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.

I think people are to afraid to believe. Nasa did discover another sun. which I think they said was bigger and a billion years older. Why wouldnt we assume that there is life on another planet and they found us first. We all know if we find another living planet we would be visiting it too.
On another note anyone looking to better there health or have a home business check this website out. its free www.openinmass.com

It's hard to believe until you actually see one. I've driven right underneath a hovering object shaped like a classic flying saucer wider than an interstate highway. I don't smoke, drink, do drugs or anything harmful and that's the truth! I believe because I have to. And, there was no sound of any jet propulsion from this thing as it took off after I turned the car around to drive back underneath it. I had a friend with me who also saw it. I was only 20! NO HALLUCINATIONS HERE!

Yes, they are here. My daughter and I saw one around 12 yrs. ago. I was taking her to her g/f house, on a main Rd. I looked up and amungst the tree's, a city block long, was this oblong craft, Sitting perfectly still, SILENT, with many, many, illuminated windows.I pulled over to the sholder of the road, and my daughter and I sat their for about 15 mins. just looking at it. The {craft} was in the trees, AS if the tree's weren't even their. right through them!!! AMAZEING!!! ?? The one on G/M America this morning looked alot like the one we saw!!

Maybe it's some kind of promo for the upcoming Xfiles sequel due out this summer! ha ha

I hope that the FAA flight surgeon takes a long hard look at Mr Allen and his ability to fly an aircraft. This story gets hokier and hokier.

maybe the alians are gearing up to help us end the world in accordence with the end of the mayan calander.

Isn't the speed of light 2,000 miles per hour? How could anyone see something that was going 3,000 mph?
MarkJan 16th 2008 10:11PM
I'm no expert but 3,000 mph is more than 4 times the speed of sound. I think military jets would be eating its dust if they tried to chase it. Also, wouldn't a speed like that cause it to catch fire and burn up in the atmosphere?
RichardJan 16th 2008 10:11PM
James says:
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
-------------------------------------------------
COME ON JAMES, THINK MAN...IF WE HAD SOMETHING THAT SIZE AND CAPABLE OF 3000 MPH SPEEDS, DO YOU REALLY THINK IT WOULD NEED AN ESCORT BY PUNY LITTLE F16s ???? Get with the program Jimmy.
DebbieJan 16th 2008 10:12PM
if there were military jets chasing after it then why don't the military people flying the planes say something about what they saw? or have pictures?

With a possible 100 billion planets like Earth conservatively calculated to exist in the known universe, there are inhabitants on many of them. I don't believe in UFO's but there are aliens out there (from Earth's viewpoint). It's just that, we haven't seen them just like they haven't seen us either. If we both met on a baseball field, both entities would likely die of fright - OR - run together and hug in a great big love fest.
Then, there is the possibility that the movie "Alien" is right on the money and we most likely would all die from such an encounter.

I seriously saw the same thing a few years back, just as described in this article, it was about the size of a football field, with lights on the perimeter, and hovered, then took off so fast, but I cannot say if it was 3,000 MPH or not, I am not sure how fast, but it was fast.I still think it could have beena govt. craft, it also did not make a sound, and I couldn't believe something so huge, could make no sound!!! No, I wasn't doing drugs, or drinking, I had a friend in the car w/ me who saw everything I did, so there was another witness. ASpparently, a few days later, it was in the paper, in fishkill, NY. Over 100 people had seen a UFO.
DONNA S.Jan 16th 2008 10:14PM
After all, Isn't Nasa trying to find life on other planets? Why do you think our own Gov. would spend Billions of DOLLARS, if they weren't sure? Astranaut, Armstrong, has even said that while he was in Space, they observed UFO'S watching them!! Read his web site.

President Bush says I have some good news and some bad news, first the bad news we've been invaded by aliens(nothing new, illegal aliens have been invading us for years) now for the good news they eat liberals and piss gasoline. LOL

ufo,s have been sited for thousands of yrs. read all about extra ! extra ! "The book of ezekiel" in the holy scripture.bye! bye! zoom!zoom ! God.
Mary JonesJan 16th 2008 10:20PM
I saw a UFO 12 years ago and was laughed to scorn, so-no more to say on that. I saw a docu- mentary on TV which explained what would happen to us if the gov'ts were to 'fess up. Panic/dread
agricultural/financial/technological collapse, the need for revenge, abandonment, terror on a scale never before known, apostacy, total world
wide chaos. Don't you think it's better if we don't know? Ignorance can be bliss.
wabJan 16th 2008 10:24PM
denial of truth and tastimonials feed ignorance and enable deception. please continue to maintane a closed mind, we all prosper from that approach.

funny 20 yrs ago you were considered "nuttier than a fruitcake" if you believed in life on other planets...nowdays? you are "nutier than a fruitcake" if you think were the only life among a kabillion and counting planets,stars etc.....
boJan 16th 2008 10:42PM
