Witnesses have reported several dozen sightings of UFO's last week in Stephenville Texas. They claim to have seen a very large craft with strange flashing lights, and traveling low and faster than an airplane. Many said they spotted fighter jets chasing the object. The incident occurred on January 8th.
Federal officials say there is a logical explanation, such as lights reflecting off passing planes. The object may have been an illusion caused by two commercial airplanes, said Major Karl Lewis, a spokesman for the 301st Fighter Wing at the Joint Reserve Base Naval Air Station in Fort Worth.Lewis explained that lights from the aircraft would seem unusually bright and may appear orange from the setting sun. But residents are not convinced. They say it was absolutely nothing from these parts.
The phenomenon has attracted the attention of UFO fans who plan to descend on Stephenville, Saturday.
