OMEFT SIGHTINGS
By Jesse Rios and Case Arkell *Contributing author

The first night, 4-4-08, as I Jesse Rios was at the residence of Ricky Sorrells, I saw an awfully weird object in the sky lowering and lighting up, lowering and lighting up, and continually lowering and lighting up until it fell out of reach under the trees ahead. The object looked like it might have been in a clear (cellophane-looking) tube as it through the tube in the sky going down. It lowered in the sky lighting up in an orange light. The light was divided in fours but blasted its orange light through some type of film, like a cellophane look. In the sky, which was about purple as the sun was almost set, the orange light lit up momentarily and fell lower before lighting up again for only a second or so and then falling and repeating until it went out of sight behind the trees in front of us covered our sight of it’s descent.

The second sighting occurred on 4-5-08. We were located on County Road 376 only 100 yards off County Road 242. It was 3:05 PM. We heard roaring jets, and then we looked. These were definitely three fighter jets flying right over us into the clouds heading east. They came from the sun and headed (minimally south) east. Case spotted them first but we all heard them. Case was just the idiot to look closest to the sun. The interesting thing was that I saw an orb like object that may have been a reflection off of…quien sabe (who knows)????,,, It was intriguing and I called it out to Case. He did not see it before it disappeared in thin air. It was not too far (enough to see it clearly orb white) to my right (north marginally east), that happened at 2:40. Then we saw the fighter jets at 3PM. There were three in formation with one flying in front of the back two, almost a triangle formation. Then at 3:05 PM Case saw the same (explanation of the) orb to his left (south marginally east). We couldn’t sight it before it disappeared in the sky. Case became very interested in what we were doing now.

The third sighting through the fifth sighting occurred on 4-5-08 from 10:40PM to 12:00AM. We were situated on County Road 372 off of 219. It was at the first big turn on 372. We were waiting and waiting looking into the deep night sky only seeing stars and constellations. The car faced north, and we were viewing the whole sky. We saw nothing, and headed towards the car to turn on the lights and put everything in the car. We sat down almost started the car before we heard the humming in the air coming from right in front of us. The humming was close. We got out of the car and looked up north towards the two flying objects. The humming was plane like. Case and his friend began freaking out like it literally was a UFO. We began discerning and insulting each other’s opinions. I believe the two objects were air force jets or US planes that were being tested/flown around almost on patrol for some reason. There is a video of these two together as they flew. The continued flying (only two car lengths in front of us) mainly east/marginally north towards the left of the Stephenville city lights as if they were going to fly past west of Stephenville. They disappeared into the distant sky flying together. They flew next to each other…both planes the same type…close together, about a school bus lengths away from each other and the further one away from us was a little…A LITTLE…behind the one closest to us. It was about an exact plane’s width away (not long at all) from the other. On one wing there was a red light, on the other a white light. On both wings they had one larger flickering light. It went bam bam bam bam bam in a strobe like matter. Then it paused for a second, and it strobe-lit up again…bam bam bam bam bam…then pause…then bam bam bam bam bam. You get the point, the lights were very very bright and strobe like as they cruised past us slowly but straight path. It looked very uniform as they passed together. I imagine they saw our car lights on. That was at 10:40PM.

Allow me to set my reactions, I feel bad for doing this because if we release some of the US’ secret work, technology and/or weapons then we’re idiots as we’re giving other governments our secret and future fighter planes/objects. But the thing is, if these are being used to bomb a country, not to name any, then the US are idiots for having such obvious flying planes. The lights were unlike any commercial flyer or air force jet I’ve seen (not that I’ve seen the lights of many fighter planes of any air force type). Furthermore, if these planes are out of this world technology, then what are they flying these for?

Here’s the fourth sighting that occurred that night. This one could have very well been one of the same plane from the second sighting group. Before I get into this, here’s what I think happened. These two objects flew, out of our sight, out to their limit going east. I presume they split up and headed really high into our atmosphere. If not, these were different objects we saw really high up. Presumably, heading east, the plane furthest from us must have curved, in a long circle, north and then west, south and then back east where we began to see it before it reached higher in the sky as it curved north and then west. It must have been in our atmosphere but went really really high up after heading north. The other object must have split south and curved west, north and finally east as it curved around. We saw this one on the other side but did not get any video of it. In total, we saw two objects way up high circling an almost set area. It was going so fast that it passed right over us and continued to circle. If this plane was not the same as the second sighting. It may be because this plane had two strobe-light blinkers and one light in the middle that was lit by a different light source?bulb? This is the one Cliff and his crew saw. I called Cliff at 11:40 to report the sighting. It passed over us at 11:30PM.

The fifth sighting appeared as close as the two that flew next to us. It was around 12AM. This one was much slower then the group. Like the sighting of the group, we were facing north watching it go by, only this time the differently shaped plane was going west. We were leaving again when we got out of the truck and looked up at the object heading west about two car lengths ahead of us (we were looking north). It had a curved-edges-triangle shaped back with a large orange light in the middle of its back. Maybe the top of the back was aerodynamics? To the right and left of the orange light were unique red and white flicker-patterns of light. The red on the right and the white equally on the opposite side of the back. The red and white lights were not as strong or bright as the orange middle light. The red and white lights made different arrangements of (same spot, electric light) flickers while the orange remained constant. It made noise and was, again, very low.

Those were the sightings in Erath County. I believe this are air force planes from the nearest air force base. They made a noise while passing through. It was a hum. The fourth sighting didn’t make a noise. It may have been too high. It had similar features to the second sighting group. Blink of lights, but it differed as this one had three lights besides the red and white. This one had a dimmer light in the middle of the two strobes. Also, there is film of these that just needs to be put on the computer. Sighting five has no recording as we were all ready to go.
