Possible UFO Spotted Over Texas, Chased By F16s
Wondering how yesterday's MacBook Air got so thin? Some, of course, think it was just the result of decades of research by Apple techies. We think we have a better explanation, though: alien technology. Don't believe us? According to the Stephenville Empire-Tribune, several witnesses say they spotted something mysterious in the air over Texas last night. Said unidentified flying object (UFO) was traveling at an estimated 3,000 miles per hour while being chased by military jets!
One of the witnesses, a pilot named Steve Allen, indicated that the alleged craft was difficult to see, but based on the lights that appeared to be on the edges of the thing, Allen estimated it to be about one mile long and a half-mile wide.
The lights went from corner to corner. It was directly above Highway 67 traveling towards Stephenville at a high rate of speed - about 3,000 miles per hour is what I would estimate.No mention of how thin this thing was, but it would have had to have been a large craft to be sure, and a fast one, something we certainly don't have in our military -- at least not that we're aware of anyhow.
No comment from Apple, for whatever that's worth.

"Possible" UFO sighting? Last time I checked, UFO stood for Unidentified Flying Object. So unless someone identified it, it was a UFO sighting, period. How about "possible" alien space craft sighting, "possible" flying saucer sighting, definitely a UFO sighting.

WOW, where is Dennis Kucinich when we need him!

OK, I'm not sure about this one. If it's a mile long, how high off the ground is it supposed to be? I don't know what kind of things that human technology has come up with that would fly, since the general public may not be shared that information, but that doesn't look like something that we could make and expect it to fly. And, aren't most sitings at night time anyway? (I said most here-not all) I just don't know about this. If the thing was being chased by military jets, then they would know if it is from this planet or not, so I think I'll wait for conformation from the government before I really dwell on it any more.

according to histery,do you really think the "officials" would be truthful?
it would take an ego the size of texas to even dream that our superior intelect is the leading life form of all time.(IF SO,WE ARE LEADING THE PACK WITH A VERY SORRY EXAMPLE FOR THOSE WHO FOLLOW)!!!!!

I want to believe in UFO's...but any alien with any sense would hightail the hell away from this planet. I really think that this planet Could take enough time from their squabbled ( a la "Independence Day") that we would pull together and blow them back to where they came from...at which point we would then resume our Allah vs God bulls**t. I'm a Christian; however, I view a religious war with killing of innocent people as a way to 72 virgins and Paradise as the ultimate obscenity.
Tristan @ Jan 16th 2008 8:49PM
I'm not saying that there isn't a ufo, but at 3000 mph and people were runing inside to get there kids, that don't leave mutch time.
James @ Jan 16th 2008 8:49PM
Those jets were not chasing this thing, they were escorting it. Our military has weapons and flying objects you cannot even dream of. I am told they are 50 years ahead of anything ordinary people can even imagine.
jim @ Jan 16th 2008 8:50PM
Maybe it is finding a spot to land until Dennis Kucinich can board and go back home.
PERRY @ Jan 16th 2008 8:53PM
All kidding aside...Does anyone here own or know what a dictionary is?
kathryn @ Jan 16th 2008 8:54PM
I think it would be stupid of us to believe that there are not things out there in the universe that are more intelligent and/or different than us earthlings.....arrogant at the least.
Carol @ Jan 16th 2008 8:55PM
They are for real folks. If you choose not to believe you'll have a rude awakening one day. I've seen them, and close enough to have shot it with a hand gun. I had witnesses, but due to people being so skeptical what's the use in reporting them, just to have the non believers call you nuts. Some times they've been around where I've lived in numerous residences in Kentucky with more than 50 witnesses which drove to the apartment I lived at, at that time as well as the State Trooper which reported it. Do you really think our government is going to release the truth, come one folks.

Maybe UFO's are a reality beyond what we understand -- like bacteria in the 19th century or atomic energy in the 20th century -- perhaps they can operate as an energy and transform into matter at will and that is why we see them only intermittently -- ghost function in the same way. Skeptics are made up of the same naysayers who ridiculed the Wright brothers ane Robert Fulton and thousand of other forward thinking people. Ultimate irony?? the people who scoff at UFO's believe in God?? Is he matter or energy?
