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.
VERY CLEAR video of typically shaped UFO evidently near houses . . . birds flying across frame etc.

Thanks.
Will see if it’s watchable online.
It might be on youtube. I saw references to at least segments of it when I googled.
Found it. Thanks.
Watching segment, two, now.
I saw most of it, it was interesting, but not conclusive, (IMO).
Yah, I wasn’t too impressed. I found it scattered and not well produced. They should have focused on what they found relevant, and ignored the rest, but that would have only filled a half hour. All the BS at the college was way overdone. That could have been stated in a minute. Dunno.
I do know what a Falcon sounds like, and a lot of these folks saw something that made no sound. F-16’s scream. I live just south of an AFB that conducts bomb tests. Nope, you don’t even see the landing lights and even at 30,000 feet, the distinctive scream of those engines is not something you’d confuse, with anything.
Sad there were no folks with a good Nikon and good glass on the front to throw into the analysis. Too much time spent on the camcorder altogether. I gave the whole segment no credence myself.
OTOH, I’ve caught ‘things’ flittering through the clouds at 50k ft with a 500 mm lens, and at 300x, they’re just round dots.... but perhaps the interesting thing is that they’re round.
I pray we don’t have absolutely conclusive for a long time.
Because with that will come incredibly increased absolute tyranny—in the name of PEACE, and the world religion of peace, of course . . . and for ‘the children.’
Though not the children of “useless eaters,” of course . . . unless raised totally by THE STATE.
Good [ruthless] analysis. LOL.
I guess I’m a generous wuss.
But then, I have no doubts about the existence of such craft.
Thanks!
Oh, I have no doubts. I just wasn’t impressed with the particular production. You and I could have presented the same information better.
At least fascinating and worth some prayerful pondering.
Thanks.
I wouldn’t doubt that.
I have wondered watching some such . . . are the puppet masters carefully metering out anything meaty . . . and deliberately forcing lots of fluff amidst the more interesting puzzle pieces? . . . stalling . . . as long as . . . what . . . they can get away with or while they consolidate preparations in other areas or ???
The supporters of the left are global capitalists. The biggest enviros hold the most oil company stock. Don't pay attention to that man behind the Wall Street brokerage. That man is a Marxist.
As to hollywood complicity, I suppose the next question is: were x-files just a balloon sent up to guage the feasability of the mission? ... to break the news softly... or (my vote) to confuse the issue even more.
to break the news softly... or (my vote) to confuse the issue even more.
= = =
I think BOTH those are extant . . . apply . . . are aspects of their complex goals.
Thx.

Nick Cook is doing a 2 hour program on History International Channel called “An Alien History of Planet Earth” on now. I’ll post back in a bit as to whether it’ll be shown again, and on any other channels.
The program will be shown again from 12-2am ET, tonight.
