No offense, NGCHunter, but the Ponzo illusion probably doesn't apply to this case. I find it odd that you are using weakly linked phenomena to question the observations of something you weren't even present to analyze. Sounds like arbitrary negation of other's perceptions. Not particularly scientific.

How do you know it doesn't apply? It was in the sky and you're trying to put some kind of weight on a person's wild ass guess as to the object's size? The fact is that the ponzo illusion shows how completely useless nake eye measurements of an object's size are unless you have a constant point of reference of known angular size. Even the most ardent but intelligent ufologists will tell you that if you experience a sighting, measure the angular size of the object with your fist. THAT is the only way to get a real measurement of the object'ss size. From there, you still must have a way to infer the object's distance to be able to calculate its size, but to suggest that a lay witness could perform such a calculation in their head without knowing the true angular size is just plain silly.

I'm glad ET/Majestic 12 helped us out with this UFO sighting.
I'm sick of the endless political analysis.
I hope the UFO gets closer so they can take a pic.
My guess is that THIS ufo was one ours. (U.S. Military)

There is nothing in the links that state the UFO was 300ft above ground. That was in ANOTHER sighting that one guy says he can "come forward" with after the Stephenville sighting (the 300ft part was in Dublin).
Ooops!Thanks for bringing that to my attention Merka.I stand corrected.

I believe that I read another UFO report of an airline pilot that witnessed a mile long object a few months back.So this wouldn't be the first time a object of this size was reported.I'll see if I can find a link to that sighting.

Edit:Heres the link to the previous report of a UFO that big.UFO sighting

I live in sville. my gma that lives here too said that she heard it was going down hwy 67 which is towards glen rose. glen rose is where the nuclear power plant is. maybe there is a connection.
