UFOs in Texas Confirmed in Area of Bush Ranch

Monday July 14, 2008
Last Thursday, MUFON released an incredibly comprehensive report on the Stephenville, Texas sightings of earlier this year. The report, a 5.5 megabyte .PDF file, primarily focuses on the radar data of the January 8 sightings. All of the data was obtained via Freedom of Information requests, and surprisingly, UFOs were confirmed!

Credit for this great report should be given to MUFON investigators, Glen Schulze and Robert Powell. They provide proof that several non-military flying objects were in the region that night. The radar data matches eyewitness accounts, and also confirms more than normal military plane activity that night. It has been speculated that military activity was directly related to the UFOs being near the no-fly zone which protects the area in and around the Crawford, Texas, Bush ranch.

A good article from writer Steve Hammons on the MUFON report can be read at UFOs over Stephenville Neared Bush Ranch, According to New Report.

The report can be downloaded free at the MUFON web site.

It doesn’t make one difference to professional sceptics, aka deniers. They will say it’s more likely a combination of military exercise accidently off course, a meteor shower passing in front of Venus, and false radar signal bouncing off 2 satellites, a seagull and their own arses before reaching the radar dish.

Oh yea and not to forget sceptics would also argue it must be a ‘mass hallucination’ since it’s impossible to travel across the galaxy to get here and so could not have happened.

Just to add even if there are flaws with multidimentional and string theories, they could still get here at less than speed of light. Human tech will soon be able to accelerate up to around 0.9c and decelerate. Advanced AI technology or generation ships, (check wikipedia if you don’t know what they are) are possible even if trips take 100k years. Drawbacks include more time passing elsewhere than on the journey, and you would have to be converted into a zero mass light wave for transmission.

These links show recent experiments to prove light can travel faster than the ’speed of light.’ Maybe one day we will construct a long fibre optic cable and beam someone to another star system thru’ it!

whats going on seems like everyones laying down on this one 2100mph down to 49mph a 1000ft long unconventional moves 10 planes confirmed scramble from carswell afb radar confirmed most of you guys get excited about a weather balloon this aint no balloon that story is 60 years old we dont have any debunkers still living now lets get to the bottom of this before the men in black show up

i think everyone is laying down on this one mufon says 2100mph down to 49 mph in seconds dfw paper says it was probably a herrier lived here almost 20 years never seen a herrier in the area i didnt think that plane could do mach 3+ i was working at dfw airport that night if something broke the sound barrier 3 times i would have been all over it

To Rob in Texas;;
If you don’t think an airplain will do Mach3+, I have one word for you “SR-71″ it will do somewhere around that speed. The slowing down to 49mph would be a problem!
As for something going over the speed of light,,, we can’t PROVE it till we can go a lot faster than we can now!

John, you make some excellent points and I heartily endorse them.

The problem with the idea that ET’s couldn’t visit us because “nothing travels faster than light” is tantamount to a statement attributed to an un-named 19th century “expert”: “Everything has already been invented”. Were that gentleman alive today, he would be having a very full meal on his words.

The same applies to those who flatly deny the possibility of ET visitations because we don’t know of any technology which would allow them to get here with any facility. This attitude is both egocentric and self-aggrandizing, and is plain foolish. Civilizations which have had tens of thousands, if not millions, of years’ head start on us will no doubt possess technology that totally defies our very limited knowledge.

The nay-sayers would do well to keep more open minds and not try to put everything in a box of their own making.

IF contributors like “John” paid any attention to their lack of writing skills (ie 5 lines within one sentence!!), I’d be more likely not to dismiss such a one as a juvenile. And kids do not persuade me too far in matters like this. Uneducated people are more likely to stretch the truth.
