Texas Official Demands Answers About Alleged UFO

STEPHENVILLE (CBS 11 News) ? Dozens of Stephenville residents reported seeing UFOs in the area in January. At first, the military reported there were no aircraft in the area that night. Two weeks later, officials said they were conducting training exercises in the area.

Now some city officials want to know if a government exercise was being performed, why they weren’t notified ahead of time.

“I want to know why public officials weren’t notified of a large military operation in our area,” said Stephenville City Councilmember Mark Murphy. He has filed a complaint with U. S. Air Force and the Federal Aviation Administration, demanding answers.

“My main concern is public safety,” said Councilman Murphy. “I want to make sure that if anything like this is going on, people are alerted.”
