Stephenville, Texas UFO Revealed?

US military officials are now saying that they did have fighter jets on a routine training mission in the area of Stephenville, Texas on January 8^th, the night dozens of residents report seeing weird lights in the sky that they thought was a UFO. The military had originally said that they did not have any jets in that area, that night, but are now changing their story.

The Naval Air Reserve Base in Forth Worth, Texas is now saying that 10 F-16 fighter jets, made by Lockheed Martin, were training in the area around Stephenville, which is about 70 miles southwest of the base.

Despite this information, many of the witnesses are sticking to their beliefs. In fact, many of those who witnessed the strange event in the skies over Stephenville say that this is proof that they saw something extraordinary, since most of the witnesses claim to have seen fighter jets chasing the object that they saw.

"This supports our story that there was UFO activity in that area," Kenneth Cherry, the Texas director of the Mutual UFO network, said. "I find it curious that it took them two weeks to 'fess up. I think they're feeling the heat from the publicity."

The witness in Stephenville insist that what they saw traveled lower, faster and quieter than anything they have ever seen on earth.

"I guarantee that what we saw was not a civilian aircraft," Steve Allen, a pilot and local business owner, said Wednesday.

Allen also insists that the training area for jets in the Brownwood Operating Area is not the airspace in which he saw the object.

Another local business owner, Anne Frazor, said that many of the residents of the town have seen military aircraft in their area before, but that what they saw on January 8^th was not the same.

Since the original reporting of the possible UFO sighting several weeks ago, the small town of Stephenville, Texas, that has a population of 17,000, has grown very large with those looking to catch a glimpse of what some claim to have seen.

Some high school students are even having some fun with their town's newfound fame. They made t-shirts that say "Stephenville: The New Roswell" on the front with the slogan "They are here for the milk" on the back. The shirt also features a picture of a flying saucer beaming a cow up to the ship.
