Stephenville UFO witness loses sleep due to nocturnal flyovers
... by low-flying jet aircraft, that is.
Cattleman and rural Stephenville area resident Ricky Sorrells was an oft-quoted witness to the recent UFO "flap" event that took place in the skies over that region. He claims to have seen a giant metallic object hovering over his property on no fewer than four occasions.
Now, he's claiming that somebody high up in the military is singling him out for harassment by scheduling frequent flyovers of his property by F-16s and other military aircraft. According to Sorrells, the flyovers are occurring at low altitude and at "all hours of the day and night."
Not only is Sorrells' sleep being disturbed, so is that of his cattle.
Sounds like he might want to lay off that spotlighting of the helicopter pilots, though: such behavior could be taken as an aggressive (and response-worthy) action on his part. ('Course, it is his property...)

There is also the issue of the reporter Angelia Joiner who was the lead journalist on this story. She was told repeatedly to stop covering the UFO incident. She gave her 2 weeks notice then was asked to pack her stuff and leave. Why would the Stephenville Empire-Tribune newspaper order it's employees not to cover something that the world obviously wants to know about? I saw this story printed in China even before our major media outlets had it, an obvious sign that it would be world news even before it got off the ground. From a business perspective it seems the Stephenville Empire-Tribune newspaper would benefit from the attention of their new found market. Was their pressure and removal of this reporter an order that came from higher up? Heres a link to the first story I found on this, there are several other articles of this nature availible on the net; http://www.americanchronicle.com/arti...
It used to be easier to suppress us and hide things, now we've got communication networks and can share thanks to people like Pegasus News who allow us to post comments!

Just start making them yourself, and sell 'em a couple of miles outside of Stephenville.
Margin on that's gotta be ridiculous. Probably easier than opening a no-smoking bar, anyways.
