If what follows sounds like a scene from the sci-fi disaster flick Independence Day, imagine what President George W. Bush must have thought on the night of January 8, 2008 as he contemplated his ranch home in Crawford, Texas.
At around 8:00 pm, an enormous, hovering craft with ridiculously bright lights, at least 1,000 feet long (though some witnesses said a mile long), was tracked on multiple radars heading straight for the president's ranch at low speed. The craft lacked a required transponder, was totally unidentified, did not respond to any attempts at communication, and was flying through restricted airspace.
The craft had been observed during the previous hour and a half by a multitude of witnesses, including a constable, a former air traffic controller, the chief of police, and a private pilot. It was apparently doing the impossible. The object was alternately hovering, slowly cruising at low altitude, and suddenly accelerating to over 2,000 miles per hour. No known aircraft of any nation is remotely this size or can perform maneuvers like this.
The private pilot, Steve Allen, told the local paper that "[w]e all flipped out. I didn't sleep a wink last night." Allen had been at the home of Mike Odom in Selden about 6:15 p.m. when they suddenly noticed flashing lights about "3,500 feet above ground level." Mr. Allen estimated the speed of the craft at "about 3,000 miles per hour," heading toward Stephenville.
President Bush must surely have expressed some frustration at the response of the United States Air Force. Later FOIA requests for radar data and flight logs from Carswell Air Station revealed that a squadron of F-16 Fighting Falcons was in the air nearby for 71 minutes during the incident.

It's all being used up by hipster chicks taking selfies of their dinner plates and their duck-faced twerking arses.
People all over the world can film incidents which might, literally, take mere seconds to occur: car accidents, the "knock-out game", police misconduct, robberies, murders, etc. - and they can get it all on crystal-clear hi-definition video. But no one can get even half decent footage of a low altitude 1,000 foot long aircraft flying at low altitude which stayed in the same area for more than an hour.
There are new UFO videos/pics practically daily. Sometimes with several people filming the same UFO or entire formations of UFOs.
The mainstream media ignores them for “some reason” and nobody official investigates. You used to see wild reports all the time in overseas media but not any more.
People have become numb to the idea that there are objects in the sky we can’t explain and government does not acknowledge them...
thats a nice ranch you have there Georgie... it would be a shame if something happened to it....
Quix!
Now there's a name from Freeper history.
Reminds me of the Monty Python sketch with a couple of mobsters trying to shake down the commander of an army base. Threatening to 'do up' an armored division and set fire to paratroops. 'Fires happen, Colonel", all of which could be avoided for 15 bob a week.
Sure is. I never knew what happened to him.
> We have all these iPhones with their built in cameras that can shoot photos and video. Everybody’s got one. So where is the glut of new high definition UFO images and video?
Having been interested in UFOs just about my whole life I’m amazed at the inability of anyone to get good clear closeup footage of just about any UFO especially with the new higher definition cameras. Having said that I have done lots of surveillance and am aware of the limitations of the high def cameras on the market we have today. The low light / infrared and autofocus features on the cameras available to the regular folks are still nowhere near the quality of the professional grade cameras and optics used by the news media.
Lack of evidence in and of itself does not necessarily disprove that an event happened.

Perhaps it was the “mother ship” coming for FairyKhan?
I see nothing wrong with that
He got into an argument with JR and got a little to snippy.
Maybe it was a truck full of aliens “flying” from south to north?
Sorry about that AirBorn. Please disregard.
Was there a Quix here? I remember Quidam.
Quidam is waiting... waiting
