"Momma's in the basement mixing up some medicine I'm on the pavement thinking about the govenment" Bob DylanMUFON's Journal published results of the organization's findings on the detailed reports from 70 witnesses in Texas in its April 2008 issue. Bottom line: the vast majority of witnesses who reported to MUFON were regular people just wanting to get answers about what they saw. Of the many people who reported UFOs, 2 were found to be hoaxers. Amazing! You'd think with all the screams out there on You-Tube and debunker land, it'd be closer to 70.There were almost as many UFO reports from the two Texas counties --Stephenville and Dublin-- in January and February in 2008 as in all of 2007, according to the only ones who are doing any data collection...our own good UFO organizations.Notably, MUFON's investigation found there were two "official" daylight sightings reporting a "large craft gray in color", silent and moving at a high rate of speed. Many Texas reports were similar to those logged around the world, featuring large sequential blinking lights in the sky. Also notable about the Stephenville sightings is how many witnesses came forward with old reports. I guess they felt it was finally safe to do so. This factor of multiple, belated UFO reports --indicating many pre-existing UFO sightings from the region-- is in itself important, no matter how you slice it.MUFON was not able to get written reports from the local Police Officers, just verbal descriptions. So what did these trained observers report? Three officers who gave accounts describe a large "craft", gray in color with red strobe lights on the top. The two officers who were outside at the time reported the craft they observed was silent.Of this investigation, 18 reports are unknown, with five still under investigation. They still have 100 continuing UFO sighting reports around the Dublin area. So the Great Stephenville UFO Incident of 2008 is not over because the press calls it over.Not all the UFOs were of the same type. I like this one:"At 6:50 AM on January 11, James Beatty had a close encounter...he saw bright white lights coming over a hill, on the opposite side of the dam...hugging the shore line...it was delta shaped...black and gray in color...approached to about 30 to 50 yards away... no bigger then a 1978 Thunderbird...rear was rectangle with three large round openings in its side. No apparent thrust nor fire...extended canopy running three quarters of the way down the fuselage. It was metallic as well. The bottom looked like it had panel lines, it had three non-blinking white lights under it. It made no sound at all."Just a reminder to the " well... it's only lights in the sky" bunch, CRAFT is the term three trained observers used to describe their daylight sighting.For all you secret government test flight fanatics: why would the government be flying a huge, top-secret craft, near paranoid George's ranch, in daylight?And finally for all of you "why in the world would aliens fly a trillion miles to go to Texas?" theoreticians: it's called bases. Try to think ahead!David Coram Video. Seen on "Alien Hunters" episode Diagrams In The Sky, this one's still an enigma. MUFON Journal reported Dr. Bruce Maccabee and others wanted to find the light source but "time restraints" kept them from going to the original spot. So until that is done, I can't go with Maccabee's conclusion, that what was captured was just a camera effect combined with atmospheric conditions and an out-of-focus star. David Coram's grandchild, who was first to point out this strange light source, was drawn to it and asked his grandfather about the "lightening" in the sky. He saw that movement with the unaided eye. DVD AGNELIA JOINER (FIRED JOUNALIST) "THE GOOD THE BAD with some work it can be a great show and help the larger effort validating the witnesses to these phenomenon and according witnesses their much deserved...and overdue respect. I don't like the idea of offering money to witnesses for UFO video. The practice opens up a can of worms and does nothing to help the credibility of sightings or witnesses.I still wonder how many people never reported what they saw.Joseph CappUFO Media Matters
