Zimmerman woke up his fiancé and they both continued to watch for approximately three minutes, he said.
"What I saw is completely different from what Lee Roy (Gaitan) saw," Zimmerman told Joiner.
Zimmerman said, "The beams from the side weren't as obvious as the bright big lights and they were just real quick. The whole beam would just shoot out there and just disappear. If anyone had taken a picture with a timed exposure they would have caught all of them (shooting beams) at one time. It was strange. I have never seen anything like this before at all."
Suddenly, as the sun was starting to rise, the lights seemed to disappear, Zimmerman stated.
"I hope it's military," Zimmerman told Joiner. "I know they've got things. I could go either way (opinion of military or alien) but it was out of the ordinary and I have never seen anything like it before."
Zimmerman said that at the time of his sighting, he had wondered if the shooting beams he was seeing had something to do with nearby Army Fort Hood.
"That's the first thought I had, but that's a long way off and it appeared to be closer than that," stated Zimmerman.
Other witnesses who claimed to have observed military jets chasing UFOs in the region thought that the aircraft could be from Naval Air Station Joint Reserve Base Fort Worth (NAS JRB Fort Worth) or the adjoining Carswell Field, used by defense contractors.
HONEST OFFICERS
Zimmerman follows two other local peace officers in coming forward about what they have witnessed.
First, Erath County Constable Lee Roy Gaitan was one of dozens of people who reported very unusual lights and solid objects over the Stephenville and Erath County region in early and mid-January.
