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.

UFo stands for Unidentified Flying Object. It does NOT mean alien spaceship! If someone sees something up in the sky and doesn't know what it is, it is correctly defined as a UFO.
Now, something traveling at 3000 mph will not be easily seen; that is 300 times as fast as the fastest moving car. That, people, will cause any camera's image to be a streak of cloud, at best.
Please, if you will, stop assuming you know what you are talking about, and call it as it is: "I saw something up there, I don't know what it is, it was moving too fast to see it clearly, much less know how big it is or whether it had bright lights. All I know, I saw something..."
There may be intelligent life out there, but we will not ever know until one actually parks in a field, someone or something gets out, and burbles, "Hey, where can I get fuel from corn for this thing?"

Oh, and BTW, I'm not saying all those "sightings" are wrong, but I am saying that people shouldn't start describing them as alien spaceships. They are unidentified, flying, objects. They could be distant satellites shifting positions. Or they could be something else. AS I said, the world will NEVER really know until someone actually gets live video of it landing, and something coming out.

Give me a break! Can't you people come up with a BETTER story than this??? A mile long, but NOBODY else saw it? Perfectly taken pictures as the thing casually cruised around the nieghborhood? I think my 10 year-old daughter could make up something better than this!

Isn't it funny how the unusual and odd sequences always seem to bring out the "ha ha" sophomoric crowd? It's like they don't have lives unless there is something they can ridicule or pooh pooh in oblivion. SOPHOMORES FOREVER!!!!!!!!!

Well now, I hope it is from another planet and I hope we get the right information on it and get on with life as we know it....and learn in the process. I am up for it. They know about us. It's time we knew about them.....don't-cha think? sb

FYI for TRISTAN - the space shuttle was traveling at 14,000mph as it was coming over Florida for it's landing...
I am a perfectly normal sane woman, and have seen 2 UFO's. Once in the 70's, living near Wright Patterson AFB, home of Hangar 18. On a cold Nov. night, it just hung over my house. No sound, only lights rotating around the sides of a saucer shaped object. It was at treetop level. When I ran to get my family, it zoomed away at incredible speeds.In the 90's, a HUGE V-shape object in the sky, miles away, over the Gulf of Mexico, at dusk. Lights twinkled in the bottom. A plane would have been a dot at this distance. This was as big as a cigarette pack. Aliens or reverse technology? If it's our government, they're not going to admit it.

This same picture was put on the internet a short while ago, but the UFO sighting was in California. I DOUBT that it would be the exact picture and be true.

I believe it. There are other worlds out there for sure so why not.

For the people that are sceptic's about UFO's or would just like to read something an intelligent non-millitary person wrote about his personal knowledge of these crafts [CARET PROGRAM ("CARET" stands for “Commercial Applications Research for Extra-terrestrial Technology”)] that are being viewed in our atmosphere, go to coasttocoastam.com and read Isaac's UFO briefing titled "Explaination of Recent "Strange Craft" sightings. This person [ Isaac (not his actual name)] seems to know what some of you are viewing. You can go further and read up on anti-gravity theories which can give more insight on the different types of anti-gravity. I found this to be quite and eye opener although have known the government/ millitary have the technology that is 50 years ahead of what they have told civilians because of my father that worked on some of the electrical designs for some of the projects that were used, although none of which that deal in these crafts being seen of this time frame.

Ummmm...I did think about it, and the answer is you're 100% wrong and don't know what you're talking about.
The nearest star is Proxima Centuri, which is approx 4 light years away. Traveling at the speed of light would take * 4 YEARS * to get there (or get to here from there), NOT over 4,008 years as you so claim (it would be 4,008 years from 2,000 BC to
today. So, you're only off by 2,004 YEARS.
Close (not), but no cigar.
Try actually studying about the things you write about. You wouldn't look so foolish if you did. Same with the poster who wrote that the spped of light is 2,000 MPH (when it's 186, 000 miles PER SECOND). There's a bunch of morons posting here.

You might wanna try spell check yourself. Just look at your own mistakes:
1. "4" should be "for"
2. "thats" should be "that's"
3. "i" should be "I"
4. "chech" should be "check"
5. "u" should be "You"
6. "alian" should be "alien"
7. "aught" should be "ought"
and
8. "4" should be "for"
Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. Go back to school, kid, and stop correcting others when you can't even write at a 4th grade level. Punk.

Uh....did you ever take math in school. The fastest production car goes about 200mph.
So, 3,000 mph would be *15X* as fast as that car. (Not 300X as fast. If that were the case, you car would only be travelling at 10 mph)
Geez...the stupidity here just boggles the mind.

Why is it that UFO's and aliens always seem to go to Texas? Is it the heat?
jale3Apr 10th 2008 2:34PM
It is not hard to guess who they are coming for ; it is the BIG
HBC !!! (Hillary, Bill and Chelsea) Somebody has to quietly tell
this people they are good people but have occupied the media
long enough now pack up and go when the little green men find them . There is plenty of good deeds they could be doing
like in Africa or some needy place where they can shine .
Enough is enough.

"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.
