Mile-long 'spaceship' is spotted by more than 300 people in Texas in one of America's most compelling UFO cases ever, reveals new Steven Spielberg-produced Netflix doc 'Encounters'

[Trelane]

I'll believe  it when I see 300 witness statements. Smells a lot like the old Phoenix Lights sensationalism to me.

Supposedly sixteen years ago hundreds of people witnessed a UFO which would be among the most witnesses of a single UFO ever... and we're just hearing about it now? On Netflix?

With no verifiable evidence and only hearsay, it's just another lurid tale.

Astro, me man... did you read the link? 

The mass sighting made national news in 2008 with coverage in the Associated Press, the Los Angeles Times, and on National Public Radio.

Hammer, they said they got radar data from the FAA. I suppose you don't have to believe them, just saying.

Show me an independent source confirming the data. I don't believe a damned thing.

No you wouldn't. You've proven your intentional denialism over, and over. One could land on your foot, and you still wouldn't admit it was a ufo.

Of course, if it landed on his foot it'd no longing be an unidentified flying object - it's be an Unidentified Foot-stomping Object.   But still a UFO ....


Back to the alleged incident, and media reports at the time don't quite match with what is now being claimed

That's exactly what I found: nothing. Yeah, the Daily Mail article implied that it was all over the media at the time but I couldn't find a single article on any sighting that matched the description in their article. If it really happened then it must be the most important UFO sighting in the past fifty or sixty years. I mean a publication like the Daily Mail wouldn't publish something if it isn't true, right?

I did get hit after hit of Netflix promoting this new show so they're doing a job of bringing this "forgotten" incident back into the light. Maybe it can be the next Roswell.

You're a doubting Thomas, as am I. I understand. 
There are ways. One is - get into the field yourself. I did see a UFO once, and I trust me. So I know UFOs exist. 

Don't believe me...?  Oh, well, go fish

So have I, yet I have no real proof, either. UFOs are cosmic teases and I'm over them.
