Despite ridicule, more people are reporting UFO sightings

Would you laugh if I said I had seen a UFO?

A pilot, county constable and business owners were listed as the witnesses for the recent UFO sighting in Stephenville. These credible, upstanding people reported seeing a large silent object with bright lights flying low and fast. The size has been estimated as a mile long and half-a-mile wide.

When you report something like that, people are going to talk.

Despite a geometric rise in digital cameras and camera cell phones UFO photos remain scarce.

From what I've read, this is a really good case. Tons of witnesses and a truly massive aircraft -- which we'd better hope is ours! :-)

I agree with what you said. Interestingly, I recently saw what I think was a UFO. I was looking at the sky through binoculars for the first time, maybe in my whole life (there was a light high up in the sky that I’d noticed for ages each night when I walked my dog, so one night when we got back I hunted around for binoculars to finally satisfy my curiosity) and what I saw instead was some kind of sky vehicle whipping around in the air. I watched it move around the sky for about five minutes before it whizzed out of sight. I didn’t think of getting a camera couldn’t have taken a picture of it at that distance anyway.

So, who knows?

Everything's bigger in TX.

I need a UFO. I hate waiting at red lights.

I would never assume that someone who reported seeing a UFO was nuts, or even the victim of an optical illusion. I have met some thoughtful, astute, educated, self-controlled people who say they have seen such craft. One of my closest friends, a person whose reason and whose knowledge of the atmosphere is beyond question, is one of thousands of people who saw UFOs in New York State in the late 1980s.

But this does not mean I think they saw the ships of little gray guys. It’s more likely that they saw experimental military craft. Perhaps the apparent military secrecy about the sightings supports this idea.

Comments are welcome.

Unusual cloud formation most likely.

I live where these UFO’s are being reported. Last Saturday there were over 200 people with reports of sightings that came to the meeting held by MUFON. MUFON only brought 50 forms, so will be back in a month due to high interest. I think these people saw SOMETHING. What, I don’t know.

No other intelligent being is going to land on a planet where the inhabitants spend more time aiming weapons at each other.
