Real, Strange News

Hard to believe that in the day of pocket digital cameras and cellphones with built in cameras, no one snapped a photo or video of this thing.

I've seen one and there is something about them that stuns you if you are close, until they leave. It's tough to move or talk so even if you had a camera in your pocket, good luck. If you are far away you could but the pic will not be great. If you had a camera attatched to a spotting scope and were ready for that once in a lifetime moment then you could get a good pic.

I was thinking the same thing.

It's proof then - Aliens do exist. Case closed.

just could not resist a dig at the minutemen could you? just stick to the STORY and leave your bias at home!

It's a town of 15000 people (according to this: http://www.city-data.com/city/Stephenville-Texas.html ). I can't imagine this is one of the more technologically advanced hamlets in the country so I understand the lack of camera phones, and besides, anything that gets Texans thinking more like Kucinich can't be that bad.

I released the following prophetic word on national Christian media a number of weeks ago, (www.elijahlist.com), and believe what people think is a UFO is actually a fufillment of modern day prophecy. Bless you!

"TEXAS, USA (11.11.7)

I see Texas ablaze and a stunning star like the star from the East is rising over the land. I hear the spirit of the Lord say to watch for cosmic signs and wonders in Texas and that there will be cosmological phenomenon that the scientists cannot explain and that the media will carry as front line news.

People will begin to ask about the Light; they will remember the child in the manger and the Lord is calling his church to tell them about the child of the Manger and the Man of the Cross. For a period of four months - from Christmas to Easter - there will be a window of opportunity for salvations, signs, healings and wonders in Texas and this season of extraordinary favour and grace will manifest and be confirmed in unusual cosmic occurrences.

"As God's fellow workers we urge you not to receive God's grace in vain. For he says, "In the time of my favour I heard you, and in the day of salvation I helped you." I tell you now is the time of God's favour, now is the day of salvation. 2 Corinthians 6:1-2
Catherine Brown, www.gatekeepers.org.uk

They say all these people have the same story but when one crazy peson starts talking in a small town it wouldn't be hard to jump on the bandwagon. Plus picture phones and carmeras and no one even has a somewhat picture a little unbieleveable

Doesn't matter if they get a picture or not. The government always claims natural phenomenon. There's a youtube of NASA filming a tether that broke free of a satellite. Really gives the mind a puzzle to play with.

When I was in HS we had similar experience in NY. Saw strange lights approaching slowly and not on normal flight path to local airport. Family went outside, and neighbors too. It flew over. Huge slow moving circular shape with lights around edges. We all felt so strange to be witnessing a 'ufo.' We were ready to be beamed up. It was surreal. Then we noticed that stars could be seen through middle of the 'craft.'
Then the next day we learned it was a hoax from a group of ultralight pilots flying in formation.

Mystery solved...

It happens very fast, You are so amazed at the sight...The last thing you are thinking about is taking a picture, you still would be second-guessing yourself...\
I have seen a group of UFO's ...Some are big, and some are small, they were in a "v" formation and they move VERY quickly and can move in difficult directions in the sky the same as the arrow from your mouse does on the computer...I was only 17 when I saw these "moving lights" each of them seemed to have their own personality...I will never forget that night...Never believed until then, they get SO LOW...

THIS IS EVIDENCE THAT YOU ALL NEED TO COME CLEAN WITH YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR JESUS CHRIST. IF YOU FORGET OR DECIDE NOT TO, THEN JUST REMEMBER THAT WHEN HE FORGETS OR DECIDES NOT TO LET YOU INTO THE KINDGOM OF HEAVEN WITH THE REST OF US

I've seen 'em. The last one I saw scared the bejesus right outa me. I was standin
on the front porch of my trailer takin a leak and heard a noise. I looked up and saw a UFO. It looked like a giant pulsating anus.

Hmm... Like some others I find it hard to believe no one thought to take a picture. But then again its more than one person claiming to see it so who knows? If there were jets chasing it off it would lend some credibility to the claim of it being something our government doesn't want us to see.

But lights reflecting off a plane? Seriously thats the weakest explanation ever. Something you'd hear in a men in black movie as Tommy Lee Jones flashes you and erases your memory! lol

Darn! How come these never show up where I live? Could it be that even ET have given up on MI?

Reports say it was a mile long and half a mile wide.

Yeup, UFO's are flying around in Texas. Not one time as anyone ever captured real footage of a UFO. Gotta go, I think Bigfoot just walked by.

lol! gov't all the way baby! :) Why would they tell you? not chinese, not russian (it would have crashed if so) and def not Arab (there would have been an attack) :) you got it USA.

It has to be BS! What alien in their right mind would set foot in Texas?

Of course there is life out there. Look at how many billions and billions of stars (suns) there are just in our gallaxy. The figures are something like, if 1% of the stars were suns like our own and 1% of those had planets around them the odds were something like a hundred millions earth like planets. Just in our gallaxy. There are many, many gallaxies. Both larger and smaller thanour own.

We are not alone!

So the aliens travelled across the galaxy, visited Texas and then went home. What's so hard to believe about that?

"Irving" Could it have been Air Force 1?

Whats scary is the religious people screaming about the end is coming and all that...You guys were wrong about the year 2000 and you're wrong now..Quit trying to scare people

Have anyone take a picture of the UFO? I don't want to see any fuzzy and out focus picture or video.

@ SEAN, MARCOS

Are we seriously still assuming that there is not a possibility of intelligent life that is actually capable of interstellar travel? I am glad we have people like you (Sean & Marcos). You know, let's just sit on our butts and assume we are the only reason for this universe existing. What better of an incentive to actually question and discover new and interesting things right?

Wow! I simply cannot believe that these "aliens" could be that stupid. Texas? Wait, I know. They were looking for George W to take hime home!

If you need a good photo of a UFO, then ask the government to release some of the many photos the military has taken over the years but sealed away as classified. I heard a very convincing account of an Army photographer being escorted by armed personnel to a dark room where he was to 1) develop and 2) hand over all copies of spectacular sightings he photographed near a military base. All he was told was that it had something to do with an operation 'bluebird' (or something like that)--a group that was supposed disbanded years earlier but was still operational.
--Now I'll have to be exterminated for disclosing this.--

The UFOs come bearing the merciful but arbitrary American Christian God, who may or may not take you to heaven based on loose political affiliations and archaic dogma, rather than whether you lead a good life and are truly valuable to this universe.

Strangely, there exist no photographs of alleged UFOs. There are a few hoaxes viewable on YouTube, and a lot of poorly-focussed still, yet no photogpahs. UFOs belong in the category of water nymphs, peaceful religions and Darwinism: shear mass hysteria.

These goof ball religious fantics posting comments about this being the 'end of times' are the same people that stocked up food and headed to their bomb shelters during New Year's eve 1999.

http://www.nbc5i.com/news/15049952/detail.html
How about read the local stance on it. This story here twists it so that it seems like a bunch of rednecks reported a UFO. On the contrary. They reported odd lights in the sky. One of the reports came from a constable. Not all small towns are backwoods rednecks. This is a suburb of Fort Worth. There are a lot of towns that are like this. It is not a town of idiots nor are they lacking in electronics. I am sure you have seen something in your life and then later said dang I should have gotten video or taken a pic of that. Who wants to run in to get a camera and possibly miss what is going on?

I agree with the poster about the Minutemen. Please confine yourself to reporting the news, not commenting on it! There are too many "journalists" that use their craft to further their own ideology, as opposed to giving the public an unbiased presentation of the fact upon which to base their own opinions. Don't like the Minutemen (or do?), GO WRITE AN EDITORIAL!!!!

