Headlines: UFO Invasion in Texas

The end of the world approaches, first target: Stephenville, Texas. This rural community has been plagued by visits from a low flying, brightly-lit object that runs silently across the night sky, bewildering the lowly humans that witness its flight.

Steve Allen, a freight company owner and pilot reported that the object was a mile long and a half mile wide, “It was positively, absolutely nothing from these parts,” he said. Other locals who saw the aircraft swear that it was larger, quieter, faster and lower to the ground than a terrestrial aircraft.

The January 8, 2008 appearance of the craft was possibly not the first. Ricky Sorrells said that he has seen the object on more than one occasion as it hovered over his pasture near his home. On one occasion, Sorrells watched the UFO through his rifle’s telescopic lens and describes the object as being very large and without seams, nuts or bolts.

Maj. Karl Lewis, a spokesman for Forth Worth Naval Air Station, stated that there were no aircraft from his base in the area on the night in question. “I’m 90 percent sure this was an airliner,” Lewis said, “With the sun’s angle, it can play tricks on you.” The two neighboring Air Force bases also report that none of their aircraft were in the area last week.

Erath County Constable Lee Roy Gaitan saw the event and attempted to examine the craft through binoculars. He was able to see the rapidly moving lights but was unable to focus on the object to which the lights were attached. “I didn’t see a flying saucer and I don’t know what it was, but it wasn’t an airplane, and I’ve never seen anything like it.”

So keep your eyes on the sky Texas, we are counting on you to raise the alarm when the space aliens arrive to eat our brains.
