Ebenso nicht von dieser Welt: Der englische Reentry-Fall Cosford in einer britischen UFO-Dokumentation

Zur Tageseinstimmung stellen wir Ihnen ein neues, spannendes ´Fortean Times´-Projekt zum elektronischen Durchblättern vor: Das Magazin "Your Guide To Screen Aliens" unter http://cde.cerosmedia.com/1E478f86d... . Unter http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=MFRp3... geht es um eine "UFO"-Aufnahme von 1992 über Hannover, die der UFOloge Douglas Spalthoff bei YouTube einestellte, hören Sie seinen erstaunlichen Kommentar zu dieser Aneinanderreihung von verwackelten Einzelbildern eines astronomischen Objektes, welches während 15 Minuten hier aufgenommen worden war. Geht´s noch...?

Sonntag, der 20.Januar 2008. Jeder liebt Rätsel und ihre Geheimnisse aufzulösen - wir erst recht. Was ist aber, sobald es mehr Show als Substanz gibt? Zunächst aber einmal, die neuesten UFO-Aussagen aus Amerika: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=dfm-i... - und ganz rassistisch-derb aus den Südstaaten http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=xkCUt... .... Und so kommen wir zu dem "großen Fall", der sich mehr und mehr als mehr Schall, als Rauch entpuppt - trotz dieses neuen Videos aus der Nähe von San Antonio und seine Bilder dazu, welche von UFOCasebook.com unter dem Thema "UFOCasebook - Stephenville, Texas UFO Footage Jan 2008" ausgegeben werden: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=HStcH... . Ein YouTube-User glaubt in den Nachtaufnahmen einen Lightship-Blimp zu erkennen, was was für sich haben mag, wenn man auch dieses Video kennt - http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=mxQtB... (von Mai 2007 aus Stephenville, bisher unter http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=3Hi8Y... eingestellt gewesen, wir berichteten!) - und auch den Lösungsvorschlag von Cherika Johnson aus Longview kennt, den wir gestern vorstellten.

Chaz Stuart von der Project 1947-Liste verwies unter dem Betreff ´MUFON Brings In The Clowns..´ auf die ´Dallas Morning News´ ( http://www.dallasnews.com/sharedcon... ) und ihrer Headline "Texas UFO investigators probe Stephenville sightings" zu diesem Artikel:

>Anyone looking for answers about the recent mysterious lights in the Texas sky left here disappointed Saturday. But the big meeting hosted by the Mutual UFO Network delivered in plenty of other ways: Jokers in tinfoil hats, check. Funny UFO T-shirts, check. Crop circle conspiracy theorists, check. Fresh popcorn and Dublin´s real-sugar Dr Pepper dispensed by the friendly folks from the local Rotary Club, check. And even a hint of science and a sense that the cheerful mob scene might actually contribute to knowledge, if not definitive explanations.

"I think a lot of people saw the same things," said Laura Washburn of nearby Glen Rose. Her son, Shane, saw something odd in the sky on the nights of Dec. 31 and Jan. 2 {dabei geht es eigentlich um den Abend des 8.Januar}. They spent a couple of hours in the crowd of more than 500 who packed the Dublin Rotary Club building, listening to many others telling their stories. "Hearing so many other people takes away the feeling that I don´t want to be the only one, the one that people say is crazy," Ms. Washburn said. The meeting was triggered by local reports of slow-moving, glowing objects in the sky the night {!} of Jan. 8. Three men told their stories to Angelia Joiner, a reporter for the Stephenville Empire-Tribune. "The people were so genuine and so credible," Ms. Joiner said Saturday. "You could tell they really saw something." Plus, it was a good tale that she figured her readers would like. She was right about that. Once her first story ran, other people came forward with similar stories. And once word of the reports traveled beyond the area, the world wanted to know more. Every major news network has run stories about the lights in the sky near Stephenville. Two witnesses, plus Ms. Joiner, were remote guests Friday on Larry King Live.

