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.

Maybe it was the Vulcans looking for Zephraim Cochrane. They're just a few years too soon.

That could have easily been something that someone built like the planes you can buy with the remote controls, but if it was going so fast how were people able to even take pictures, is it possible to even see something that fast. Maybe ufo's are out there but then again the military is always coming out with new technology and trying to cover it up so it coulda been something that they were testing, but then if they were it would have been at a secluded site where people couldnt witness it. So who knows, i personally think it was just a controlled aircraft that someone built. It looks like it has antennas on it for something. They dont explain what happened, did it just dissapear, did it fly up or did the military jets get ahold of it. If they thought it was a threat dont you think they would have shot it down or issued a warning or something.

okay its a UFO and its a mile wide and half a mile long, i belive it or sort of, the goverment hides most of their info from us so yeah i guess that if they sent f-16s after it then it must not be from here,or so it would seem right? But on the video i watched on youtube it said that no us planes were launched from the airbase that day, soo there is a frad in it somewhere, anyone want to talk about this with me message me at msn its redneck-234 thanks for you time reading this

3000mph is 50 miles in a minute so that wouldn't give much chance to see it, we (humans) have aircraft capable of this speed so maybe the alien ship was going slow so the escort could keep up. I love the way americans describe how close they are to something "i could have shot it". and space ships aren't deamons, aliens are probably behind the myth of god though.
I hope there is intelligent life somewhere in the universe because there is bugger all down here on earth.
