TLF: UFO’s Spotted In Texas. Where Were Richardson And Kuchinich?

Did anyone see Denis Kuchinich or Bill Richardson in Texas over night?

In this farming community where nightfall usually brings clear, starry skies, residents are abuzz over reported sightings of what many believe is a UFO.

Several dozen people – including a pilot, county constable and business owners – insist they have seen a large silent object with bright lights flying low and fast. Some reported seeing fighter jets chasing it.

“People wonder what in the world it is because this is the Bible Belt, and everyone is afraid it’s the end of times,” said Steve Allen, a freight company owner and pilot who said the object he saw last week was a mile long and half a mile wide. “It was positively, absolutely nothing from these parts.”

Fighter jets? That is how mega conspiracy theories start.

And, how about that “end of times” stuff? I am sure that was included by the AP for two reasons: 1. to paint people in “flyover country” as religious cranks, and 2. to paint America as a doomed nation.

UFOs do seem to be sighted MUCH more frequently in Red States.

Colorado is one of the top three states for UFO spotting. Colorado traditionally has not been faithful to one party. Currently our governor and the state legislature are Democrat controlled and the DNC is going to be held here.

Your attempt at insulting Republicans is once again pathetic. Way to represent John.

John also forgets that Richardson was the Gov of a good Red state.

UFO’s are cool.

well it could just be that the UFOs are shy and prefer to fly around in the areas that most choose not to live.
Stacy it also could be that the UFOs like Red State Republicans I really can’t say for sure why they appear more frequently over Red States, do you have an opinion why they do ?

As far as being religios cranks I always check the Rapture Index (which shows how close we are to the ‘End Times”) whenever things seem to get scary. It was not comforting that the Index is at 163 !! http://www.raptureready.com/rap2.html
Don’t get left behind !!
