Dozens of other credible witnesses in the area also reported seeing unusual phenomena in the sky in January.
Some reported F-16 military aircraft in apparent pursuit of an object.
That month, Angelia Joiner, then a reporter for the local newspaper in Stephenville, covered these reports.
National and international news media picked up the story and soon the world was wondering what was going on in the Stephenville and Erath County region, about 65 miles northwest of the area of the Bush ranch in Crawford.
By late February, accounts surfaced through Joiner and Constable Gaitan that more than one regional peace officer had not only witnessed highly unusual objects in the sky, but these had also been captured on the video cameras mounted on the dashboards of patrol cars.
This diagram and description by multiple law enforcement officers released today are just the latest information to be made public about this incident, which may have ramifications that are not yet fully understood.
Was the object sighted some kind of advanced U.S. craft? Was it an extraterrestrial and/or extradimensional craft? Was it a joint U.S. and ET craft? There seem to be fairly limited possible answers to questions about the origins of the object.
Was it there on a practice activity or visit? Or was there a more concrete mission involved?
Was there a conflict related to unauthorized activity within restricted U.S. airspace? If so, what are the details about the nature of this activity?
Is there any danger to the public in Erath County and in other parts of the U.S. and the world?
How much information can reasonably be made available to public safety officials and the public, and how is the best way to provide this information so that safety and security are maintained?
These are just some of the questions facing us as we try to understand the continuing information surfacing in the Stephenville region.
