More Lights in Texas
Okay, things are getting silly in regard to the lights seen in the night sky over Stephenville, Texas.
Anderson Cooper, the silver-haired female draw on CNN, aired a video of what is supposed to be the alleged UFO. However, despite the fact they claim the footage depicts what they actually believe is an unknown aircraft, it's difficult to tell if the videographers are not just some drunks in a field somewhere. They don't seem all that impressed with what they say is a flying saucer.
And the video itself is of such shaky, poor quality, one can't discern anything from it anyway. To me, it looks like it could be an airplane or even a light on a radio tower.
But the most disturbing thing about the case is the manner in which the details recounted by witnesses are suddenly becoming more and more inflated. At first, witnesses just claimed to see a silent, low flying object with randomly configured lights in the night sky over Stephenville. Now, all of a sudden the object is supposed to have been over a mile wide, and was being chased and/or paced by fighter jets!
Just how the witnesses arrived at the "mile wide" measurement is unclear, but did you ever play the chain story whisper game at a party? The final version of the starting phrase is usually nowhere near the original.
I suspect the natural human inclination toward faulty memory and embellishment to be at the heart of this. An object in the sky that stretched a mile wide would have certainly been seen by more than a few locals in Stephenville. Unless of course, it deployed its alien stealth technology so as to be visible only to the "chosen ones" — a detail that very well could be just a few tellings away.
And considering the military has steadfastly denied any fighter jets were in the area at the time of the sightings, the supposed escorts are most likely just more embellishment by folks who find themselves in the national spotlight for the first time, and subconsciously want to make their story sensational.
Heck, if this item stays in the news for much longer, you can bet dollars to alien pastries that someone will surface claiming an abduction, and possibly the ever-menacing alien probe.
You have to love the human imagination, don't ya?