Although modern technology tells us that there is no life at least a million light years from us, these aliens have travelled that far in a metal space ship with electric lights to come spy on us. Maybe they even brought some ghosts with them.

I have been moving around with a camera always in my pocket, oh may be they wont come in front if we have a camera. .;)

People were reporting UFOs when the SR-71 blackbird was being tested, I think it was about 10-15 years before the public even knew about the plane, just imagine the fun stuff they have cooked up now flying around we dont even know about, that it where most sightings come from.

What a load of CRA> it had to be Taxas Thay would have a bigger than anyone else UFO

What a bunch of Texas idiots like Bush!

They came out for Dennis Kucinich to support him in today's democratic debate..

IT Might Of Been George Bush

Another shining moment for the Lone Star state! Why is it only hicks can see aliens?

2 Corinthians 6

Around this time of the year, its not unusual for Texans to see stranger objects flying around. When one takes a closer look, they find that those objects were merely the hats of the political candidates being thrown into the ring!

it was nothing more than jerry jones' new stadium leaving dallas

Dyess AFB is really close. those of you that know 7 th bombers ok. those that don,t look it up and figure it out

Seeing things in the sky that are unidentifiable doesn't seem at all unbelievable to me. Making claims that a dead being is going to come to earth to wreak havoc upon anyone who doesn't believe the same way you do; now that's crazy.

Their eyes lie and the government tells the truth!

One night in 1972 on my Dad's farm in Unity Maine we saw a light over the south pasture. It was behind the barn and so the barn was kind of like in a light halo, backlit. We we came around the corner, A brightly lit up machine, 30 feet up in the air was silently lowering a red cord. The UFO was 70 foot across. the red cord was almost alive, it darted around like some kind of snake. We saw it wrap itself around one of our cows and then lifted that dawn cow up a few inches. The UFO started rocking and it made the first sound, like a whine, increasing in pitch. Then we saw what was wrong the cord thing was hung up on the steel water pipe that feeds the troughs. the cow was 3 feet in the air and the UFO was swaying and the damn water pipe is holding fast!. after about a minute the cow comes down, the cord retracts and the the UFO zips away. WTF!

I saw something like this in Michigan this spring that I couldn't explain and took a crappy photo with my cell phone. I am not all that suprised that a photo hasn't surfaced. I thought for certain that someone else would report what I saw or have a better picture but never saw anything in the paper.

Before you get too excited, do a little math and analyze the sheer distance to the next closest star. It's 4.3 light years. Aliens aren't visiting our world, and if they are, their technology is thousands of years ahead of ours, and we could safely say we are merely ants to them, nothing of major interest. They are definitely not a threat because, given their highly advanced technology, could have easily destroyed us.

This is all based on the premise that they can somehow travel beyond the speed of light, which Einstein says isn't possible.

I think it's nothing but people fantasizing due to the fact that they are looking for something other than their mundane lives.

They've also probably never taken an astronomy course in college. If there is life out there, we would have intercepted their radio communication long before they would have arrived in our solar system.

The simple fact is that IF they exist then our intelligence is insignificant in comparison, and they have complete control over the situation. Therefore, there is nothing to fear and, frankly, nothing you can do about it. Just go about your business. The aliens (who don't exist) are just studying us and have no real use for us. We're just ants to them.

The military has developed odd aircraft in the past. Since a lot of these sightings are taken near military installations..

and the area has a military design facility and military installations.

it's the government, which is controlled by aliens.

UFO's in Texas equates with the impending rapture? Christianity in the US is so WEIRD!

If you want to see something that is real but defies all explanations of normalcy, see the strange lights in Michigan. I was there and saw it through high powered scope and what I saw I cannot explain in normal terms. It has existed for about a century.

Please ask residents of Stephenville, Texas to put up large arrow pointing WEST To ROSWELL, NM.

I think the aliens are coming back looking for their own, a certain TX family who went into politics after landing on earth years ago. I hope they beam them up and out of office!

Well I normally do not comment on these news reports but after reading some of the smarmy, closed-mind comments I can't resist. I have spent 26 years in the U.S. Air Force sand can assure you we have tracked, chased, and photograped UFOs and yes I have myself (along with about 75 others) witnesses 3 low-level UFOs no more than 500 feet altitude, in broad daylight, over a major road system...go from traveling at no more than 100 MPH accelerate to unbelievable speeds disappearing over the horizon in less than 2 seconds....yeah I know all you "intelligent" people out there knocking all people observing UFOs as backward "Texans" are simply not going to believe this, but you really need to wake up and be more aware of the bigger world and universe thats out there....read a paper for gods sake, watch the news, search the internet, more than 200 UFOs are reported in the US in a month, not counting the world-wide sightings by normal backward people such as Doctors, Lawers, College Professors, and Pilots..and yes there are missinterpreted sightings and yes not every report is valid...but not all are faked or imaginary...guess since you never saw a dinosaur they must never have existed..

Whatever group you are part of,just remember halebop comet. Dont drink the punch.

In 1967 I saw what I believe was a UFO. All these years after I still cannot find a logical reason for it being anything other. I have never told the exact details of what I saw to anyone, it doesn't matter to me if someone believes or not in a UFO sighting. What I do want to say is, it is one TRUTH I firmly believe in only because I saw a UFO. There isn't a lot of truths in this world I have come to trust, but this one I have.

There ain't no dadgummed guys named 'Irving' in Stephenville! He's a lyin'!!!

As a lifelong resident of Erath county, whose county seat happens to be Stephenville, I take exception to the idea that we are a group of technologically disadvantaged hicks. While it is true that Erath county is known for its dairies that produce more milk than any other county in the state, it is also the home to Tarleton State University. In addition to the expected programs, Tarleton also has an excellent science and technology department including a program in astronomy. Tarleton is one of only a few universities that has its own state of the art observatory. I couldn't say anything one way or another about UFO's, but I do know that Erath county in particular and Texans in general do not deserve to be disparaged in this manner.

It was baby jesus in his manger! I seen it wif my own too eyes! Save us baby jesus! Right after you finish mowing the front yard.

So "there isn't life at least a million light years from us?" Science, as you may known, does not provide us with dogmas (with truths that exist outside history), it's build upon research and rewritting. So, if when I was at highschool no other planet existed outside the Solar System (and that was a scientific truth in that time), nowadays the things are different. Scientific research was able to locate other planets outside our own garden. This example shows that we must understand science as continual research and understanding of the theories that this same science creates. So, if nowadays you say "there isn't life at least a million light years from us", you have, althought, to be read for changes that will, historically, happen.

The LAST place on this earth that any intelligent alien would want to visit is Texas. I mean, think about it, even other "intelligent Americans" wouldn't go there, no less, live there.

l

Do you think they were just trying to get to the Democratic Party Presidential primary in Nevada and got off track?

The alien's were just passing through but they had to stop in Texas to let their kids go pee.

What surprises me is how come people don't get tired making up all this crap? And then there are these religious nutters who don't give up either. *Sigh* Wait a week and it'll all die down, only to be remembered by the most hardcore believers.

Given the US' use of UAVs, I would not doubt this is the result of test flights from the nearby airbase.

Which is why we like to buzz your airbases, because we can count on the skeptics.

Now, if you don't mind.. get your little RC car off my doorstep.

Speaking of Texas ..

Further comment: Each time you make a phone call or use a cellphone or watch TV you are reveiving a signal that came from a satellite in space. Those signals, traveling at the speed of light, have already arrived at the next solar system(Proxima Centurai) if they were sent prior to 2004. So, all the Superbowls, TV shows, phone calls, etc., made before 2004 have already reached the next solar system.

