Dozens of UFO reports from small Texas town

Lots More at UFO

In [Stephensville, Texas a small] farming community where nightfall usually brings clear, starry skies, residents are abuzz over reported sightings of what many believe is a UFO. Several dozen people — including a pilot, county constable and business owners — insist they have seen a large silent object with bright lights flying low and fast. Some reported seeing fighter jets chasing it.

…Steve Allen, a freight company owner and pilot…said the object he saw last week was a mile long and half a mile wide. “It was positively, absolutely nothing from these parts.”

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. They also said the object’s lights changed configuration, unlike those of a plane. People in several towns who reported seeing it over several weeks have offered similar descriptions of the object.

……………………………

There are about 200 reported UFO sightings in the US per year. Most sightings apparently go unreported for fear of ridicule.
