UFO Sighted in Texas?

Re: UFO Sighted in Texas?

It doesn't even have to do with communication.

How do dozens of people mistake a mile long, mile wide silent UFO....for ten F-16's. Last I checked, F-16's weren't silent.

My brother is a United States Army helicopter pilot. He's served in Afghanistan, and won the Army Aviator of the year award last year. I called him and asked if he'd ever heard of a training mission involing a group of ten aircraft. My father was also in the Air Force.

Both of them agreed that it was unheard of (could be possible, who knows) to have a group of TEN pilots training together at the same time. It is usually a group of two to four pilots in one group at a time. Never have they heard of ten aircraft flying together at the same time, in a training mission.

It's amazing how much balls the Government has.

You emphasized the fact that the military FORGOT. My point was to emphasize that that kind of oversight isn't unheard of.

Your brother is a helicopter pilot in the Army......so? That's rotary wing and not fixed wing. The only air assets the Army has are rotary wing. Don't want to burst your bubble, but the two services train differently.

And how long ago was your father in the Air Force. We've had time to adjust our TTP's since then I'm sure. Was he even a pilot?

1. I'm not saying the F-16's werent there. I am saying that's not what these people saw. The F-16's very well could have been there...but they were following what these people saw. They weren't up there for a training mission.

2. Flying is flying. No group of aircraft, fixed wing or not, fly with ten others on a training mission at night. Maybe if it was a huge training mission, I could see it being possible. But this was not a huge mission. For one, the Military wouldn't forget about a huge training mission of that size for two weeks (probably would ). Two, the mission does not make sense in relation to what these people saw.

Also, my dad wasn't a pilot. He was a mechanic, he worked on the jets, but that doesn't mean he didn't know how things went. Hell, I've never been in the Military, but I know that the government wouldn't send ten F-16's out at night to work on a training mission. Not ten. Two to four, but not ten.

Re: UFO Sighted in Texas?

I will say that the article never said if all ten were out at the same time. It's entirely possible they just meant ten over the duration of the night. Meaning they went in groups of two; so that possibility still works.

But, that still doesn't account for the whole "silent" issue. Nor does it account for what people claim to have seen. I'm sure these people know what F-16's look like. It just doesn't make sense.

I'm not going to debate whether or not UFO's exist, but what makes more sense:

1. UFO's continually revisit the same area of the U.S. over and over again?

or

2. Those same areas just happen to have a plethora of military bases around them and even Area 51 isn't too far away so it stands to reason that it is some kind of aircraft?

I went to the university located in that town. The only other time stephenville was in national news was because a fraternity threw a fried chicken and malt liquor party for martin luther king jr day and they were all dressed up black face. Racism and UFO's.....Mmmm my degree is looking awesome.

That's where I plan on going to college because my bro works and lives down there. It was funny how much media attention this got, and how they failed to mention there were actually black people at the party.

I can agree if the UFO's are military operated, but why fly over populated areas consistently??? There is tons of vast, unpopulated land out there.

1. UFO's visit everywhere. There have been sightings all around the world, not just in the southwest United States. There have also been sightings before the United States ever existed. This isn't new stuff.

2. Like ThreeKing said, why would our government fly secret aircraft over populated areas? You'd think if they didn't want you to know about it, they would try and fly over deserted areas.

It happens. Don't have to look any further than the F-117 crash near Bakersfield in 1986, before the government really acknowledged the F-117 even existed.

I never said they didn't visit other places. I asked why that area (the Southwest U.S.) sees more than the average.

Go to youtube or Google "Fife Symington".

All I'm saying is there is no way 100% of all UFO sightings since the late 1930's are human built, human operated. There is just no way.

What about credible, military pilots with impeccable service records back in the 1940's and 1950's who encountered "fast, sleek moving objects that performed and manuvered at super high rates of speed"????

Google "Battle of Los Angeles"

Google "J Allen Hynek"

There is so much info out there.

I went through this in the last thread. I'd give links and examples, but the "non-believers" would brush it off and tell me they don't have the time to look anything up. I truly believe the non-believers won't believe unless a UFO lands on the White House lawn. Too many people are too close-minded to change their mind without 100% non-refutable proof.

This has always been an interesting subject for me. I know all about the Battle of LA, and many of the other "sightings"

When something credible breaks, I'll be first in line to believe. I just haven't seen anything credible. Not to mention in todays day and age especially why isn't there any high quality footage or photographic evidence.

I won't even get in to the physics piece that makes travel here from another planet seem particularly difficult to buy in to.

Re: UFO Sighted in Texas?

I believe there's life on other planets but I'm just not sure if an alien spacecraft has visited before. If one has hopefully there will be non refutable proof sometime soon enough.
