Texas UFO Mystery Lingers
Over a three-month period, this summer, there were 1,000 UFO sightings filed with the National UFO Reporting Center...75 of those reports came from Texas. So, why do the aliens prefer Texas? We don’t know, but some folks in that state really believe something odd is going on in the sky over their town...Jim Douglas shows us the evidence…

Stephenville, TX—Andy Monrreal, UFO witness: “You could see the oval shape...got my friend, I said, ‘dude, you got to come look at this.’”
Andy Monrreal was hanging out with his Dublin High School friends when they all saw whatever it was.
Andy Monrreal, “You could see a shape. It was like a complete circle.”
Andy rolled off a half minute of video on his mom’s digital camera. His dad saw it, too.
Jaime Monrreal, Andy’s father: “I never seen nothing like that in my life...big lights and everything.”
So did mom…
Andy’s mother: “It was a round thing. You could see lights around it, flickering and changing. It was awesome...just turning and flickering.”
Back in January, Erath County went UFO crazy after a handful of people reported similar lights over Stephenville. International press and UFO hunters descended on the town. This time, many more eye witnesses are phoning the Stephenville Empire Tribune, or the ET.
Whitney Ashley, reporter, Stephenville Empire Tribune: “I’ve got at least 10, right now willing, to go on record.”
Reporter Whitney Ashley said many people don’t want to talk publicly, like several workers at the paper, who also saw the lights.
Ashley: “The Sheriff’s Department got lots of calls in the southern part of Erath County, down around Dublin, home of Dr. Pepper. Well, actually my brother called last night, said he saw some stuff down by the Austin area.”
The description sounded a lot like this: “3 lights strobing, and they disappeared, and then three more appeared to the ight and left of it.”
The Joint Reserve Base, in Fort Worth confirms seven F-16s training in the area, at the time. Several witnesses told us they saw the fighters, after they saw the mysterious lights.

STEPHENVILLE — Over a three-month period this summer there were 1,000 UFO sightings filed with the National UFO Reporting Center.
Some 75 of those UFOs were reported over the state of Texas.
Stephenville is one hot spot we've shown you before.
Now the small town is getting buzzed by UFOs again.
"You could see the oval shape. Got my friend, I said 'dude, you got to come look at this,'" said Andy Monrreal.
Monrreal was hanging out with his Dublin High School friends when they all saw something they say looked like a UFO.
"You could see a shape. It was like a complete circle," said Monrreal.
He rolled off a half minute of video on his mom's digital camera.
His dad saw it too.
"I never seen nothing like that in my life. Big lights and everything," his father said.
So did mom.
"It was a round thing. You could see lights around it, flickering and changing. It was awesome. Just turning and flickering," she said.
Back in January, Erath County went UFO crazy after a handful of people reported similar lights over Stephenville.
International press and UFO hunters descended on the town.
This time, many more eye witnesses are phoning the Stephenville Empire Tribune or the ET.
"These don't look like conventional flying lights of any kind," said Jay Miller, aviation photographer.
Miller has snapped hundreds of different aircraft from all angles all over the world.He says lights don't appear to be F-16s.
"I'm not saying this isn't an airplane, but the arrangement, color what have you isn't what I would consider normal for a fixed wing plane," said Miller.
Some witnesses also reported seeing flares.
"I'm very familiar with flares, and they would react much differently than this," said Miller
The Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth confirms seven F-16s training in the area at the time. Several witnesses said they saw the fighters, but it was after they saw the mysterious lights.
Although Jay Miller is puzzled by the lights, the do leave him with one overriding impression.
"They don't look extra-terrestrial to me. They look very much man-made," said Miller.

Another UFO?

Andy Monrreal is staring at it again. A videotape he shot of what he and friends say has to be a UFO. Monrreal says, "I'm amazed." On Thursday night, the Dublin teenager was doing what he usually does, play pool with friends. Then he and a buddy took a break and walked outside on the back porch. Monrreal says, "I looked up in the sky and saw these lights and I was like whoa. I started thinking it looks like a UFO. His mom heard him screaming for the camera, "Ah, ah, mom, there's something. I don't remember what his exact words were." Other buddies dropped their pool cues.. And came running. Mitchell Greenway says he saw, "Bright lights. I thought Andy was crazy." Another friend agrees, "He was just banging at the window."
But now Andy, his friends and parents are convinced it was a UFO. Jesse Bamber says, "I just saw all the bright lights, They were just going in and out." Andy's mom, Maricella Monrreal says, "It was just all these flashing lights flicking lights, you know, round in a circle, just moving fast something we've never seen before." Andy says, "I saw the US Army jets flying by it, like 2 of them, it;d come back, again, then 2 more. I guess UFO's are real."
That pains Andy's pals a bit, who in January thought their fellow Erath County residents were crazy after multiple reports of UFO sightings in nearby Stephenville. Mitchell Greenway says, "I thought now I don't need to say bad things about people anymore cause I thought everyone else was pretty much idiots. Now, we believe it. Yeah, Erath idiots like everyone else."
