Gaitan and other local citizens spoke to the local, national and international media who covered the Stephenville UFO sightings.
By mid-February, Gaitan was reporting that several other local law enforcement and public safety officers had seen the same kinds of strange things in the sky there.
He also indicated that some of this activity in the sky was caught on patrol car dash-mounted video cameras.
Gaitan also indicated that additional local officers were hesitant about going on the record publicly about what they had witnessed. Whether officers filed official police reports about what they have seen is unclear.
By late February, another local officer was stepping forward. In a report by Joiner on StephenvilleLights.com, Erath County Sheriff´s Department Sgt. Jim Clifton said that he, too, had seen very strange lights doing unusual things in the night sky.
Clifton told Joiner that he and Gaitan had responded to an alarm at a local restaurant on Feb. 2. After responding to the scene, they also observed an unusual object in the sky.
By looking through a patrol car "dash cam" and using the zoom feature, Clifton told Joiner, "What it looked like is difficult to describe because there is nothing to compare it to."
Clifton said the object was a transparent or translucent appearance, Joiner reported. He also noted that the object had "a fog or vapor or cloud around it" and he saw red, white and blue colors.
Now, Zimmerman joins Gaitan and Clifton as officers who feel comfortable in honestly reporting what they have seen.
