F-16s Were in Area Where UFO Reported

F-16s Were in Area Where UFO Reported
By ANGELA K. BROWN
Associated Press Writer
Military: Jets Responsible for 'UFO' Sightings
FORT WORTH, Texas (AP) -- Fighter jets were training nearby the night dozens of Stephenville-area residents reported seeing a UFO this month, Air Force Reserve officials said Wednesday, backtracking on earlier statements.
The announcement did little to satisfy residents of Texas dairy country who swear that what they saw in the sky Jan. 8 was no airplane. Some said it even bolstered their claims, because several people reported seeing at least two fighter jets chasing an object.
"This supports our story that there was UFO activity in that area," said Kenneth Cherry, the Texas director of the Mutual UFO Network, which took more than 50 reports from locals at a meeting last weekend. "I find it curious that it took them two weeks to 'fess up. I think they're feeling the heat from the publicity."
Officials at the Joint Reserve Base Naval Air Station in Fort Worth initially said none of their planes had been in the area, but on Wednesday they said 10 F-16s were there that day. The officials said they were mistaken and wanted to set the record straight "in the interest of public awareness."
Maj. Karl Lewis, a spokesman for the 301st Fighter Wing at the base, declined to comment on the nature of the military training or say whether it took place on other days.

I listen to F-16's every day and they're flying as I type this....
One F-16 is loud, two, together, are very loud, ten would be deafening.
I'd sure like to have seen what those people saw.....

One of the Locals down there has already challenged the Air Force to "Prove that it was F-16s"!!! He said "We want them to tell us when they're going to do it and do it AGAIN!!! Then if we hear and see what we heard and saw that night, we'll believe them!!"

Holy Crap!! I am about up to my eyeballs with all this UFO stuff here in TX!! It has been kind of drizzly the last few days (something akin to London) and after it started getting dark, one of the C-5's started doing their touch and go's on K Field. That thing looked eerie coming right at us in that gloomy half-dark drizzle. If I had no idea what it was I could have mistaken it for a UFO, too. I wonder if there were some cattle mutilations that week.......

You all do as you feel. As for me and my family, we're moving down by the lake. Word has it they don't like water.

I was reading this article last night and was reminded of your post when the article described the test flights of the quiet Loach.
