Stephenville UFO Sighting Call from Angelia Joiner - Major Karl Lewis, USAF, Ret. | Interview Part 1

“It was Jan. 8, 2008, and the trucking entrepreneur was sitting around a fire outside the Selden, Texas, home of Mike Odom, his friend since first grade. Then he saw the lights--orbs that glowed at first, then began to flash. “There was no regular pattern to the flashing,“ he says. “They lined up horizontally, seven of them, then changed into an arch. They lined up vertically, and I saw two rectangles of bright flame. That’s when I knew it was a life-changing experience.“ He watched the lights drift north toward Stephenville, the seat of Erath County. “They came back a few minutes later,“ Allen says, “this time followed by two jets--F-16s, I think.“ Allen, who owns and flies a Cessna, has seen plenty of military planes over the years. “The jets looked like they were chasing the lights, and the lights seemed to be toying with them. It was like a 100-hp car trying to keep up with a 1000-hp one.“ Odom also saw the lights and called to his wife, Claudette, who came outside in time to see the second display. When Allen returned home, he phoned friends at the local airport who checked with the Fort Worth airport tower. “Both said nothing was flying,“ Allen says. That night, James Huse, a former Air Force navigation specialist, was in downtown Stephenville saying good-night to a couple of friends. “Out of the corner of my eye I saw two red orbs moving overhead,“ he says, “the reddest things I’d ever seen in the sky. They came right in front of me at 2000 ft about half a mile away. They weren’t going that fast, maybe 60 mph. They didn’t make any noise.“ The next day Allen called Angelia Joiner, a reporter at the Stephenville Empire-Tribune, and told his story. The paper published Joiner’s piece--“Possible UFO Sighting“--on Jan. 10. It was the first of her numerous articles about the lights. On Jan. 11, Joiner called Maj. Karl Lewis, public affairs officer of the 301st Fighter Wing at the Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth (formerly Carswell Air Force Base and now used by all the services). Lewis said the base had nothing flying the night of the sightings. Other nearby bases issued similar denials. READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE BY POPULAR MECHANICS:
