UFO Update

I used to live and teach in Brownwood, not too far from Stephenville by Texas standards.

Dozens in Texas town report seeing UFO - Yahoo! News: "STEPHENVILLE, Texas - In this farming community where nightfall usually brings clear, starry skies, residents are abuzz over reported sightings of what many believe is a UFO.

Several dozen people — including a pilot, county constable and business owners — insist they have seen a large silent object with bright lights flying low and fast. Some reported seeing fighter jets chasing it.

'People wonder what in the world it is because this is the Bible Belt, and everyone is afraid it's the end of times,' said Steve Allen, a freight company owner and pilot who said the object he saw last week was a mile long and half a mile wide. 'It was positively, absolutely nothing from these parts.'"

I saw a UFO once, in downtown Montreal. Believe it or not.

Maybe it's just the end of times for Stephenville.

Nah, they'd just had too much Dublin Dr Pepper.

I've never seen a UFO. Believe me, I've looked. As a result, I'm not sure there is such a thing as a UFO from another planet. A romantic notion, yes, and they make fun stories. But real? Nah.

Guess UFO means just what it means, Unidentified Flying Object, which doesn't mean alien aircraft, but something unknown by the viewer, if maybe not by others. I'm skeptical.
