There were some who joked
that the "aliens" were in the area
seeking the rare Dublin Dr Pepper
beverage.
Many reporters and photog-
raphers, mostly based in the
Metroplex and north Texas area,
joined the throng of UFO witness-
es and the curious onlookers at the
MUFON meeting. One television
crew was from as far away as San
Francisco. California.
Two MUFON executives
from Texas, Steve Hudgeons,
Senior Field Investigator from
Forth Worth, and Ken Cherry, the
state director, conducted a press
conference-
Before the press conference
proceeded to a questions and
answer session, Hudgeons asked
the UFO witnesses in the crowd to
go to a separate room where a
team of MUFQN investigators
would interview them.
Approximately 50 witnesses
entered .in the interview room
where they were provided ques-
tionnaires to fill in amj an oppor-
tunity to visit with a MUFON
investigator.

they saw. We just want to find out
what they did see. And then we'll
report back to our headquarters in
lake as long as a year, given the
large number of witnesses.
Regardless of the investiga-
tion’s findings, the mass LIEQ
sightings have attracted a great
deal of attention, and will likely

the high, thin clouds.
Quite a few at the meeting
seemed to have less serious moti-
vations. There were several who
were wearing aluminum foil hats
of various designs and others w ore
a variety of locally-produced T-
shirts commerating the UFO
sightings. Some held up humor-
ous signs, some had decorated
pets ’and many just wanted to see
what was undoubtedly the best
free show available in the area.
-Many were from the Metroplex
and other parts of the state.
After the press conference
was concluded and the witnesses'
statements taken, much work w ill
remain for the MUFON investiga-
tors. There will likely- be follow-
up interviews and freedom of
information requests for military
radar logs and aircraft activity
information. A formal report on
the investigation’s findings is not
expected before April, but could
prominent mention in the annals
of UFO enthusiasts.

Kiel's photo, however, was
taken in the late afternoon and ear-
lier than most of the other UFO
Colorado. If there arc any follow- sightings, and appeared to show
ups needed, we'll do follow-ups."
Hudgeons noted that what
makes this sighting more unusual
than others is- the credibility and
the number of witnesses coming
forward.
Both Hudgeons and Ken
Cherry described the local inci-
dent as the largest mass UFO
sighting since the lights over
Phoenix, Arizona, in I99T.
The MUFON group brought
large maps onto which the loca-
tion of both the witnesses and the
UFO sightings could be plotted in
hopes of triangulating the aerial
phenomenon's locations.
There were some who had
photographs or videos that they
believed to show the UFO's.
Sean Kiel, the Kentucky
truck driver whose cell phone
photo appeared on the front page
of Friday's Fort Worth Star-
Telegram. was there with his cell
phone, seeking the person who
had offered a $5,000 reward for a

meeting, Hudgeons described
MUFON as a 2,500 member,
world-wide organization with
around 800 field investigators and
100 Ph.D scientific consultants:
Hudgeons noted that they
normally receive 10-15 UFO
reports each week in Texas, but
quickly added. "In the last three
days I have had about a hundred
hits of UFO reports that are being
reported, and it's because of the
Stephenville incident. That’ti what
got us alerted to it. A few people
reported in about the Stephenville
thing and said you need to come
dow n and look into it, and we just
started reading the reports and
looking into it and making some
phone calls... It’s just been bal-
looning." ■
Hudgeons voiced concents
that because of the heavy media
attention many witnesses might
not show up.
He continued. "I have pulled
investigators from Austin. Waco,
one possibly from Abilene. Dallas
and Tarrant County. We’re gonna
investigate, ask questions of the
witnesses, and see exactly what
they saw. We’re not really here to
