Some 50 people claim to have spotted UFOs flying over Stephenville, a town of about 16,000 people in dairy country 110km southwest of Fort Worth.
After two weeks of denials and media focus US military officials finally admitted to having 10 F-16 fighter jets training in the area on January 8 – the night the claims were made, according to Associated Press.
“What we do down there falls under operational procedures that cannot be released because of operations security for our mission,” Major Karl Lewis told the paper.
Witnesses included pilot Steve Allen who earlier told Fox News:
“Quite a few people saw the UFO itself and then many more people saw the jets come past in pursuit.
“It already came by us and did a little flame-job over Stephenville and disappeared, it came back by. And that's when it had the military craft in pursuit, probably four or five seconds behind."
Another witness James Hughes told Fox: “There was two very large, glowing - I'd call them glowing, burning kind of looking objects, globe-like-looking objects that were just barely moving in the sky and hovering in the sky over my house. And it was pretty startling.”