Now, let's go back to the year 1999. Any radio transmission sent out prior to 2000 has had time to reach the next solar system, get anaylyzed by the little green men, and sent back to us. And they are probably scoffing at our rediculous claims of cows being lifted off the ground next to the watertower.

It's all a fun fantasy, but that's all it is.

Most astronomers are pretty sure that life does exist (due to the sheer numbers of stars in the galaxy and universe), but they'll also tell you that we have never been visited by aliens. Sorry to break your little fantasy, but that's all it is.

If aliens exist, we'll get their radio signals LONG before they actually arrive. Years, decades, centuries, millenium, or longer.

Light moves surprisingly slow on a galactic level, and humans cannot go even close to the speed of light. The only way, in the future, to travel that fast, will be through teleportation, and in that case, what's the point of a spaceship. But even then, it would take years and years to travel across space just to reach the next solar system. And we don't even know if it has planets. And if it has planets, who is to say they have life. And if there is life, who is to say it has evolved to our level or beyond.

It hasn't happened. Or, to put it in the language of UFO believers: them thar aliens aint real.

I know skeptics would say well why didn't you take a picture with your camera phone. Well lets think about that most camera phones can't take a good picture of something 5 feet away much less something flying in the sky at night. Plus most phones take several seconds before they can even operate in camera function. So you have the time delay of the person realizing what they are seeing with a phone that takes another 3 to 4 seconds to start up to then take a photo that will be completely black. Hmmm in other words it would have been impossible to take of photo or film the event unless for some reason you were outside and were already filming. But I wouldn't expect smart people to know that I would expect them to think that people in small towns in the south are dumb and incapable of doing the impossible.

I challenge you all to go read a book called "The Ancient Secret of the Flower of Life" by Drunvalo Melchizedek. This is a different understanding of interstellar travel. One you have probably never conceived.

If nothing else at least google search

flower of life

You Yanks sure are laughable!! You make fun of Texas in complete ignorance. You should see how you look from down here. Anyway thanks for the hoot. BTW for you Yanks, Stephenville is where all the people named Stephen live. Just tryin' ta help y'all.

Additionally, entries that are unsigned or contain "signatures" by someone other than the actual author will be removed. Finally, we will take steps to block users who

The Bush family is not Texan, they are east coast bluebloods. Most texans would not even be allowed to sleep in thier servents quarters. Evangicals have no respect for the religious equality the constitution requires and are therefore barely American. (Except in a nationalistic identity cult way, say 'Nazi') Same catagory as illegal immigrants that don't pay taxes. Take, but can't give. UFOs? Seen some strange things myself. Was to busy wetting myself to even think of taking a picture. It's like the 5 seconds of a car accident. The brain can't process fast enough and just kind of locks up. Deer in the headlights effect.

I too was takin a leak on the front porch o'my trailer & I saw somethin comin cross the sky like a big Jesus shaped thing all covered in lights & what not. I think the Lord was tellin me to stop peein all over my front porch or sumthin!

Hopefully it was a UFO, Which would then prove once-and-for-all, that there is indeed intelligent life out there.

Cause Lord knows, there is'nt here....

INGY Q BINGLEBOP:
This is evidence that you should 'come clean' as a CAPS LOCK abuser. (It's a sin in the internet world)

Also, scaring people into a fetal position of repressed shame is no way to win influence with any religion.

I don't know. There's something about an omniscient being holding an eternal grudge that doesn't quite add up.

Probably the machine dwellers were routinely checking on the aliens - the (sub)human beings - the ones with the flat teeth, sweaty pores, long intestinal tracts and yet eat even each other (and most of which are still only capable of creating rock and stick tools). Humans are sad and crazy these days, and have lost the meaning of the word "superstition". IMHO

If you could download yourself into a flying machine capable of inter-dimensional travel, extending your life into the tens of thousands of years or more, would you?

Wish it were true. Can't be. Read any scientific explanation of the distances involved for space ship travel or radio signal travel. Each says it's just way too far. They can;t get here, and they can't know to come.

I had more fun reading the comments than actually reading the article PROPS! :)

I think it was just the military testing out some new technology. I wonder why here in Utah we don`t get that many sightings...we have an AFB here as well.

Wow! I just thought of something really heavy, maybe it was Carl Sagan doing a flyby in his starship Cosmos. Personally, if I was going to do some interstellar traveling, I'd use time warp tunnels and worm holes just to watch the earth stand still! Klatu Borada Nikto!

What's up with the bashing of Texas?

Have you ever been there?
Texas has much more to offer than DC ever did.We're much more progressive than you might think.We also have beaches,deserts,mountains,hills,lakes,big cities,small towns,Mexico, and you can't beat the weather most of the time.
And now we have UFO's!

*WHO IN THEIR RIGHT MIND BELIEVES IN ALIENS? AND ALSO THEY SAY IT WAS 1 MILE LONG AND 1/2 A MILE WIDE...YEAH YEAH WHATEVER THEY COULD HAVE TOOK A PICTURE IF IT WAS THAT HUGE.*

Reports say it was a mile long and half a mile wide.

I remember when I was a young lad my family would talk behind closed doors in whispers, about my uncle who claims he was abducted by aliens and they turned him into a chicken. Nobody in the family said a word to anyone outside the household because the were free!

OOPS! Correction: I remember when I was a young lad my family would talk behind closed doors in whispers, about my uncle who claims he was abducted by aliens and they turned him into a chicken. Nobody in the family said a word to anyone outside the household because the "eggs" were free!

The "known" universe is 156 billion light years accross. That equals 917,045,970,360,000,000,000,000 miles. 917 septillion miles. (is septillion even a real word?)
With our own sun having the volume of about 1,000,000 times that of Earth, and our galaxy containing 200 to 400 billion stars, and the universe containing at least that many galaxies; how can anyone be so arrogant to think that humans are the ONLY intellegent life in the universe? Get over yourselves. It's not the end of the world, or the rapture, or even strange. It is an inevitability. It's an opportunity.

"who in their right minds believes in aliens?"

No one should be judging.
1. there are many things we have no clue about since we have no security clearance to know.
2. long time ago there were some people that testified the world was flat.
3. open your minds people.

There are things modern science can not even explain.

I do not believe one way or another, but never rule anything out.

Whats all the fuss? I thought that I would like to see the planet Earth. A friend said that it is a good place for a vacation. Don't worry I'll be leaving in a few days.

im the cropcircle guy. my comment...tsk...tsk...

Hi, I have been in Stephenville for 31 years. While there are lots of drunken idiots with big trucks and even bigger hats roaming around, Stephenville hardly fits the model of a hick town. Last year we finally got indoor plumbing! We got to burn the outhouse for heat! YAY! As far as technology, even my 12 year old has a picture / video phone, and so do 90% of her spoiled friends. I too would like to see pics, I agree it is a little surprising that nobody has any pics if it was real. Who knows? But I do know a few of the "witnesses" and certainly consider them credible. Now at least we will be known for something other than the racist Aunt Jemima college party and subsequent KKK rally that drew national attention awhile back. Oh yeah, and also for having a cow mounted on our town square.

I have come to understand that the eye usually only sees what the mind is ready to comprehend. If it is something new or strange, we will attempt to define it based on our own understanding and we will most definitely view it as truth, defend it as truth and feel offended if criticized. Persons outside of Texas seem to believe that all Texans are inarticulate and unintelligent, so that's how they will perceive this event. The military will have their military explanation; the scientist will have their scientific analysis; the religious will have their revelation as well; etc.

