As previously mentioned I attended an informal pot luck in the Milwaukee area last Sunday where one of the "official" topics of gossip, er... discussion, revolved around the recent UFO sightings down in Stephenville, Texas. According to Donald Schmitt, who has seen some of the transcripts, the following tidbits have come out.
The object was witnessed by numerous individuals, probably hundreds or more. Witnesses interviewed (at least those who were willing to be interviewed, so far) have allowed the investigators to compile a decent approximation of the object's size, shape and altitude. It was hovering extremely low to the ground, perhaps only a hundred feet or so. It was circular in shape with a very bright light emanating from its center. Apparently, and I'm not sure I got this correct, it would appear that each witness saw the same circular "shape", where a bright light emanated from its center, even when triangulation was used. The exterior dimension-diameter was determined where starlight was occluded. Based on these visual accounts it was determined that the object's exterior diameter was approximately three football fields in length - 900 feet. This case is far from "closed" despite the air force's recent attempt to explain it all away as another military exercise approximately ten days after the incident occurred. No doubt additional witnesses will be interviewed when they come forward or are located. The UFO was witnessed hovering stationary for approximately five minutes before it began to move - slowly at fist. But then suddenly, within a blink of an eye, it zipped towards the horizon and appeared to disappear (as if its lights went out?) before it passed across the horizon. The acceleration and unbelievable speed appeared to have been instantaneous. After thoughts: Typical official skeptical responses for public consumption were performed, for example, by skeptics such as the one invited on Larry King Live, James Mcgaha, astronomer and founder of Tucson Skeptics Incorporated, who is a retired United States Air Force pilot. For a transcript of that show see: http://ufotruth.wordpress.com/2008/01/21/transcript-of-stephenville-ufo-discussed-on-larry-king-live/ http://preview.tinyurl.com/2azwd8 ...where the final McGaha conclusion appears to be that all UFO witnesses are not "qualified" to determine what it was that they saw. Typical comment from McGaha: MCGAHA: "Are you qualified to look at the sky at night?" Move along... move along... Nothing to see here.
