The Texas Sightings

Thursday January 17, 2008
Virgil Fowler, TexasUnless you have been under a rock somewhere lately, you have heard about the recent coverage of multiple UFO sightings in Texas. This series of sightings have been on a par with the O'Hare Airport UFO reports of 2006. MUFON investigators will descend on the Texas city of Stephenville this coming weekend to begin an investigation into the matter.

They will be interviewing only eyewitnesses, and seeking out answers to where the UFOs were seen, their size, shape, altitude, and attempt to obtain any multimedia of the event. So far, there has been only one video taken of a UFO over Texas, and that was over Lake Travis in Austin, which, as the crow flies, or should I say as the UFO flies, is not that far from Stephenville. This video, from which several frame grabs have been extracted, was taken by one Virgil Fowler. You can see a small duplication of it at the top right of this blog. You can see the entire video and more photographs at the FOX News report that carried the original film.

In the last 3-4 days, I have received about 25 sighting reports from Texas, mostly from the area around Stephenville, but you can always count on a large number of sighting reports to follow an event such as the one in Stephenville. It is very difficult at this time to ascertain how many of these were spawned by the imagination, an increased number of people watching the skies, or both. However, many of these do follow the general pattern of reports from the Stephenville area. I will post more on these sightings by the first part of next week, but basically, the reports that got the media attention were made by pilots. Two different aviators reported an unknown object up to a mile long, and half as wide, and followed by military aircraft. Naturally, the government denies that any of their craft were in the air at the time of the reports. Sound familiar to you?

Thanks Bill,
What is often times buried in the rush for a photo/video from these cases is the fine detail some witnesses report on the object. L. Howe has interviewed the “welder” who watched it go right over his head while he was hunting.. His detailed description the object that took up the entire sky from a welders point of view is another prime example that these objects are technological in a sense, and those who label it metaphysical lack imagination of what a true advanced technology could achieve.

There are two kinds of people reporting UFOs. One type will have films of some kind and will work the media for whatever it is worth. The other type will say to you yes, I saw a UFO but I would rather not talk about it and walk away. This type knows they have everything to lose and nothing to gain that impresses me. They may come from different sides of the world and yet describe the flying saucer identically.

If you visit my channel on youtube.com you will a video that was sent to me that I have posted with the clearest view of the Stephenville UFO. It kind of looks like a giant blimp and in another video you can see knightrider like lights strobing across the bottom. I hope we figure this one out because if it is not our military then we need to stop who ever is invading our skies if it is another country. If it is not a earthly invader then we should admit what it is to the public.

I am glad you are keeping up with these sitings and keeping us informed. One point needs to be made. Maybe they are not “invading” us. But are wise enough to stay out of reach because we are so agressive.We want to capture and make them do what we want them to do. The government isn’t going to share any info with lay folks because for them it is all about having the power over them as well as us.Keeping us UNinformed is to their advantage. Information is power.

These are comets, not UFOs, they come from the kuiper belt. Our SDI defense system is supposed to do a decent job of shooting them before they hit ground.

compare satellite images of stephenville, TX, minnesota that just got hit, area51, large parts of germany, france,ukraine,poland. England.
There were no world wars!, they were all comet-like, nuclear explosions. our jet pilots are suicide pilots.

The photo of the mysterious black spot in the middle of the Sun is an extremely common photographic phenomenon. It’s caused by the light receiving elements in the digital camera being overloaded. When they do this, they turn black. Try taking a picture of the sun yourself sometime. Voila — black UFO in the centre.