I don't believe there is any reason to attack or mock the other who differs in perception from our own. The size of a person's character is revealed by what makes him/her angry. Your reaction will say more about you than the opinions you mock and attack. This is an interesting story and nothing will probably come from it worth writing home about, other than learning more about yourself in what your reaction is and why. In my attempt to not offend anyone, I'm sure someone might have. It was not my intention. Happy blogging! :-)

howdy i come out of stephenville too and i saws the UFO. i was chewin some tobaco in front of my trailer and i looked up and sawr this big flyin thing. now im no rocket sientist, but i know that people cant just be a flyin around like that so i knows i seen a UFO

That's nice. They put up a little graphic of 'aliens' and the last paragraph of the article seems to offer nothing more than a trite writer's opinion of green men with the whirling resonance of a theremin trailing in the background. Cute.

From what I gathered, no one has claimed to see aliens here... just UFO's.

There's a difference.

First: Go outside and try to snap a cellphone picture of a fast-moving object. I double-dare ya to get a shot of quality worth showing to someone.

Second: Someone said we'd have picked up alien radio signals if they were nearby. That's bunk. Radio is an archaic technology that is highly limited. If they have developed faster-than-light technology or the ability to create wormholes, radio would be useless. Their ships would go faster than their communications signals. They're using something else. Most likle tachyons or quantum cloning (take two identical quantum particles and separate them any distance, if you affect one then the other is affected the same way. By charging the particle and decharging it, you've just created binary...over any distance).
3. These things were constantly buzzing our radar stations in Germany after WWII. We'd light 'em up, they'd hover, remote shut-down our stations, and take off and go scare the bejesus out of the Russians. It was scary.
Every major civilized first-world country has admitted they exist: France, Belgium, Japan, the Netherlands, Russia, Israel, to name a few. Only the US and British governments won't talk about it. Look up the COMETA report, it was an international report done by scientists of world-wide caliber that concluded some UFOs can only be extraterrestrial craft. Was this one of them? That remains to be seen.

Stephenville, I have been through there in my wonderings. I do want to point out for those who have been misled onto thinking that we Texans lack good reason and since. There is a diffrence between stupid and "country dumb". Unfortunatly, our current president, the Honorable G.W Bush, strattles that line much to finely for many a Lone Star citizen's taste. Texans aren't inherintly stupid,(though we are inherinatly proud), and in a town a 15,000 is sizable by Texan standards, they are several miles south of Dallas/Ft Worth and in the center of oil country, a cultured community. If they looked up in the sky and saw what they saw, I don't think they would say otherwise. Whether extraterrestrial or terrestrial, there was something flying up there and those citizen's will eventually pay the price with jeering remarks from nay-sayers, debunkers and "learned" men. There is no need to pile it on more here.

We live in a very remote area of Northern Wisconsin. We have seen strange sights for years. I tell my kids that the night sightings are military aircraft as to not scare them, or myself. Some are really special aircraft being tested at night. The Airforce admitted that the FY117 was tested at night until it became too dangerous.

Unmanned aircraft are also being tested with very high speeds and unusual abilities. However, even with my background and understanding of aviation and the night sky, I cannot fully address some of the very unusual things I have seen.

Pulses of "light", our house turning blue inside one night, very high electric use and bills, strange health issues, and other physical events.

I have the ability to take pictures and 99.9% of the time the image is just black. This Texas event is not unusual for us folks up here. Just don't shoot at these objects because someone will get hurt and they don't seem to be bothering us too much.

Our current theories of physics do not allow travel faster than the speed of light. But, we have no good reason to believe that our current theories are actually correct. Indeed, all of our previous theories of physics have been proved incorrect. Science does not give absolute truth. Science works by positing a theory that seems to predict observations, and then designing experiments to try to refute that theory. We can never prove that any scientific theory is true. We can only prove a theory false, or fail to prove it false.

Many scientists are confident that life exists elsewhere in the universe. But that confidence is based on the sheer number of other solar systems. If anyone has actual knowledge of such life, either they keep silent, or they are ridiculed as a crackpot. Rational scientists, because they are dependent on grant funding to feed their families, don't like to be labeled as crackpots. So, if any of them does have such knowledge, they would be smart to keep silent until they have actual evidence.

I would not be surprised if civilizations exist outside our solar system. I would not be surprised if they have vehicles capable of interstellar travel at faster-than-light speeds. And, I would not be surprised if they have something like academic anthropologists who go to other planets to research primitive cultures. But, I do not have first-hand knowledge of any such thing.

A number of smart, capable, rational people have in recent years said that they have seen such things first-hand. Some of them are military officers. Others are pilots, police officers, and scientists. Those people have been trained to observe and report accurately. I do not have reason to doubt their veracity.

It seems likely to me that there really is some a basis in fact behind these reports. We may actually have been visited by alien anthropologists. And, perhaps, their technology is not so far ahead of ours as we might imagine. We may have recovered some of their technology, and we may even have been able to reverse-engineer some of that technology.

World news agencies including ABC have recently reported that scientists have discovered unusual phenomena which, points to the existence of another planet. Physicists in the United States and an astronomer in Great Britain describe this hypothetical planet as having the mass of between one and ten Jupiters,as well as having an orbit that takes it three million miles from the Sun. As this planet approaches, extraterrestrials from the planet are able to visit our Earth. They have visited Earth before - the first ones arrived here 450,000 years ago, and are described in ancient Sumerian, Egyptian, and Mayan texts. The planet is named Marduk in Babylonian records, and Nibiru in the earlier Sumerian. The planet was formed way out in space, millions of miles from the planet Neptune(Pluto was not in its orbit, yet), and veers off its original path when it is captured by Neptune's gravity. The Sumerian text also foresees the great planetary conjunction of 12/23/07 (which no one cared about) as a sign that we are going to begin being visited for the next 5 years, and this will culminate in a great event of some sort on 12/21/12.

I find it astonishing that people are knocking on Texans as retards. I live in Texas. I live in Houston. Isn't Texas famous for NASA?

Stop being a closed minded, uneducated, stereotype degenerate. Ugh.

Yeah, what's with the Minutemen dig? We're not all racist extremists down here in Texas.

All those who say they are sure that UFOs exist and that we've been visited: it's time to get into physics.

Since you are now convinced we are being visited, answer these questions: How did they travel through billions of miles of space? Why would they bother to visit us? Why is it such a secret? Do they listen to Barbara Streisand songs? Are they getting enough vitamin C on their centuries-long journey? Maybe they're just stopping for citrus fruit.

Seriously, why the big secret? Little green men came from a long way to visit us. Why not stop and say hello?

There are still images of it...I have some and hope others captured a shot as well. Why not post the pics and accept the reward? Because the reward is not worth the money I paid for my camera and all its accessories and to have it posted all over the internet so some yahoo can duplicate it with image editing software thus discrediting the whole entire event while ridiculing anyone who takes time to prove this is real. Maj. Karl Lewis insults the people of Stephenville with explanations of a jet airliner and he has other supporters of swamp gas, cloud light reflection, and other ridiculous theories that belong on the cartoon network. Mr. Lewis how does the sunset light make a metallic reflection in the sky with shadows?
I recently drove from Colorado to Texas to buy a truck when I saw this ...now my own beliefs are in question.
Hang in there Stephenville.

@Mike Fairbanks

I was waiting to read a physics debunk and only got a crummy Seinfeld routine.

Remember-

Ronald Reagan saw 2 UFOS AND he consulted with psychics IN THE WHITE HOUSE!!!

Now which is worse...having an affair in the White House or consulting a psychic on world affiars in general?

Okay, it was a bit Seifeldish, but nobody will answer the question of:

Why the big secret?

If aliens have visited us, why the big secret? The usual answer is that everyone would panic.

Okay, then what? Well, then people would settle down, because you can't run away from Earth very easily no matter how much of a frenzy you are in.