MUFON was founded in 1969 and has chapters all over the U.S. The Colorado-based organization is a club for UFO buffs, but it´s also a network of amateur investigators who try to evaluate every report they receive of something odd in the sky. MUFON announced last week that it would hold a meeting to interview witnesses of the Stephenville-area lights. The first site for the meeting was a livestock sales barn. That humble location didn´t sit well with the Rotarians of Dublin, about 10 minutes down the road from Stephenville. "It´s kinda like we have company coming and we need to take care of them," said Pat Leatherwood, a member of the Dublin Rotary Club. "Whether or not you believe it, you can still be nice." Texas MUFON officials gratefully accepted the Rotarians´ offer of a comfortable place to talk to witnesses. By the end of Saturday afternoon, more than 200 people had formally filed their stories. MUFON investigators are a cross between the Ghostbusters of the movie and the amateur detectives of the Scooby-Doo cartoons. Like the Ghostbusters, they know they´re taking on a task with a high giggle factor. But like Velma and Scooby´s other cartoon companions, MUFON investigators take a scientific approach. They look for clues, interview witnesses, analyze evidence. And like the Scoobies teenage detectives on the TV show, MUFON usually concludes that there´s nothing unworldly about the sightings it investigates. MUFON certifies its official investigators. They´re trained to recognize unusual cloud patters, star formations, bugs flying close to the camera, light reflecting from the lens and myriad other ways an odd image can show up on a photo.

Robert Powell of Austin is MUFON´s national director of research. He was in Dublin on Saturday to help out with the investigation. What he was hoping to do was find stories that matched – people in different places who saw something similar at about the same time. But he knew that many of the stories would turn out to be something mundane. "An unidentified flying object can turn out to be an airplane, and then it´s identified," he said. Steve Hudgeons of Fort Worth is MUFON´s senior investigator for Texas. Mr. Hudgeons, 58, makes his living as a project manager for a construction company. A few days before the big meeting, he described some of the problems his investigators would surely find. The biggest, ironically, is the massive publicity {!!!}. Witnesses had a chance to hear from one another and talk among themselves. Often in such situations, people´s memories shift {!}, Mr. Hudgeons said. The other problem, he said, was that the intense media attention would pull people from the woodwork who have nothing useful to contribute {!}. "We are going to get people down there who have aluminum foil on their heads," he said with a sigh. "We always get that." Which they did. They also got more witnesses in one place than MUFON had ever tried to interview. Like hooking a fire hose to a garden hose, the crowd blew out the normal careful interview process that MUFON tries to conduct about every report it gets {!}.

One woman had a story about something she saw in 1957. Others had accounts from last month or last year {!} Their descriptions of the lights ranged from included an aspirin with lights around the edges, to glowing orbs, to a wedge-shaped row of lights to and an enormous classic movie-special-effects flying saucer. Some witnesses were fuzzy about the time of their sighting. Others weren´t clear about which way they were looking. But several of the witnesses were able to answer many of the long series of questions on the MUFON investigation form. How is their vision? Their hearing? Where were they at the time? Which direction did they look? Were they near an airport? Did what they see seem to hover? Wobble? Appear solid? Have fuzzy edges? Over the next couple of months, MUFON´s investigators plan to follow up with some of the witnesses and eventually produce a report about any patterns they were able to find in the accounts. In the meantime, the locals are mostly having fun with the story. A Stephenville hotel has a goofy image of a green cartoon alien in a hotel suite sitting by the front desk. "He´s on the fourth floor" of the three-story hotel, guests are told. A taco joint plays on the team colors of nearby Tarleton State University by claiming "aliens prefer purple tacos."

But some people are worried that the story will leave an image of their area as being filled with a bunch of UFO-seeing nuts. Chris Baker, 37, lives in Dublin. He´s seen only one unusual sight in the sky lately: "Just snow. I´m hoping after this weekend is over that people will start to forget about it," he said. "I don´t think there is enough to it to make it a tourist attraction like Glen Rose and dinosaurs."<

"´Different than anything´ resident had ever seen - Hundreds meet with UFO experts to discuss sighting" berichtete der ´Houston Chronicle´ ( http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl... ):

>James Huse came to state nothing but the facts. The theories would have to come later, he said. So in pursuit of the truth, Huse traveled the few miles down the road from his home in Stephenville to the Rotary Club meeting hall in downtown Dublin on Saturday to tell this story: On Jan. 8, shortly after dark, he was walking two house guests to their car near Stephenville´s main square when he beheld a {?} red glowing light moving slowly across the sky {!}. He pointed up at the sky and said: "UFO. I know what an airplane looks like," the 53-year-old retired electronics technician said. "I know what a helicopter looks like. This wasn´t an airplane or a helicopter. This looked different than anything I had ever seen," he added. That was the gist of what Huse told the investigators from the Mutual UFO Network, or MUFON, at the Saturday gathering, he said.

