FORT WORTH — So much for aliens in Texas dairy country.
At least that's what the military said today, reporting that 10 F-16 fighter jets were training in the Stephenville area the night dozens of residents reported seeing a UFO.
Although Air Force Reserve officials at the Joint Reserve Base Naval Air Station in Fort Worth initially said none of their planes were in the area Jan. 8, they said today that they had made a mistake and wanted to set the record straight "in the interest of public awareness."
Some residents aren't buying it, though, saying the military's revelation actually bolsters their claims because several reported seeing at least two fighter jets chasing an object.
"This supports our story that there was UFO activity in that area," said Kenneth Cherry, the Texas director of the Mutual UFO Network, which took more than 50 reports from locals at a meeting last weekend. "I find it curious that it took them two weeks to 'fess up. I think they're feeling the heat from the publicity."
From well-respected business owners to a county constable, several dozen people swear that what they saw was larger, quieter, faster and lower to the ground than an airplane. They also said the object's lights changed configuration, unlike those of a plane.
"I guarantee that what we saw was not a civilian aircraft," Steve Allen, a pilot and freight company owner, said today.
Allen said that the planes' training area in the Brownwood Military Operating Area that includes Stephenville's Erath County does not include the airspace where he saw the object. Also, Jan. 8 was not the only day sightings were reported.
Anne Frazor, who owns a fabric store in Stephenville, about 70 miles southwest of Fort Worth, said many in town have seen military aircraft zoom overhead from time to time as part of training operations. But she said that is different than what she saw Jan. 8.
"I couldn't begin to say what it was, but to me it wasn't planes," Frazor said.
Since the reported sightings two weeks ago, the 17,000-resident town has had some fun with the international publicity. Some high-schoolers made T-shirts that read "Stephenville: the new Roswell" on the front and "They're here for the milk!" on the back. A picture features flying saucer beaming up a cow.
This week Tarleton State University is even hosting a lecture by a UFO researcher on the U.S. government's secret response to UFOs, based on previously classified documents obtained under the Freedom of Information Act.
The U.S. Air Force says it has not investigated UFO sightings since 1969 when it ended Project Blue Book, which examined more than 12,600 reported UFO sightings — including 700 that were never explained. That program started a few months after the 1947 crash near Roswell, N.M., which the government said it was a top-secret weather balloon but others involved later said was an alien spacecraft.
"What we want is the government to admit there are UFOs and what they know about them," Cherry said.
I don’t know for sure,..I do know the particular area where the Sea of Cortez approaches the US along an extension of the Salton Sea has for centuries been the sink of the Colorado River with hundreds of feet of silt deposited there. I suspect seismic transmissions in that area might be absorbed considerably, leaving calculations of source events to be much more complex to verify. The epicenter was noted to much deeper than many other events in that region, but still relatively shallow from a global perspective.
FWIW, the patterns in seismicity I had seen in vivid dreams back circa Apr2001 are now beginning to take shape, namely events near Mt Lassen and a no man’s land to be formed between the county containing Walla Walla WA, extending to form a triangular section with the AZ-Mex border as its base. Maybe not prophetic, but simply spiritually significant.
Your post reminded me of this prophecy I read recently from:

Dear Friends, Intercessors and Zion Aligned:
I hope each of you received the 8-Day Prayer Focus on A Time to Evaluate the END of One Season and the New Beginning of the NEXT. Each days focus will assist you in entering into a new place with the Lord, or going beyond the place you have been halted or stopped in the past.
I hear the Lord saying: I'm shining your shoes with My Word and My Spirit. I'm causing your feet to be filled with the light of My Spirit. I'm creating a peace within you that causes light to shine out of your feet, and you will see your new path.
Come back to your Source, for the sources of the earth are beginning to shake. Come back to your Source! Consider Me now. Consider Me FIRST when you are facing off that disease. It was Me that originated your body. Consider Me and how I want to rearrange the cell structure that is moving in decay. Consider Me FIRST when I want to purify your blood. I created the land, so consider Me FIRST when I begin to rearrange the land. It is not your political opinion that will change the course of the earth, but MY will being acted on FIRST.
I AM striking the earth with the sound of Heaven. Lightnings are coming into the earth and I AM extending a new call of intercession to My people. I must have a people who rise up and seek Me, and consider Me FIRST even in their praying. The religious structures of the past cannot contain the revelation that I am striking the earth with now. MY striking hand has been released. I will strike into China and it will shake. You will see Japan shake. There is a deep shaking going on. This is not a surface shaking beginning at this time, but a deep shaking. Only those who can stand and surf the land will stand! The land will shake like a wave. Alaska will shake. I must shake and rearrange Central America or there will be a path of communism that connects the earth. It is not the communism that you have known in the past but a new, political wave of destruction that now is forming and aligning from territory to territory. I must rearrange paths. Consider Me FIRST. I rule the heavens. I name the stars. I direct the sun.
He has chosen us to stand in the midst of all the shakings ahead and take dominion. You have been given a crown of favor to wear. Wear that crown and take dominion in the earth! (Psalm 8)
Praise God for His faithfulness.
Could you elaborate more about:
and a no mans land to be formed between the county containing Walla Walla WA, extending to form a triangular section with the AZ-Mex border as its base. Maybe not prophetic, but simply spiritually significant.
I think your dreams/visions on such scores ARE prophetic.
“Wait.....does an F-16 look like a UFO? What does the Air Force say a UFO is supposed to look like?”
The Air Force is using the new “hovering F-16’s” with the special multicolored flare pods. :)
Google: Cash UFO Huffman
One of the most highly noted UFO incidents.
Perhaps your friend has more details you could share with us.
Thanks for the ping!
Please conisder this article on the purported President Reagan briefing on such goings on:

Ah welllll
You may as well be a bonafide member of the ‘UFO FREAQUES” club.
When the stuff is more overtly outted in the daily CNN news, you can then be considered an informed, wise, old-timer.
That looks to be months away now, instead of years. But who knows. We’ve all thought so many times in the past.
However, the quality of the sightings and the quality of the “released” truth/disinfo packages has increased markedly in the last 12 months.
SOMETHING is definitely up.
Besides, it may well be that pseudonyms were used for some family members.
I suspect that if she asked around in her social and related network . . . she’d turn up something eventually.
Time will tell.
Thanks, will check it out.
Thank you Free Republic!
gnip...
Uhhhhhhhhhh,
being on the . . . uhhhh
edge . . .
of the Oral Office . . .
could have been very hazardous, indeed.
Especially if one liked to take walks in parks.
Evidently you have not examined enough of the data.
Flares were later in the evening—and evidently a stupid disinformation ploy on the part of the military.
A common error.
BTW,
TYPE II ERRORS bite just as hard and deadly as TYPE I ERRORS.
