTHER SHIPS, in the vernacular.
It is amusing to hear young people on TV discussing their miracle diet, and to hear young people talk about how they have never seen the river so high.
My personal favorite regarding Fermi’s Paradox is that if there are civilizations out there, not only do they not want to be contacted, they can’t understand why any other civilization would.
Nice guys don’t get to be top dog. Any species that manages to climb it’s way to the top of a planet’s food change and then develop a technological civilization capable of space travel is going to be aggressive, smart and potentially hostile.
That being the case, the intelligent thing to do would be listen and see if you could spot them, but do everything you could to keep them from spotting you.
I’m lookin’ at this slightly differently from most, I guess, being a native Texan and having spent a lifetime traveling the state.
I just find it a bit un-UFO-like that this “craft” or whatever it was picks between Dublin and Stephenville, TX to show itself so plainly. I know, I know, a guy who was traveling on I-20 in a different location but within the general area also saw something that sounds like the same thing, nevertheless...
Of all places, why THAT one. Why not upstate NY or well, you name it, any other place. That area has a few people but not that many, and it’s a place the vast majority of people everywhere have never even heard of. Myself, lots of times I’ve shopped in Stephenville and eaten DQ in both places and it’s just small town Texas SW of the Metroplex.
This might not compute with some of you, after all, UFOs have to be SOMEWHERE, why not there??
I just have a hard time figuring why they picked that area, that’s all.
I guess I’m not sold it was some kind of phenomenon but rather possibly an experimental craft that belongs to US, the good guys...in which case that area might make sense if we knew where its point of origin was...
