Military now says planes flying in area of UFO reports (Stephenville "UFO")
Houston Chronicle ^

Posted on 01/24/2008 8:40:09 AM PST by mnehring

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.

Evidently we have had even some pretty large craft of our own for quite some decades.

However, we didn’t originate the technologies.

. . . according to my reliable relative.

A lot of sources assert that such planes have

DUAL PROPULSION SYSTEMS, INCLUDING antigravity.

SOMEHOW fighters chasing a blimp doesn’t quite fit.

I wouldn’t doubt that we have such large blimps.

But I’m also convinced we have large antigrave craft and are in cahoots with critters with much larger antigrav craft.

I remember seeing a really fast moving object in the sky in Salinas, CA one evening back in around 1988 that was moving I would guess at maybe 5,000mph and possibly about 50,000ft. up and left a series of “puffs” in its contrail, I think it was the Aurora back then, even now the military refuses to say it exists but of course it has to be because its Made in USA.

Someone else suggested that what I saw was the Aurora (BTW, it's been pretty much had its cover blown -- turns out there was a black budget line item for it that "oopsed" its way out of The Blackness -- and the "donuts on a rope" contrail is a classic sign of its pulse engine). I did some research on it, and found that the Aurora is a FAST plane -- much faster than the SR71 (originally the "RS71, until LBJ flubbed his lines, and rather than embarrass him by correcting him, they just changed the name of the plane to match his goof). (And, strangely, the killed the SR71 right around the time the Aurora began. Made little sense for them to kill the SR71 with no replacement ready to deploy, yet, that was the official story.)

Anyway, the Aurora is a FAST plane, not a "floats at 5MPH" plane (without engine or noise). So, after doing some research, I discounted that explanation.

I do think that what I saw (see my previous post for description) was some kind of black project -- most likely using some kind of electrostatic drive, maybe nuclear powered -- but I cannot figure out why they've kept the wraps on it for so long, unless it IS nuke-powered and they don't want to deal with the grief that such a disclosure would provoke.

Whatever it was, it was VERY impressive to watch. Never saw anything like it before -- or since (although I do keep an eye towards the sky when outdoors now!)

Frankly, I wish they would own up to it, because I think it would provide an incredible deterrent to our various adversaries. No one in his right mind (and nearly no one NOT in his right mind) would want to screw with a nation capable of producing something like that!

It’s also quite possible that the craft generated no sound to be heard, even at close range. We have such technologies.

He said that it completely filled his field of vision and completely blocked out the sky...made no sound and took off at a terrific speed at an unnatural angle...in a blink of an eye.

NOT blimp behavior!

UFO or not, the way they handled this doesn’t inspire a whole lot of confidence.

= = =

To say the least. But, they’ve been idiot fall guys in the UFO disinformation business for a long time.

It’s the Navy that’s on top of things and deep into the whole mess beyond periscope depth.

I think quite a number of your assumptions are flawed.

we have been having a lot of terrestrial interference on our C-band satellite not just at my site but other sites as well in a line from Wichita Falls down to Del Rio (I work for the CATV CO) the interference starts at 1.9 GHZ there is a carrier in the band that is 15Db higher than the satellite signals.

Maybe sun-related? Are you familiar with the current angst over the waiting for the next sunspot cycle to begin? It's way overdue, and there's mucho speculation that we may be heading into a new "Maunder Minimum."

"Global cooling," anyone?

(If you really want to lose some sleep -- and, do so while reading some really good fiction -- try "Fallen Angels," by Larry Niven, Jerry Pournelle and Michael Flynn.)

(BTW that URL will take you to the actual book, not some "buy it" link. Baen has put the entire book online, for free, as part of their free library. It's completely legal -- they're promoting these books with the permission of the authors. You can read them online, or, download them in a variety of formats.)

Does anything in the government inspire confidence?


I’m confident that the puppet master shadow government has trashed our Constitution decades ago . . . and is scr*wing with the citizens worse than Shrillery with Human and Bill with Monica a thousand different ways plus some . . . toward selling us down the river to a tyrannical globalist cabal, oligarchy.

Check out:

. . . their slide show or DVD . . . The producer, author has documented every second of data on his film. Said it was available free for downloading for nonprofit educational purposes but I haven’t worked out how to accomplish that yet. But a lot can be watched on his site or from links on his site.

His presentation several nights ago on C2C was congruent with stuff I’ve studied since 1965.

The “ET’s” will insure that evolution bites the dust in favor of panspermia or deliberate ET seeding of life . . . which will also be a hoax but become the new politically correct belief to force down students’ throats . . . as well as the public’s.

However, whether reptilian or big and furry . . . the bipedal, two armed, one headed form seems to be the most common form by far of the what . . . 70+ “ET” “races” dinking around with our sphere.

Interesting screen name. My relative who worked around UFO’s . . . his dad was called unk from uncle by most relatives.

anyway-—

Dr. Carol Rosin asserted quite some time ago, IIRC, and certainly on DISCLOSURE PROJECT DVD’s and is cited in Stephen Greer’s first tome . . . as quoting Werner von Braun saying in

1974

that the oligarchy/puppetmasters/NWO cabal

had scheduled

1. a war on terror to be followed by
2. a war on Iraq . . . to be followed by
3. a war in space with “ET.”

I’ve been convinced since about 1962 or so that such would be involved toward coercing the world’s citizens into a tryannical global government the Bible decribes in Revenlation and the New Testament mentions will involved the greatest DECEPTION ever—so great a deception that IF it were possible, [evidently not because of God protecting same] the very elect would be deceived.

I believe that the last 12 months has seen a measured racheting up of UFO phenomena toward such a ‘war’ that will be a staged thing involving the planning of the “ET’s” as well as the planning of the satanic oligarchy.

The retiring head of Lockeed Skunk works declared quite seriously

IF YOU CAN IMAGINE IT, WE CAN ALREADY DO IT.

And he said at other times that we are AT LEAST 50 YEARS ahead of everyone else.

I don’t doubt a word of your reporting.

I think the guy was likely right about perhaps that particular craft not being ours. But we have our own fleets of such craft . . .

Relative said we were taught how to build them by ET’s.

whatever “ET’s” are.

There is a hilarious book with that premise. In "The Little Green Men" there is a secret government agency that kidnaps people and makes them think they were kidnapped by aliens. The point of that exercise escapes me right now but it is a funny book.

Some have contended it’s environmental pollution/nuclear/ etc. etc. etc.

monitoring . . . that both ET’s and humans have teams doing it.

Some claim ET’s need the blood plasma for food related needs.

Some think it’s just fear mongering.
