Bomber and UFO
On the night of July 17, 1957, an RB-47 jet bomber took off from Forbes Air Base in Kansas for a training flight. It had electronic warfare systems. The crew of the aircraft is six people, all officers and high-class specialists. The plane headed for the Gulf of Mexico.
After completing the training mission, the plane was already turning around to return to base, but at four o'clock in the morning, an unidentified target appeared on its radars. The bomber's speed was 800 kilometers per hour, but the object easily approached him and pursued him. The plane passed over the states of Mississippi, Louisiana and Texas, and the UFO did not lag behind. The unidentified object was guided by both the radars of the airports and military bases. An incomprehensible bright glow was noticed by both pilots and ground observers.
Electronic warfare equipment recorded electromagnetic pulses emanating from the object. Over Louisiana, the object approached the bomber, and the commander even ordered the crew to prepare for battle, but the UFO passed over the plane and disappeared, heading into Oklahoma airspace.
Light in Stephenville
In the twenty-first century, one of the most famous UFO sightings was what is commonly referred to as the "light at Stephenville."
This small town, located in Texas, on January 8, 2008, lit up with a bright celestial flash. At six o'clock fifteen minutes in the evening, lights were seen over the city, moving along complex trajectories. The military sent F-16 fighters to find out what was happening, but after a couple of days they already said that there was no combat aviation in the area.

When an official request was made, the Federal Aviation Administration replied that eight fighters from 457 Squadron appeared over the city at six o'clock seventeen minutes, which left the zone only half an hour later. After all this got to the press, the military had to admit that their pilots were still over Stephenville that day. But now it was claimed that the military was conducting exercises and the lights seen by the people were signal flares.
At the same time, radar data indicated that there were far from rockets in the sky over the city, but large objects moving at supersonic speed. Confirmation of the strange lights was received from police officers who saw them. One of them, who filmed what was happening, was subsequently interrogated by the military. No intelligible explanation for what happened in Stephenville was given by the authorities.