It was a story, told in multiple versions {!}, to investigators from the nonprofit group that calls itself "dedicated to the scientific study of UFOs for the benefit of humanity." The MUFON investigators rode into Dublin, a city famous as the home of a Dr Pepper museum and plant. Their goal was to look into the ruckus that has thrust this cowboy country of small towns and big skies into the international limelight. Armed with a three-page questionnaire, investigators probed the memories of witnesses in one-on-one interviews. "We are trying to get to the bottom of the mystery," said MUFON´s Texas director, Ken Cherry. "We approach it from a scientific method and let the chips fall as they may." The mystery unfolded with stories like Huse´s. Before Saturday´s gathering, dozens of people had filed reports with the group, Cherry said. Most told of an unidentified object seen between 6:15 p.m. Jan. 8 and 4 a.m. the next day. At the Dublin Rotary Club building, about 200 possible witnesses told their tale, Cherry said. It was many more than could be handled with the 50 copies of the questionnaire that MUFON members had brought with them. The hall &#8212; normally filled with revelers for events such as the annual Dr Pepper, St. Patrick´s Day and homecoming celebrations &#8212; was packed with about 500 people. Some of them were witnesses; others were curious area residents, some wearing aluminum foil hats and T-shirts proclaiming Stephenville the UFO capital of the world.

They were all stuck behind a semi-circle of television cameras and reporters flanking Cherry and Steve Hudgeons, assistant state director. Hudgeons started off the meeting by defining UFO. "It means unidentified flying object," he said. "It does not mean spaceship from outer space." Indeed, the group does not pretend to have a handle on alien technology, said Robert Powell, a director of research for MUFON who came from Austin to help the investigation. The trick of such an investigation is to weed out the nuts and the folks who saw sights easily explained with an airplane flight schedule. The rest are occurrences that might just turn out to be unexplainable, he said. "You want to get down to the real cases," said Powell, a real estate broker. For Powell, the aluminum-covered heads in the room lacked a certain respect for the field. He said he got into it to study the phenomenon scientifically. "It´s an unknown that has the potential to be solved," Powell said. MUFON´s conclusions will not be ready for months, if not a year, Cherry said. They will likely be published first in the group´s newsletter.

If Huse was sticking to the facts Saturday, Sean Kiel had a theory. Kiel, 42, said he saw a bright ball of light passing across the sky at dusk on Jan. 8. He was somewhere between Weatherford and Cisco, driving his regular trucking route. A resident of New Haven, Ky., Kiel came to Dublin for the meeting with photos of the light saved on his cell phone*. He doesn´t know for sure, but he believes the photos show some kind of military aircraft. Of course, that doesn´t mean it wasn´t a UFO in one sense of the phrase. "It was a UFO," he said. "I couldn´t identify it."<

"Stephenville rides wave of publicity after UFOs" hieß es bei den ´Express-News´ aus San Antonio ( http://www.mysanantonio.com/news/me... ): >All hype aside, space aliens have not invaded the streets of this rodeo town southwest of Fort Worth &#8212; though nearly everyone here is keeping at least a playful eye out for them. And maybe no one here has encountered any little green men in the week after dozens of residents reported seeing a strobe light-flashing object zipping through the night sky because they don´t exist. Sightings from around the country suggest extraterrestrial beings are actually gray, not green, says Dennis Balthaser, a UFO researcher and former investigator with the International UFO Museum and Research Center in Roswell, N.M. "They´re somewhat humanoid looking," Balthaser says of such accounts nationally. "They have a big head, a small-frame body, anywhere between three and five fingers, no hair ... no ears as such. A slit for the mouth." But even if there´s been no space invasion of Stephenville, the recent obsession with them has been out of this world in the town of 15,400 &#8212; and far beyond. Ken Cherry, the Texas director of the Colorado-based Mutual UFO Network, or MUFON, which describes itself as devoted to research on the topic, says the multiple sightings on the night of Jan. 8 could turn Stephenville into a mini-Roswell. "Dozens of people are coming forward, responsible people, saying they saw something," Cherry said. "We´re talking shop owners, ranch owners, oil field workers, just about every demographic imaginable." Forget being the Cowboy Capital of the World. Folks in town are calling Stephenville the UFO Capital of the World. ...<

