Description

I hadn’t heard of the Stephenville, Texas UFO sighting, until I came across it on James Fox’s documentary, “I know what I saw”. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u36QG9hoTh0)

Starting at the timestamp 1:05:24, we hear about an apparent mass sighting withing a small town of Stephenville, Texas, and then you hear testimonies from a rancher and police officer, etc. This didn’t seem like anything out of the ordinary, until a witness by the name of Ricky Sorrells was interviewed, then it becomes quite clear to me at that this was likely a significant and credible sighting.

Ricky Sorrells states that he encountered a hovering UFO, the edge of which he could not see in either direction, and believed it to be so large that a plane could have landed on it. He is said to have stood under the craft for about 3 minutes, and had a close look at it with the scope on his rifle. During his observation, he didn’t hear any sounds from the UFO, while it was hovering or when it took off, and he couldn’t see any signs of easily recognisable identifiers, which would make it man made, such as nuts, bolts, rivets, seams, welds, and described it as sheet metal with a matte finish.

The reason why I think Ricky makes for a credible witness and objective observer is that firstly he definitely not seem like a “UFO guy”, who would have had previous knowledge of common UFO observables, such as which he described, and which might affect his observations and re-telling of the events. In fact he almost seems like a guy, who would instantly make fun of you for telling him a UFO story, even stating during the start of the interview that he believed that people who came on camera and spoke about this stuff needed help.

Secondly, we know from this news report (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_fq7olCEwDQ) that Ricky was deer hunting at the time, and of course we know he had a rifle with a scope. Without being too presumptuous this likely makes him an excellent observer, as being someone who’s now accustomed to hunting, he would be fully aware as what constitutes the norms of the environment that he is within, and he would probably be quite prone to noticing changes in the said environment, and have a good judgment of distance and size of things within his immediate surroundings.

Third, we are made aware that there appears to be FAA radar that backs up the sighting, as an unknown object seems to have left radar tracks within the area that the Ricky, and other witness have described seeing the object.

I wonder if any independent investigators have tried to get hold of the supposed radar data from the FAA in order to confirm what's been shown within the documentary?
