Helicopters Surround UFOs in Texas

Wednesday January 23, 2008
Here is a very intriguing report that comes to us from Houston, Texas. On January 2, a man and his daughter were heading to the gym to work out, when the daughter suddenly remarked, "What is that?" The father looked up into the sky as he was driving, and noticed several bright objects that resembled the shape of stars. They were changing colors.

The objects were simply hovering in one location, and unbelievably there were about 10 helicopters which had the unknown objects surrounded. This reminders me of the Piney Woods case, which, coincidentally also occurred in Texas. Later that night, he called the local news outlets, but none of them had any knowledge of the event, and he was sure the helicopters must have been military.

The sighting lasted several minutes, and the man pulled off the road to watch what was happening in the skies above Houston. There were a number of other cars on the road, and several of them had also pulled to the side to watch the events above. Pressed for time, the man and his daughter finally drove on to the gym, and wondered how the story ended. They could find nothing on any of the news outlets in their area about the sighting for the next several days.

Last year on the night of the 25th of January i was with my step-dad, we came back from the local hospital where my mum had just given birth to my baby brother, and as we were walking towards to house from the driveway I saw something like a stereotypical UFO but i thought it would be like a air balloon or something but as I pointed it out to my step-dad we were surprised because it had flashy things like lights. Now, i’m not really a believer in the para-normal, nor am I too religious, but this seemed very strange, especially considering that when i was small i remember seeing something like a UFO but that memory has kind of faded away because of everyone disagreeing.

Billy, I read your article on the Cash-Landrom incident. I have one thing to say about that. That’s just wrong, wrong, wrong!!!
It hurts my heart for people to suffer like that and the government to not even care enough to admit we have a situation here… well, it’s just wrong! So sad.

Has anyone watched the Weather Channel Satellites images. Periodically a few times a year I’ll get a image from my Weather Watcher program and the image will have a line traveling in an arch matching the earths curvature all the way from Mexico to the islands off of Alaska. I’m not sure what it is but I’d like to know.

Under the heading of Here Comes The Coverup: Now the official word up is that there were military planes doing maneuvers in the area of the sightings. This, of course, after an initial report that there were no military planes in the area at the time of the sightings. Maybe there were some military craft chasing a UFO, seems there was a report about that. How stupid does our government think we are?

Taht made me laugh too when they siad it was jets. I think we all know what jets look like plus a jet formation is not a mile long with only 10 of them.

The similarity between this reported encounter and the Cash-Landrum incident is striking. If for no other reason, this event is noteworthy.

Has there been any corroboration of this sighting from other witnesses in the Houston area?

today I saw an object apparently falling from the sky. It was very large, bigger than any jet. It left two streaks in the sky, similar to the exhaust from a jet but two separate streams and much larger. It was travelling very fast towards the north. Quickly it turned, changed direction and headed east while still falling. I called CNN and Houston news. I have sent them a poor picture taken with my phone that does show the exhaust like streak it left in the sky. I was on phone with my father while arching it and while searching the sky for it saw several fighter jets fly past towards the direction of the object (east) this was in Houston. I was driving east on i10.