"Mutual UFO Network Comes To Stephenville" berichtete CBS ( http://cbs11tv.com/local/mutal.UFP.... ) auch wieder mit einigen Videos* auf der Seite:

>During the past week, CBS 11 News has received dozens of photos and videos from our viewers showing strange objects in the sky. Some may have an ordinary explanation. It´s the allure of these unidentified flying objects that´s drawn UFO experts to Dublin, which is 12 miles from Stephenville, this weekend. The Mutual UFO Network met with residents who said they saw the something unexplained in the North Texas sky. During the town hall-like gathering, dozens compared stories as media from across the world watched, as well. But, the North Texans are having fun and cashing in on the newly found international fame. The Erath County cow mascot statue now sports a tin foil hat on its head and even some humans have donned the new lids as excitement continues to grow. The information collected from Saturday´s interviews will be analyzed and published in the MUFON Journal in April.<

*= Darunter auch ein telefonisches Interview mit Sabre Bowman, der die heitere Handyaufnahme vom UFO ´über Stephenville´ eine Woche später (was aber gerne weggelassen wird zu erwähnen!) machte, was auch CNN immer wieder zeigte ( http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=MMfSo... {"Im am not sure what this was. It may possibly be a UFO. I caputured the video on the evening of 1-14-08 near Alvarado, TX. Which is approximately 70 miles east of Stephenville, TX were the recent sightings were made."}). Bowman sah sein UFO zwischen 5-10 Minuten lang, dann verschwand es. Er konnte auch keine Flugzeuge sehen, die dieses schwebende, niedrig am Himmel erscheinende Objekt verfolgten. Überhaupt scheint es so, das nur Steve Allen darauf achtete. Hier taucht auch James Huse wieder als Zeuge auf, der von zwei seiner roten Objekten spricht, die etwa 300 Meter voneinander vorbeiflogen, wie er schätzte mit kaum mehr als 50 mph. Übrigens spielte der Sender inzwischen auch einen Beitrag vom 24.Februar 2006 zum ´Airship´-Crash in Aurora vor über 100 Jahren auf - "Fact Or Fiction? Space Alien Buried In Texas Town": http://cbs11tv.com/local/Aurora.Tex... . Da wird Texas also nochmals weit vor dem Cash-/Landrum-Incident interessant.

NBC berichtete so "UFO Buffs: Something ´Definitely´ Happening In Stephenville" ( http://www.nbc5i.com/news/15095847/... ) und führte aus:

>North Texans shared their stories of supposed UFO sightings at a meeting called by UFO investigators in Dublin. Dozens of people crowded into Dublin´s Rotary Club to talk with the Mutual UFO Network, a group of UFO buffs. Texas MUFON director Ken Cherry said the group "definitely" knows something is going on in Stephenville. "In an extremely small number of cases will we get a mass sighting like this," he said.

A woman from Brownwood brought a video of bouncing lights that she shot on Jan. 4 {was nicht das ´Ziel´-Datum ist und damit eine andere Sichtung beinhaltet}. "You can´t see through it," Margie Galvez said. "You can´t see in it. It just bounces." She said she shot the video with an infrared surveillance camera {!} at her farm. "You can´t explain it," she said. "I don´t know what it is." A Dublin man showed video of a strange object in the sky that he shot last summer in Stephenville. "That´s why I´m here," he said. "I want someone to tell me what it is." Most people didn´t have any pictures. "What I saw was a very large blue light," Cleburne resident Jason Greywolf Leigh said {zu seiner Aufnahme die ´uralt´ ist}. Stephenville resident James Huse said he saw big, round objects in the sky. "I would estimate they were the size of an aircraft," he said. Glenda Jackson, another Stephenville resident, said she also saw something strange in the sky. "It looked like two plates upside down, like a saucer," she said. "It was at least as wide as a football field."