Why the secret? Why would the government keep it a secret? Why would the aliens keep it a secret?

Why don't they simply land and say hello?

Maybe some civilization out there has visited us, but the least they could do is help us fix up a thing or two. Stop in and have a drink. Meet the kids.

They may be visiting us, but as guests, their manners are exceptionally poor.

All those who say they are sure that UFOs exist and that we've been visited: it's time to get into physics.

Since you are now convinced we are being visited, answer these questions: How did they travel through billions of miles of space?

I'm sure if a cave man saw an 747, he'd say it was impossible. "If man were meant to fly he'd have wings." Remember that?
On the science side, an Einstein-Rosen Bridge, or wormhole, allows travel over large distances without actually moving that distance by folding space/time. Einstein's theory on that have been confirmed by Stephen Hawkings, who not only believes there are interstellar-travelling species out there, but thinks we should be quiet, because they're not liable to be friendly.

Why would they bother to visit us?

Why did Jane Goodall go visit apes? Why did Darwin voyage on the Beagle? If they're scientifically advanced, then they have to be curious. You can't get science without curiousity.

Why is it such a secret?

Non-intervention. Scientists on earth know that if you are observing something and want to do a controlled experiment, you don't touch it or manipulate it. Basic science.

Do they listen to Barbara Streisand songs? Are they getting enough vitamin C on their centuries-long journey? Maybe they're just stopping for citrus fruit.

What does that have to do with anything?

Seriously, why the big secret? Little green men came from a long way to visit us. Why not stop and say hello?

How often do you go out in your backyard, pick up an ant and say "hello!"
Visiting us and keeping quiet is common sense. We're starting to travel through space. We also have dropped a few nukes here and there. If you were a "neighbor" wouldn't you want to keep an eye on us in our own backyard, as opposed to being totally surprised when the USS Enterprise starcruiser waltzes into orbit over your planet one day?
UFO visitation is not only possible, and likely, it's actually just good science.

I was born and raised a Texan. You may all make fun of Texas if it makes you feel better. It actually just shows your ignorance. UFO's are reported all over the world, not just in Texas.
When I was 17 (a Texas farm girl) I awoke to the barking of our dog as if he were trying to let us know something was wrong.
I looked out the window and about a half a mile away I saw what I thought were car lights and could hear a noise as if it were a motor. My first thought was, "Teenagers out in the country parking." I decided to watch thinking they would soon leave and drive in front of our house. Only a few minutes went by when the sound of the motor shut off, then the white lights changed to a glowing orange and slowly lifted off the ground. By this time I remember my legs shaking really bad and the dog was going crazy. I was so stunned but finally got the nerve to run outside to see what had happened. It was gone from sight. My Dad believed I had seen something I couldn't explain and my Mother, to this day, totally thought I couldn't have seen such a thing. I didn't go around telling anyone what I had seen. Years later I read an article where someone described exactly what I had seen and it gave me chills. I'm not so sure that these are from another planet, rather than they have been here all along.

Leave it to the Washington Compost to spin a story about an extra-terrestrial alien sighting to bash illegal alien tracking Minutemen. Little jabs like this seem harmless, but they DO influence opinions. Just another example of the liberal media pushing their agenda.

look how close stephenville is to crawford and the naval base very near there and a large body of water that no doubt allows entrance to the well known subterrainian caverns. Bush's ranch is well known to be totally solar powered and I suspect the navel base has extensive facilities underground where some will go when the surface environment of the planet is pelted by debris and falling satelittes and radioactive materials due to a number of sources that we will be some witness to but that we better hide from or else be burned up or subject to severe cancers and fear. This area is also where Do of the Heaven's Gate group was born in Spur where he spent many years growing up not too much older than G.W. who is playing peacekeeper now while also holding an iron fist, all very biblical. Do was the return of Jesus predicted. He had the exact same MO which is not reflected by christianity except in lingo that is steeped in disinformation the same as the entire UFO subject, mostly our of ignorance and fear. If you want to talk with me about this email me at: sawyerhg@yahoo.com

I think catherine brown's prophesy was probably about the cowboys getting spanked by the giants in the playoffs and T.O. crying about it.

It is a sin to assume you or anyone will definately get into heaven. Only GOD knows if you are saved. You have no idea, and I fear many who are convinced of it, will be surprised at what HE reveals at the time of our death. Stop reading the book, and casting judgements on others. We are here to simply do his work to all men, and to be stewards of his creations. (i.e. protect all animals). LIVE a christian life, don't READ about it (OVER AND OVER) and then regurgatate that which has been rewritten by humans thousands of times. Look around you....find someone who you (alone) are CONVINCED is sinful, and help them with whatever they need. Don't try to CHANGE that person...simply be their brother.

That said......I am certain there IS a logical explanation of this. If this was a real phenomenon, then it would be seen elsewhere and not just at night.

It's important to remember theories about ancient astronauts, and put these theories into the proper perspective. There is so much that has been written about alien visitors that it is astounding. In the Biblical Old Testament, the Book of Ezekiel tells of a flying object seen as a fiery whirlwind which when descended to the ground gave the appearance of being made of metal. It is described among other things as a wheel within a wheel containing four occupants, "living creatures", whose likeness was that of man. The passage goes on to say that wherever the wheels went the creatures went, and when the living creatures were lifted up the wheels were lifted up. The apocryphal Book of Enoch tells of similar flying objects and beings, but goes further in that Enoch is taken on journeys to various corners of the Earth in the object and at one point even travels to the heavens. In several chapters of the Old Testament, the Hebrew God Yaweh is depicted as ttaveling as a column of smoke and/or fire. Yahweh is described raining lightning down upon the enemies of the Hebrews. Descriptions of the Hebrew God have also featured protecting wings and outstretched arms in the Psalms, features which may be considered contrary to theories of mechanical manifestations of God, but tellingly refers to the different perceptions of their God given the different eras the stories were written. There is also much in the Bible at races of "Giants" and other phenomenon. Not to mention all kinds of other cultures, all the "model airplanes" discovered in ancient Egypt and Peru, for example, and the Mayan civilization, which puts the date 12-21-12 at the end of it's calendar... there is much more written about this whole subject. It's up to people to stop being lazy and read. All this has been foretold.

In response to Paul 3,

The term UFO stands for unidentified Flying Object. This means that the object that is being seen flying about. Has yet to be recognized as a known flying object. Hence forth the person(s)seeing and reporting the object, are correct in doing so. Don't take the governments stand which dummies the rest of the undecided. By saying Duh it was a Top Secret mission.

Lighten up Thom

Last thing I want to say for now about this. The Air Force intends to keep this information about UFO's secret. However, up until the 1970's, the Air Force was much more open about the subject. In fact, the idea of ancient astronauts seems to have been given serious consideration by the United States Air Force who devoted an entire chapter to UFO's as part of their Department of Physics textbook Introductory Space Science, Volume II which was included in the Colorado Air Force Academy curriculum until it was removed in the 1970's. Relating to ancient astronauts in particular, the textbook cites several ancient accounts of flying craft and concludes: "From available information, the UFO phenomenon appears to have been global in nature for almost 50,000 years."

Any reports of anal probing?

I am sorry we thought our Commander said to go to Erath county but he said Earth. We won't make that mistake again. Are we too early for the Super Bowl? We wanted to make sure we had good seats. See you on the moon. Oh yeah, you earthlings never really made it to the moon.

just wanna say that I am not a believer nor a disbeliever in 'alien? spacecraft'. I do, however, would like to say that about 2 years ago, I told a friend of mine that whenever I see the numbers 1111(I constantly see either 3 ones or 4 ones) this will be a sign that the end of the world is going to happen. By the way, I am not at all a religious fanatic, etc...I am just a person with avg intelligence. I do not know y I said what I did, but it frightens me. I believe that within the next 5-7 years will be a moment that will be forever a change that will sweep the world.

