UFO or no UFO?

Why didn't the military come out and say they were training in the area in the first place? Are they trying to cover up a new secret flying machine? Are they trying to cover up an actual UFO incident? Are they just plain incompetent?

I have never seen a UFO, but I don't doubt they could exist. Why not?

Perhaps because prototypes are supposed to be, you know, secret? And that might be what the two fighters were observing/escorting?

Maybe because that excuse is so overused and old...

There are a lot of maybes and perhaps' here.


Ask yourself this: Why would they be flying a top secret aircraft in a civilian area? Does that make any sense to you at all? Because they want people to think it's a UFO, so that they can practice covering it up?

Maybe because that's all that's happening.

You'd think someone who was in the military would understand that...

UFO: Unindentified flying object.

Yes, what those people in Texas saw was Definitely a UFO.

Was it a flying saucer?

Probably not.

My point is that what they saw was most likely an aircraft, that someone knew what it was, and that there is a simple explaination for this.

Plausible deniability is in place.

Jets responsible for Texas UFO sightings, military says (http://www.yahoo.com/s/790327)

It's a Yahoo! video so it might not work >_<

It's obviously them.

And by them, naturally I mean The Russians.

Then why did the military deny it the first time? Oh, it was the reserves and everyone knows they are not fully trained for issues like this. ...beam me up Scottie.

Nice pic!
Eeek!
(to Mulder) Have you ever flown a flying saucer? Afterwards sex seems trite.
That was Detective Manners. He said they just found your "bleepin'" UFO.
