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.
Thanks, will add you to the UFO PING LIST.
ACTUALLY, YOU ARE ALREADY ON MY LIST AND I THINK ALREADY ON DAVE’S. THANKS FOR ASKING, THOUGH.

Thanks for your kind words and encouragements.
NO sweat. I don’t expect everyone to comment frequently.
If a differing 5% did, it would be wonderful.
Thanks tons.
Bless you in all your endeavors.
And—avoid any lofty rides from such critters!
LOL, I don't have time for being outside and risking that... work all day, tend to kids all night. I used to have a life :o)
Guess what.
Kids are a life.
Welllll they are sure a major chunk of life.
Thankfully, they are worth it.
Of course, one has to start at age 0 training them to be worth it! They sure have the potential to be worth it!
Anyway—take care of yourself else you won’t be able to take care of the loved ones! LOL.
That's what keeps me going. Thanks!
GR, here’s an interestin tidbit you might enjoy—from one of our own:
##
As I said, when I was about 10 years old I, and several others, witnessed 4 glowing craft flying back and forth across the Cincinnati sky. As well as glowing, they were emitting what I can only describe as sparks coming out of the rear of each craft.
A couple hours after this incident the nightly local newscast reported that many people had witnessed this but not to worry, it was only military jets and the sparks were caused by the fact they were refueling.
Even at the age of 10 I knew that
1. planes/jets do not glow and
2. they are not permitted to refuel over cities (to say nothing of the sparks).
This episode occurred in approx. 1964 or 1965.
God’s best to you and all those you love.

SOME INTERESTING VOTING FACTS FROM BEHIND THE SCENES
http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread338174/pg1

Some intersting voting facts from behind the scene’s
With voting in the primaries coming up in my state, I thought I would volunteer to be a polling worker, and my wife agreed she wanted to as well. We were chosen and went to fill out the paperwork, and my wife became a voting judge, and so got an extra $10 with some extra responsibility. Besides the fact that we were the only two people that were even half competent in our county, we were also two of the only english speaking. We live in an overwhelmingly white county, with a large pocket of blacks in one particular metro region, so they must have shipped in foreigners to do this, as i cant believe they were all randomly chosen, as was said.
However, there was a man “teaching” the voting class who said he was sick of lying, and let slip some statistics no one is suppose to know. In my county alone, MY COUNTY, 100,000 dead people voted, and it counted. They know they were dead, some dead for more then 100 years. It counted in the election of 2004, and 2002, and in 2000, and they always vote republican. In my county alone over 4000 votes were thrown out do to worker error. 4000! Again in my county alone 15,000 votes were deleted and not counted due to a computer virus installed on the voting machine. My county has according to 2000 statistics 1.3 Million people of all ages. If half our under 18, that leaves 650,000. If we take out felons, that leaves 600,000. If we assume half wont vote, which is way under the average of non voters nationally, that leaves 300,000. 100,000 votes that shouldn’t count is a lot, it could completely sway an election, and is completely outrageous.
These facts are also completely unreported, and he said they are unreported EVERY ELECTION. He has been working as an election county official for over 20 years. Thats too many elections to be fraudulent. I have no links to the privately said numbers obviously, and no one would be allowed to report it anyway, so its irrelevant, just thought the community might like to know.
I had to edit my paragraphs.

A 10:55 long “youtube” video of the JAL 747 incident in the ‘80’s.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3MQ1LtD_Sxg
Fascinating video. Thanks.
I know there is one out there for the UFO shapes as well but forgot what site had it.
Thanks for the video link.
Much appreciated.
LOL.
Thanks. I may have seen the house on a TV show once.
Appreciate the link.
Wild. Thanks.
Am just finishing NEED TO KNOW, UFOs, the Military and Intelligence, by Timothy Good.
Fascinating to say the least.
Keep up the good work and please add me to any ping list on this subject.
Thanks, and God bless you Quix.
After I finish some long needed house maintenance, I’ll settle into the den and read your ATS post.
Thanks much for your kind words and encouragements. Much appreciated.
You have been added
DCPatriot;
to the UFO PING LIST master list and Las Vegas Dave will add you to the backup.
Thanks for asking.
If you have any interesting observations or experiences to share of your own or those you know well, please feel free . . . you can also channel them through Dave and I anonymously.
Have a blessed Sunday and week.
Whatever fits your priorities.
It’s most welcome, however, to have folks step up to the plate and keep the topic in on the surface of FR. I realize it’s not a popular topic in terms of folks overtly owning it as worthy interest and honest exploration and discussion.
However, it will come to play an overwhelmingly important role in our era. And I think it’s the duty of those of us who KNOW there’s SOMETHING going on to be an early alert warning system . . . particularly for Christians and Conservative patriots.
Because the critters and the globalists are going to be on he OTHER side. And many unthinking, unaware Conservatives and luke warm “Christians” are going to fall for the GREAT DECEPTION the Bible speaks of for our era.
In short, I greatly appreciate your interest and speaking up boldly.
Have a blessed Sunday and week.