Well a 1.6KM UFO seems pretty unlikely to be from here doesn't it?

Greg California:

I am not taking the side of the government, I agree people should report it. I am just saying keep your minds open, no one knows what the heck it was. but in my opinion there is much the government hides and I am curious, even if it was alien.

Yes, I can believe a UFO was in the sky. I saw one once flying low across Manhattan. I suddenly woke up in the middle of the night and walked to the window. I noticed that the atmosphere was yellow and then I saw the lights which moved in formation around something. I thought the craft was following the East River but it seemed very low and I wondered how I could see those lights from about 4 blocks back from the river. I said to myself, "it's just a UFO" and went back to sleep. Strange. I have never heard any other mention of yellow atmosphere in connection with UFOs. I have no proof, just intuition.

OK folks, let's not get too hysterical here. The "truth" is truly "out there" but we are not even close to understanding, so let's not get ahead of ourselves. The "reality" is that UFOs truly do NOT "exist". At least, no more than you, or I, or anything else does. They do not "travel" hundreds, thousands, or millions of light-years to study the flora and fauna of central Texas only to turn around and "fly" back home. The truth is that we cannot understand the UFO phenomenon because we do not understand the basic underpinning of the shared experience we call reality. We have no idea how they can travel such great distances because we cannot fathom the existence of time let alone control or manipulate it. We can't understand how they can "Fly" because we have no idea how gravity works. We don't understand how they can seem to appear and then disappear because our scientific understanding of the "physical" world is based upon the premise laid out in the law of Conservation of Energy (COE). I mean come on people, if COE were true, how would any of the matter in the universe ever have come to "exist" in the first place? It is time to start thinking outside the box here. If we are going to gain any understanding of the "para-normal" we will fist need to get a handle on the basics upon which our understanding of "normal" science is built. Let's get crackin' people, the truth awaits...

This sounds alot like WMDs, Anthrax, and Returning to the Moon. Next thing you'll here is we need funding to research these UFO sightings more thoroughly. Just another way for the GOVT to hide money away for alternate agendas. First you put a scare into the public then you get the funding you need. Wake up people we never went to the moon. And now they want to spend a few billion to return.

I'd say it offers MORE credibility that no one has claimed to have a picture of this. I can photoshop an alien standing next to my wife at our wedding in about 5 mins. Nothing is proven, but would I be suprised? No.

If Roswell is any indication, let's hope the aliens have gotten better at flying. I hope they don't travel billions of miles only to crash in the desert.

Hang in there Stephenville.

It seems obvious to me that folks who mock the perhaps-we-are-being-visited-by-aliens paradigm are probably just frightened by the prospect that a technologically-superior class of creatures might have some interest in us, and that their presence has been observed throughout recorded human history. Lord knows that I can't think of a single highly-evolved species on OUR planet that has made rudimentary steps towards space flight, understanding of cosmic forces and physical laws, or the desire to explore and understand the unknown, or any species that would be at all interested in far-less advanced species, like mice or polar bears or mountain lions, so they must not exist elsewhere either.

You know, if *I* was an alien race, I might have some interest in keeping tabs on the smart but violent and tribalistic ape-like creatures at the edge of the galaxy, who are interested in nuclear weapons, space warfare and exploration, exotic energy sources, and have tendencies toward imperialism.

I'm gay!

Lets say you decide to take a stroll through the park. And while you casually walk along you notice an ant hill. You may glance at it for a few seconds but keep on walking. Several yards later you see another ant hill, but this time you pay it no attention and keep on walking. Now imagine that the park is the Universe, the person walking are aliens and the ant hills are small earths.

We had UFOs in our backyard once. Didn't taste much like chicken as you might think. Crunchy, though.

Hard to resist commenting after this, um, diversity of opinion.

All the government/media needs to do in response to UFO sightings, no matter how numerous (such as over Phoenix at dusk in my neck o the woods), is respond with snarky humor, impugning those bold enough to talk about it, trivializing the event. Seems to work every time, except with those who saw what they saw and can't accept the latest insulting explanation.

Funny we should wonder if aliens would be hostile. The US is engaged in aggressive, preemptive empire building (I know as a millionaire I've certainly benefited!) Racism is ingrained (look how easily immigrants became 'illegals'). Genocide is all the rage in this century--and when we finally admit the planet is warming up and we're the cause, we work hard at doing nothing 'cause corporations don't see a short-term profit in it. Not sure how far we've come, really.

ps: The minutemen, those wacky vigilantes that thrive in Bush's America, live in my backyard--believe me, it's better to be white, with patriotic/conservative/religious/NRA-ish bumper stickers while pausing for refreshment in their neck o the desert, or you'll want to keep on driving.

...Now imagine that the park is actually a hot dog bun and the aliens are looking for that perfect Nathans' hot dog, but there's a catch... there relish is bad!!

HOW BOUT THEM GIANTS!!!!!!!!

Has anybody thought that this could be a craft from the secret location west of Morgan, Texas.

There is no god. Get over it. Stop blindly living your lives like mindless drones. You people make me sick.

I sawed it up close right out back of my trailer. It had a Ron Paul bumper sticker on it.

I graduated from Tarleton State University, which is located in the 'ville... as we call it. The town is a bit red neckish, however, Stephenville is the #1 dairy producing town and is made up of rich cowboys and their debutante wives. The 'ville is also a huge rodeo town... Ty Murray lives there with his long time girlfriend JEWEL... yes, Jewel the singer. There are a few hill-billies that sneak out from time to time, but over all a great town... not to mention college town with 50 cent you call it Tuesdays at one bar and 1.00 Keystone Light tallboy Tuesday at another. But UFOs?!?!?! That's crazy!!!

Here's an idea - get back to work.

Don't you find it funny, that a bunch of people who don't necessarily know each other, all came up with the same story, at the same time, and according to some fools here, think they all agreed? To accomplish what? Stephenville is in a beautiful Northern Hill Country setting. These people live there, and not in the big city becasue they can AFFORD to. Why would a constable, a teacher and many other professionals interupt their lives in order to conjure up a hoax? All of these people have simply reported what they saw. I don't really know if any of them are saying it was a "UFO". They are simply telling others what they saw. I hope you see something someday and have people ridicule you...I wonder if that would shut you up!

Stephenville is not far from Crawford. Maybe 30 or 40 miles. Hopefully these things are getting ready to drop bombs on Bush and his ranch.

I just booked my room at the holiday inn in Stephenville for Saturday night. I'm going to check it out. me and the girlfriend will just kick back, have a few drinks, and look at the sky. Just a 4 hour drive. It'll be fun.

It's them scientologists!

You know, I've noted quite a bit of Texas bashing in this blog. To all of the 'Bashers': Jealousy gets you no where! People that are usually so quick to criticize my state are typically people that have nothing to be proud of themselves and know nothing about Texas except for what they hear on a liberal news channel or talkshow. I'm a Texan and I'm proud of it. I say to all the bashers out there, if you come my state and you meet a true Texan you will likely find them to be friendly, honest, considerate and respectful. That's more that I can say for some other parts of this country where those attributes aren't even an afterthought.

What time was it? A little after the Dallas game was over? Like when the blimp was going home?

The clouds might have made it "look like a UFO", but come on people....it was the blimp!

I sure hope these things are friendly.

look, they said its was traveling faster then an airplane. makes it even harder to take a picture of it. Its sad to see people actually believing the debunkers.

