Naval Air Station Reserve Changes Story about UFO Sightings-Says they WERE Military Jets

Was watching MSNBC yesterday and saw that the Naval Air Station Reserve said, yes, we know we said there were no fighter jets in the area, but now we say there were. (And MSNBC showed some footage that I suppose was supposed to be what it looked like, but I don't remember ever hearing that WAS footage from that day.) Anyway, here's some more on that and reaction. (And heres a link to the video MSNBC showed.)

Although officials at the Naval Air Station Reserve Base in Fort Worth initially said none of their planes were in the area of the UFO reports, they changed their story Wednesday, saying that 10 F-16 fighter jets built by Lockheed Martin Corp. were training near Stephenville, about 70 miles (112 kilometers) southwest of Fort Worth, about the time of the sightings.

But, some residents say the military's revelation actually bolsters their claims because several 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."

Allen said that the fighter jets' training area in the Brownwood Military Operating Area, which includes Stephenville's Erath County, is not in the airspace where he saw the object. Also, Jan. 8 was not the only day sightings were reported.

UFO or not, what I wonder is why they are only NOW saying it was fighter jets. Weren't they aware of what was going on? Let's say it's 1 that they were just on a training exercise-can fighter jets just up and race around in the sky without any accountability?

P.S. I did go to Stephenville HS and order some of those "They Came for the Milk" t-shirts. Very cute!

P.P.S. Turns out that the MUFON group did a FOIA. Maybe that's why all of a sudden the military came out with this.