The meeting also drew people who just wanted to see what the hoopla was all about. MUFON members said their work could take a year. Even then, there may be no explanation for the phenomenon, they said. The investigators said it was way too early to rule anything in or out. But with so many people coming forward, the group said it is convinced people saw something.<

Die FOX-News mischten natürlich auch mit - UFO Sightings Bring Crowd to Dublin, siehe http://www.myfoxdfw.com/myfox/pages... . Hier erklärte MUFON-Vertreter Steve Hutchins die Ereignisse an Ort übrigens als "amazing sightings" (???) und der Off-Kommentar hat es von einem "major case" (???). Und Ken Cherry hat es auch voll drauf: Als MUFON-Staats-Chef erklärte er hier, dass die UFO-Gruppe keine "Debunkers" sind und auch wenn es die Leute lieben über "UFO-Technologie" zu reden, man könne keine bieten und habe als Falluntersucher einen nüchternen Job zu leisten - genauso wenig wie sich bisher immer noch nicht echte Fotos oder Videos zum tatsächlichen Geschehen offenbarten.

"Bright lights, big crowds in Dublin: UFO investigators land in Dublin to quiz locals" meldete der ´Star-Telegram´ aus Fort Worth ( http://www.star-telegram.com/metro_... ) und berichtete:

>It was a crowded cacophony of confusion. On Saturday afternoon, about 50 people who saw impossibly bright lights in the skies about nearby Stephenville 12 days ago gathered in Dublin to talk about what they saw with interviewers from the Mutual UFO Network. The witnesses were swept into whirlpools of media representatives carrying video cameras and at least one "posse" from a Dallas radio station, whose members were intent on blocking the front door of the meeting room to take pictures of themselves wearing aluminum-foil hats. And there were the circling curiosity seekers. Despite about 400 pushing and shoving onlookers, seven MUFON investigators gathered a lot of information from respectable sources, said Kenneth Cherry of Keller, director of the organization´s Texas chapter. But did they uncover a visitation from alien beings?

"We believe there is some sort of phenomenon in action here," Cherry said. "We see a pattern. But it will take months to investigate." Several dozen people living in or near Stephenville, including an Erath County constable and several business owners, insist that around Jan. 8, they saw a large silent object flying lower to the ground and faster than an airplane would. They also said the object´s lights changed configuration, unlike those of a plane. Some reported seeing it chased by fighter jets. On Saturday, Steve Allen of Glen Rose, who said he was a pilot, described what he saw: "We were sitting around the campfire. I looked off to the east, and we saw several sets of lights coming toward us very fast. They were brighter than the glare from welding. "The first time we saw it, the duration was three minutes; then it started slowing down and passed us, and the lights in the back reformed into an arc shape, and they would flash on and off with no particular pattern. Then those changed into two vertical lines. It was totally silent."

Before talking to investigators, witnesses filled out forms that included questions about the object´s direction, distance and flying behavior. They were asked to sketch what they saw. Then they sat down to be interviewed by MUFON investigators for about 15 minutes each. "I wanted to come today because this is too important to stay silent about," said James Huse of Stephenville. "It hovered above my house." Cherry said MUFON will study the testimony for several months to a year before releasing any findings. And even then, don´t expect an announcement about green men in an alien mother ship. MUFON doesn´t use that sort of terminology. At most, the group will make a statement that whatever happened at Stephenville can be explained, or it can´t. That´s it. "We do not promote the existence of alien ships," Cherry said. "All we are trying to do is figure out if we can explain it or not, and then we´ll let the chips fall where they may." MUFON welcomed Saturday´s event, Cherry said, because it made some people more comfortable talking about sightings, it got the organization´s name into public view and it added to the body of data collected by MUFON, which was organized in 1969....<

Siehe dazu auch noch diesen Beitrag "Maybe it came from the Dog Star" ( http://www.star-telegram.com/metro_... ) in der selben Zeitung:

>Once the excitement dies down in Stephenville, two scientists at area universities plan to take a scholarly look at whatever lighted the sky over Erath County this month. Michael Hibbs, associate professor of math and physics at Tarleton State University in Stephenville, and Ron DiIulio, director of astronomy lab programs for the University of North Texas in Denton, said Saturday that they will gather data and interview witnesses to try to figure out what people saw. "This is a chance for us to put together some science as to why," Hibbs said. "This is pretty cool. No, it´s way cool." DiIulio and Hibbs agree that people saw a UFO of sorts because it is unidentified and it appeared to be flying. They are especially interested in this sighting because of the number of people who reported seeing it. "We know they saw something," Hibbs said. "We just want to know what it is." DiIulio said he was not surprised that no one took photos of the UFO, since it was at night, it was cold and many people, especially older ones, don´t carry cameras. "We need more data," DiIulio said. "We want either an identified object or an unidentified one, but not a misidentified flying object."