I know the economy is bad but we already have 1 Roswell we don't need another. I can just imagine the town counsel sitting around a table saying, "I got it, we can say we saw a UFO and people will come here and spend their money, just like Roswell". Great Idea, I second the motion. So it shall be recorded a Big UFO was seen here, now start calling the newspapers yaall.

Ok. Here's another thought for you... Along time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, there was a race of people who sent "scouts" out into the universe to check out certain planets that were deemed to be viable for habitation. There technologies were great, but the distances were even greater so they had to prepare for what was certainly a very long-term commitment. But, over the millenia, many of these scouts were lost to history as their society fell victim to war and disease. Subsequent, rise of new civilization and technology brought yet another round of exporation. Only this time, the crafts were able to travel greater distances at infintely faster speeds. So much so that they were able to arrive at their destination planets hundreds of thousands of years ahead of the scouts that were sent out by the earlier civilizations. However, as it was in the nature of all civilizations to rise and fall, so was their demise and rebirth again. The remaining civilization had no real understanding of thier own history, so it came as quite a shock and surprise when the ancient scouts began to arrive on their original schedule. Oh my god! They all shouted as they witnessed the technology of what was clearly a far more advanced civilization...

Well I live in Colorado and have pictures taken of an object in the Southeast sky on 01/14/08 at 7ish pm and later, this object was flashing whites, blues and reds and from our perspective never really moved.This is definitley NOT an airplane.When you zoom in on the pics you can see it pretty good.

While federal officials insist there's a logical explanation, locals swear that it was larger, quieter, faster and lower to the ground than an airplane, "Dam it". They also said the object's lights changed configuration, unlike those of a plane and spelled out words like "Go Dallas". People in several towns who reported seeing it over several weeks have offered similar descriptions of the object.

Watch/Google search online "UFO The Greatest Story Ever Denied" and then scoff. Over 50 members of our Government including Brigadier Generals come forth and tell their stories. Ending their pensions and risking their lives to reveal the truth. General MacArthur was witness to the Roswell bodies and recovery of the craft himself and speaks about it. Unseen videos never before publicly shown. No trailer dwellers testify. Only CIA, FBI, Army, Navy, Air Force, NASA, NRO, and other former top secret clearance individuals testimony. Watch that then decide whether you believe or not.

The bible clearly says "Earth ending is near..". (by the way, who wrote this bible thing).

You must believe that many aliens come from billions of light years away to Earth - to make crop circles.

UFO nay-sayers and disbelievers are quick to discredit those people brave enough to publicly admit they've seen something unidentifiable in the sky. Perhaps taking that "I-know-better-than-you" stance makes the scoffers feel more comfortable with their own narrow definition of "reality."

Regardless, I'm surprised no one has yet cited The Disclosure Project (www.disclosureproject.org), an effort begun in 1993 by Steven M. Greer, MD, to record stories of UFO sightings by hundreds of highly intelligent, credentialed individuals (military, law enforcement, academic, scientific, medical and legal professionals, etc.). Dr. Greer and some of his interviewees even placed personal reputations on the line by holding a National Press Club Conference (Washington, DC) in May 2001.

Their stories, now public record, span decades and contain such rich detail that one can only conclude that the UFO issue should not be written off as bogus or imaginary.

we are too far advanced for someone not to have known about it. this kind of bs went out way back with roswell, nm

It's easy to speculate that we are seeing extra-terrestials...but the fact remains that IF they existed, there would be more proof than this. Communication with us would have already happened. It's illogical to think they just snoop, grope, and abduct. If they have that kind of technology, they would have revealed themselves.

Additionally, the governments, including the US, work on military craft years ahead of what we are aware of. Perhaps these craft are built by the military???? duh...

Q: Ever wonder why the government says UFO's don't exist?

A: Becuase the "U" stands for "Unidentified".

(What if the government has identified these objects? It would be completely accurate for officials to claim "UFO's don't exist.")

Get it?

A UFO came down over the vineyard on a relative's house, overlooking a large lake in upstate NY. It was silent, did not ruffle the leaves of the vineyard, and had tons of lights, some of which were aimed into the living room window overlooking the lake.

By the time the Colonel got the camera, it shot off over the horizon so fast it was gone in a blink.

The next day the military had a section of the field corded off and they were onto something. The Colonel saw it, who is now deceased. The day after his death, the office was broken into and papers disappeared.

This was not reported to the news, since the Colonel did not want anyone to think he was a nut case.

Before his death, he spoke to his buddies from the Air Force. They said these things buzz the planes all the time. They're all over the place. This event occured over 20 years ago. This one was fast, silent and have lots of lights.

No further information was available on the crash site. The Colonel was a big shot in the Pentagon, and he could not get further information.

One remote possibility was: this could have been a US Gov't space craft. But it does not seem very likely.

My opinion is that the government wants to keep it quiet to keep their phones from ringing off the hooks, so they blow it all off as a weather balloon or somebody's hallucination.

I hope they stay in Texas and don't come too close to home !

NASA doesn't call them UFOs' anymore. They are readily referred to as ETVs'. Extra Terrestrial Vehicles. Really people, research something before forming an opinion. Either side. The proof is there and no one wants to see it. Once again like I suggested earlier watch UFO The Greatest Story Ever Denied also known as The Disclosure Project.

I like reading how everything is about "their god," or "it is prophesy- repent!!" The medieval mind is alive and well. Glad humankind tossed the chains of religious ignorance and prejudice thought on their minds several centuries ago.

Besides, it nice to know humans still thing they are the one and only - it's all about me attitude. E.T. come visit me - I am a barely conscious ape creature that likes to kill my own for silly reasons - save me from myself!!

So this UFO - was mostly another advance weapon system - designed, built and made by human hands. Field Effect propulsion system; tested in a low population area - is in case something goes wrong - damage control is easier.

Ask why make a weapon system like this one? Well - it's the hidden enemy silly. Look around they all out there coming to take our precious freedom!!! Run, run!!!

Laughing out loud ...

I saw it too but it did not look like a UFO its look like a meter coming down really fast and that light was like ball of fire.

I'm A College Student In Stephenville, And....As I Stumbled From The Bar The Other Night I Thought I Saw Some Strange Lights, At First I Thought It Was The Cops, But Now I Know It Was A UFO. Thank Goodness The Only One That Saw It!

Interesting theories described above by Thom and others. Actually, there is much evidence to back up not just the existence of ancient astronauts, but also the existence of a 10th Planet which may be approaching our known solar system. Even mainstream astronomers have long speculated that there may be an unknown planet - a Planet X - somewhere out beyond the orbit of Pluto that would account for the anomalies they were detecting in the orbits of Neptune and Uranus. Some unseen body seems to be tugging at them. The finding was reported in the June 19, 1982 edition of the New York Times:

Something out there beyond the furthest reaches of the known solar system is tugging at Uranus and Neptune. A gravitational force keeps perturbing the two giant planets, causing irregularities in their orbits. The force suggests a presence far away and unseen, a large object, the long-sought Planet X. Astronomers are so certain of this planet's existence that they have already named it "Planet X - the 10th Planet."

This theory is further supported by extensive scientific research concerning the story of the Anunnaki, who are described in great detail in ancient Sumerian texts found in Iraq. The theory is profound and basically says this: About 450,000 years ago, Alalu, the deposed ruler of the Anunnaki on Nibiru, escaped the planet on a spaceship and found refuge on Earth. He discovered that Earth had plenty of gold, which Nibiru needed to protect its diminishing atmosphere. They began to mine Earth's gold, and there were a lot of political battles among the Anunnaki for power. Then around 300,000 years or so ago, the Anunnaki decided to create a race of workers by genetically manipulating the primates on the planet. The result was homo sapiens - us. Eventually, rulership of the Earth was handed over to humans and the Anunnaki left, at least for the time being.

