I'm wondering how much more traction the Stephenville sightings will have if we don't soon see the 40 minute dashboard-cam video? There have been waves of regional sightings before - some with more video and pics than we've seen out of Stephenville - yet they faded from "tipping point" status.
It sounds like there are still a lot of people in the Stephenville area watching the skies with cameras ready. If something truly is ongoing there, the chances are good we'll see some photos or videos that are more compelling (motorcyclerick, your new camera shot of the Sorrell's ranch sunrise is absolutely breathtaking... it's now my PC's wallpaper!).
As for the theological debate, it seems to be part & parcel to most UFO/ET discussions in open forums and even general conversations. As a former MUFON investigator, I found that I had to check the demonic/angelic/corporeal ET classification/stereotyping at the door whenever I entered an investigation. I gathered information, evidence, and testimony without applying any of those filters to it to the best of my ability.
What I've learned in applying that approach to the UFO phenomena 18 years ago is this - it is much more complex and multi-faceted than I could have ever imagined. The array of events that have transpired in Stephenville have brought me no closer to getting a handle on it, but I keep pushing on waiting for that epiphinal moment to arrive.
Listening to Ricky Sorrells' account of his close enounter during his interview with Linda Howe, I literally got goose bumps. I believe he saw what he described. I can't come close to quantifying nor explaining what he saw, other than to say it was highly unlikely that it was of terrestrial construction. Had I not heard that interview, I'm not sure I would have followed this story as passionately as I have.

@ Nibiru
I understood the humor. It made me smile.
@ Everyone
Is anyone planning to make a wiki of all confirmed and unconfirmed events related to Erath County and Texas? Seems this topic is suffering from severe disorganization. Plenty of info, but almost none of it seems structured in any easy to understand way.
I started a word document to try to make sense out of everything, but it got long and time consuming really fast. Here is what I have if anyone wants to expand it. Hope
Steve Allen (private pilot for more than 30 years), Mike Odom and Lance Jones - Allen is the owner of L & S Enterprises and Texas Freight in Glen Rose. He can be contacted at 254-898-1117 - at the home of Mike Odom in Selden about 6:15 p.m. - above Highway 67 traveling towards Stephenville at a high rate of speed - about 3,000 miles per hour - flashing lights (like strobe) about ”§3,500 feet - totally silent - lights reconfigured themselves from a single horizontal line into two sets of vertical lights - turned into dirty burning white flames - 2nd appearance 10 min later - west traveling east towards Glen Rose - two or three miles south of 67 - two military jets, possibly F16s, were in pursuit ę Odom's wife, Claudette, (previous flight attendant): ”§Lights were going up and down the side”K moving so fast”K
David Jaquess - 4.6 miles out on Hwy. 67. About 6:15 p.m - real bright yellow ”K unusually bright like a welding arc - five miles away”K looking west/southwest
Dublin Constable Lee Roy Gaitan and eight year old son Ryan - two red burning glows that went away and then came back on - like lights you'd see in a bar - nine flashes and they were real spread out - Even with my binoculars there was no outline - started moving towards Stephenville and moving so fast I had trouble following it with my binoculars - It covered a big area
Anne Frazor ”K about 6:40 pm - I was going down FM 914 towards Alexander. - Just as I got to the hill at Alexander where Hwy. 6 crosses 914 I saw ”K the lights - Thought that two planes were about to collide - lights were as bright as a school bus ahead of you but up in the air - much closer to the ground - got to the top of the hill they were gone
James Hughes, navigational specialist in the Air Force - I was walking two friends to their car at my home - I live near the courthouse, actually two blocks from it, towards the river - two red lights acting unusual - two very bright red lights traveling in formation - so intensely bright that I realized they must be at a low altitude - no noise
- ”K nuclear power plant not 10-12 miles from where Steve Allen reported his sighting. The plant is just outside Glen Rose, TX. It is called Comanche Peak Nuclear Power Plant. It is owned by TXU. - I personally know Daivd Jaquess. He is a very prominent building contractor and Constable Lee Roy Gaitan. Gaitan use to be the chief of police in Dublin, TX. These are some very credible witness'.
- Steve Allen described the flight path followed US Hwy 67 going from Glen Rose, TX towards Stephenville, TX.. then he said the craft came back going towards dallas just off of Hwy. 67 - secret installation is on the east side of Hwy 144 between Walnut Springs, TX and Meridian, TX - Find County Road (CR) 2546 look north for Private Road(PR) 2549 that is the main road in. If you use google sat images you can see a guard shack a few hundred yards up from the hwy - On a wider few you can also see a private air strip”K part of the image seems to be grayed out with a gray tint on the east side of this complex. - complex is a little over 3,000 acres - main buildings sit in a valley - main road in looks very out place in this ranching land. It is an interstate quality concrete road heading into what looks like a big ranch - perimeter fence you can see from the hwy looks like a high game fence, further in there is another fence with razor wire and a guard shack on the main road in

Yipee! Another law enforcement officer on the record. I've written the story but the webmaster for our site is at funerals of two friends. Maybe it will be on day after tomorrow. I finally saw the constable's video and it is AWESOME! Still working on getting it released though. It's just what we needed. Those dash cams are about $7,000 so the quality is spectacular in my humble opinion. Everyday, I think today is the day, and it doesn't happen but these things have to go through county channels. It's not even similar to the David C. video I saw and wrote about. Have to be up in four hours so tomorrow will probably be yucky. I met with Gaitan and Sorrells tonight and Sorrells is still really sick.

Angelia, That is great; can't wait to read your story. Any chance for a brief description of what you saw on the dash cam. Hope

How interesting! I continually see Jake not only trying to veer subjects off topic but actually attacking the Christian perspective! Hmmmm...wonder what his motive could be? OR...which side he works for? Interesting Jake! Real... interesting. I am watching you like a hawk.

Finally got this bump in my heart rate reading this ... this video MUST be released otherwise this story could go from a snoozing to a coma state.

Jakereason has witnessed this thread get off topic from members delving into the theological aspect of disclosure. He has offered the proper thread for that kind of theological discussion. Your accusation against Jake is unwarranted and uncalled for.

Angelia, this is fantastic news.... thanks for getting me (and I'm sure countless others) re-stoked! I can't wait to read your newest article and eventually see the video.
Let me ask you this though... do you get a gut feeling that the "airshow" is over, or is it too soon to get a sense of that?

Someone was asking about the white area on the sectional chart with the temporary restrictions. I was checking it out last week and the Bush ranch in Crawford has it's own restricted airspace and it just looks like that airspace was expanded to the large white circle. The warning boxes seem to be referring to that.
Oh, and PM if you need help on any of those off-colour flyingsquadron.com acronyms [above].

The chart from skyvector.com has an interesting note near Stephenville and the discussed possible underground complex: "Caution P49 expanded by temporary flight restrictions Contact AFSS for latest status and notams." Anyone know what that means? Hope

Onemind - Hey now, you're talking about a good and dear friend of mine there - Jake is one of the most Christian of people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. He is most assuredly, 110%, - one of the 'Good Guys'.
Angelia! That is FANTASTIC news about the video - the guy must have his head screwed on if he's going the right route. Kudos to him!! Yep! Get those legalities cleared - it only goes to reinforce credibility.