Both scientists agreed that the photograph on the front page of Friday´s Star-Telegram was not of a UFO. It was one of DiIulio´s MFOs. "From what I see by looking at this photo, it´s a sun dog," DiIulio said. Hibbs agreed. "It definitely was a sun dog," Hibbs said. "That photo has nothing to do with the Stephenville incident." A truck driver took the photo using his cellphone camera on Jan. 8 on Interstate 20 near Cisco. A sun dog is a little-known atmospheric phenomenon caused by ice crystals hanging in the air, reflecting sunlight through high clouds, DiIulio said. Cloud movements appear to make the sun dog move, too. "You nearly always see them 22 degrees -- or ´two fists´ -- on either side of the sun," he said. It usually happens near sunset. DiIulio said American Indians used to report sun dogs. "It´s almost like a rainbow," DiIulio said. "It´s pretty neat. Some people don´t see the color, just the bright light."

He and Hibbs said they want to work with witnesses by going back to where the witnesses saw the lights. DiIulio and Hibbs will also look at the descriptions from Saturday´s event in Dublin. And they´re not scoffing. "This is really exciting," Hibbs said. "Who would have guessed this would happen in Stephenville, Texas?" Stop, look, take notes. Ron DiIulio, director of astronomy lab programs for the University of North Texas, offers these tips on what to do if you spot a UFO. DiIulio is also Jet Propulsion Laboratories-NASA´s solar system ambassador, helping interpret science for the public. Note immediate changes, such as if the object suddenly reverses or turns 90 degrees. Know your compass points, and note the direction you are looking. Count how far from north the object is using "fists." Stretch out your arm and level your fist on the horizon. Bring up your other fist. Cross your first arm over the second, keeping your arms together, and count how many fists left or right of north the object is. Nine fists left of north is northwest, etc. In a similar way, find out how high the object is. Stretch out one arm and level a fist on the horizon. Then put the other fist on top of the first fist. Continue to stack fists until they reach the object. Two fists equal 20 degrees, nine fists equal 90 degrees, etc.<

"Local UFO group has close encounter with national fame" berichtete 9News, Colorado´s News-Leader ( http://www.9news.com/news/article.a... , siehe auch http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=hZgvQ... {siehe auch Colorado WB News hier: http://de.youtube.com/watch?v=i8HVY... ) und stellte auch einen mehrfach gesendeten TV-Nachrichtenbeitrag aus dem Keller-Büro von John Schuessler ein:

>Littletown &#8211; A few years back, the Mutual UFO Network was operating out of a home basement here. Now it has an office and a little respect, according to one of its founders. The network, known as MUFON, is leading the civilian investigation into the sighting of strange lights over Stephenville, Texas on January 9 (8.1.}. The incident was widely reported by dozens of eyewitnesses and has been picked up by national media outlets. "I´m surprised how much it caught on, but it did," said John Schuessler. He spoke with 9NEWS in the basement of his Littleton home, surrounded by stacks of paperwork and filing cabinets filled with reports on UFO sightings. He has spent decades collecting information on the subject. Schuessler, a MUFON co-founder and former aerospace industry worker, once hosted the group´s headquarters in his basement. No more. MUFON has moved into an office in Fort Collins and Schuessler says the UFO issue has moved toward more mainstream acceptance. "Ten years ago, people were very, very hesitant to speak out, but they´re not now. People just come out of the woodwork when these things happen," said Schuessler. "I think all of the scandals within government have caused people to be a lot more open about the subject because this subject has always been considered one where the government was covering it up."

A 2007 poll by Harris Interactive found 35 percent of Americans say they believe in UFOs. "That´s very gratifying," said Schuessler. MUFON has hundreds of trained volunteers around the country who swarm to sites of reported UFO activity. A MUFON spokesperson said volunteers conducted 50 interviews in and around Stephenville on Saturday. "We have people on the ground as we speak and they will continue as long as there´s information to be gathered," said Schuessler. Schuessler is quick to point out the reported sightings in Texas could turn out to be nothing more than lights in the sky. Or it could be what he´s been looking for all along.<