Sorry, the blimp was from the East -- try again!

I live in Stephenville, Texas. I am appalled at the many comments from ignorant people who assume #1 that the residents of Stephenville are hicks, and #2 that the reports are false. Who says? You? I guess if it didn't happen to you, in your backyard, where you could witness it, or take a digital picture of it then it must absolutely be false.

For the record. I didn't see or witness it. Nor are any of the people who reported it friends or relatives. But I'm not so narrow minded, self-righteous, and ignorant enough to insult those who claim they DID witness something "unusual".

I'm also not so egotistical to believe that the inhabitants of earth are the only living inhabitants in the entire universe. The most ignorant are those who close their minds to the possibility that there are things equal or bigger to themselves elsewhere than at the end of their own noses.

Why is it that no one is capable of the simple conclusion that its unknown? Be it a natural phenom or a spaceship or a govt experiment or the end of days? You jesus freaks have no evidence but your faith. UFO nuts have no evidence but their hope. Conspiracy buffs need to get out more, but seriously, ask questions, investigate but do not scream out that you know what it is when there is NO WAY YOU CAN! Until the giant saucer floats over the white house you all will sound like idiots if you continue saying you have proof. You diminish the actual study of this phenom with your barstool speculation.

Wind doesn't exist because I can't see it.

I wonder if aliens poop? I'm talking about the ones from space. I know the illegal ones do, they crap all over our great state of Texas.

To Mike:

Could you imagine what people would do if the government really did releae info that there are UFO's with aliens in them? There would be complete chaos and destruction. You would have people thinking "the end" is near, there would be people probably trying to end life for themselves out of fear. I guarantee that crime would go up. Wordly chaos!!

"Alalu, the deposed ruler of the Anunnaki on Nibiru"

they mined gold...??????to protect their atmosphere???????

LOL LOL LOL LOL

even kindergarten children aren't that gullible and stupid, are they? the distance from the sun of planet X?....how ridiculous. it would have to be freezing on that planet...

Aliens pooping? Sounds like a new FECES of alien!
Whew! Someone crack an ozone.
*rimshot*

A lot of people who have never visited Texas crapping on it. Must be jealously since it's full of intelligent people and plenty of oil money ! Don't hate us because were smarter, richer, and better looking than your hicks !

As for UFOs, never seen one. Until I do, then just a myth to me. I do believe in other life out there, just not convinced they would give a crap about a pathetic species like us.

Has anyone stopped to think that maybe its our own crafts. Airforce is testing all the time. It is more likely that we created this rather than from outerspace.

I see here that some don't believe that there could be life out there. Do you really think or believe that is true? Or better yet that our government tells the truth! How is this possible? To hear these comments makes me think we will never get past our own egos, where we will evolve into a more advance humanoid. We have seen so much in our time; it bakes me to know that we still have very closed minded people that only see what there told. I would bet that most of these people who don't believe never seen a million dollars. However we all do know that it exists. Evidence does exist for other life out there; it is just unfortunate that the governments do not believe that we can handle it. So they hide it from us. The funny part is that with some of the people comments, I can see why! I would bet these people are the same people that do not like change. Well, I do not believe our government for one. I do believe there is more to life then money and the illusion of control and I do believe that there is life beyond this small rock floating around a ball of gas.

Curt you sound like you just like talking....

"A lot of people who have never visited Texas crapping on it. Must be jealously since it's full of intelligent people and plenty of oil money ! Don't hate us because were smarter, richer, and better looking than your hicks !" "just not convinced they would give a crap about a pathetic species like us. " Can you say you and your ego need help! This is why you don't believe. It is not about you it is about belonging to something bigger. You are very narrow minded.

I live in Stephenville and I have lived in Erath county most of my life. I am now a Graduate student at Tarleton and I can't believe all the reports claiming that this is just a small redneck town. Sure we are know for Tarleton's Rodeo team and our dairy sales. But seriously you don't think we have camera phones. I guess I according you then I shouldn't go to school cause I am a woman and I should have been married a few years back and have about 3 kids right now, churn butter, make my own clothes, wear a bonnet and drive a horse and buggy everywhere. I hate to break it to ya but we have iPhones and Blackberries even the occasional laptop computer here in Stephenville. I don't know about UFOs but we certainly aren't living like it seems some people think we are. As some people have already mentioned there are many very wealthy people who live in Stephenville because they enjoy not having to worry about some of the bad that comes along with big city living.

One thing that will nearly always be a constant regarding UFO's is that many people won't believe- especially those that have not seen one, and that many people will believe in them- especially after they have seen one. I have seen a UFO and a great many others witnessed the same siting as well. It was not a bird, plane, or train, but simply an Un-Identified Flying-Object. I might add that there was over 200 calls on that same citing and that the metropolitan airport officials claimed to not know what it was as well. It must have been a conspiracy of 200 total strangers with nothing better to do than call in and ask what the "_ell is that thing".

UFO all those people saw this and no pictures HA

I'll see if I can pull some volunteers off the border and send them out there. Happy?

Despite the number of bias, arrogant and impertinent comments I read, I am still surprised to find the level of social disregard I have found in this blog. You who write such drivel about these "small town" people must feel very superior. What you are shouts so loudly in my ears, I cannot hear what you say...

Oh, come on guys; let's try a little imagination here. Does no one have anything useful or original to add to the discussion? How about this one for you... UFOs are real but they are not really quite as "alien" as some might think. You see, while we have been going about our daily lives on the surface of the planet we call earth, other advanced life forms have been steadily evolving and developing technologies of their own right in our midst. You see, as this blob of matter we call earth began to coalesce, gravity pulled at every atom causing the heavier elements to be drawn together. While the lighter elements were allowed to move away from the center of gravity to form our atmosphere, the heavier elements were naturally drawn toward the center. But the immense pressures exerted on the core caused a great deal of heat which resulted in the molten liquefaction and therefore expansion of these elements. As the outer surface of this mass began to cool, a sort of crust was formed and the outer atmosphere, made up of the lightest elements, was left relatively calm and stable. But internally, the planet was still in tremendous turmoil. You see, there was a problem with those elements at the center of the earth. The problem was that the heavier elements that were near the center had mass pulling at them outwardly toward the heavier elements that had formed the crust of the planet. As the lighter and heavier elements in the core separated a sort of inner atmosphere began to form. What made matters worse was the fact that the outward pressure of the elements being drawn away from the core eventually were slightly greater than the pressures coming from the outside in. This resulted in an unstable crust which slowly cracked open allowing heat and matter to escape the mounting pressure. Furthermore, it began the process of expanding the outer surface of the planet. As the crust broke open and separated, the old surface of the planet became what we now see as the continental shelves while the newer surfaces formed of the molten matter and cooled to form the ocean floors. Eventually, although there was still a tremendous amount of instability on the outer surface of the planet, internally the elements at the core of the planet came to equilibrium and life began to evolve. Eventually, some of the life forms were able to find their way to the outer surface of the planet where they still thrive today. Eventually, the higher life forms who hail from the inner earth developed the technology to escape the limitations of their caged existence. Meanwhile, the life forms on the outer hull had about as much understanding of their situation as a barnacle on the hull of a battleship. When the inner earth creature finally began to explore the outer earth those on the outside were somehow certain that they must be coming from somewhere "out there". Why would they assume this? Because it's the only place they had ever thought to look. And besides, they already "knew" that the earth had a molten core after all that is where God send the bad people...

To the writer who said Einstein believed that nothing can travel faster than the speed of light, the EPR (Einstein, Podolsky, Rosen)
paradox calls that into question.
