Texas UFO Sighting Has Local Town Talking

The Stephenville Texas UFO was reportedly seen by dozens of people as the locals claim to have seen a large metal object with bright lights flying low and fast.  Some say they saw fighter jets chasing the UFO.

“It is the talk of the town right now” says Angela Joiner, a local newspaper reporter.

While town officials search for a logical explanation such as an army aircraft, residents say the UFO was too big, too quiet, and flew too low to the ground to be a plane.

A Joint Reserve Naval Air Station spokesman says that an aircraft from the base were in the area on January 8, when the bulk of UFO sightings were reported.  He also mentioned that the UFO might just be an optical illusion created by two commercial planes.

A freight company owner who saw the UFO, Steve Allen, said "People wonder what in the world it is because this is the Bible Belt, and everyone is afraid it's the end of times," He claims that the UFO he saw last week was a mile long and half a mile wide. "It was positively, absolutely nothing from these parts."

Fourteen percent of Americans were surveyed last year stating that they have seen a UFO before.

According to the Mutual UFO Network, California, Colorado and Texas receive about 200 UFO sightings per month.

The Mutual UFO Network plans to visit the town to investigate the Stephenville UFO.
