Aug 8 2009 Arlington Texas UFO - A MASSIVE coverup

I just happened to stumble across this tonight. This thing needs to be looked at again.

MUFON bought the story - ATS bought the story - The interest and the threads died

We got snookered again! It was NOT an F-35, it was another Roswell ripped out from under our nose.

The only video I could find reference to was removed for "Terms of Use Violation"

I could only find 2 dead threads on this subject so sorry if there is something else there.

Following is information from a police officer who came forward after the event:

This report was done by Manuel Navarette at UFOcasebook


This report comes as a result of an interview with a member of the Dallas Police Department. I was approached by the officer who had read the article that I posted on www.ufoclearinghouse.webs.com about the incident in Dallas, Texas. He contacted me and we communicated via e-mail (his choice) and after he gave me information to verify that he was a member of the Dallas Police Department, He offered to give me information in regards to the incident that occurred on the evening of August 7th and early morning of August 8, 2009.

The only condition that he had was that he did not want to reveal his name, or any other information that would allow him to be identified by anyone of his superiors or by any of the agencies that were involved in the operation that night. I tentatively agreed, and then sought the advice of another one of my fellow researchers to see where I stood in regards to this. I then contacted him and agreed to his terms and set up a time for us to discuss the events of that evening.

The officer, who was an 8 year veteran of the Dallas Police Department, was assigned to normal street patrol in a particular section of the city (again information has been withheld per his request). He was called via his mobile phone and requested to report back to the district police station, no explanation was given, no words other than “We need you to report back to the station immediately” He was told that someone would meet him at the entrance and to do as he was instructed. As sudden as the call came, it ended with the other party simply hanging up.

The officer then proceeded to the station as instructed; when he arrived at the station, he noticed that other patrol cars were also arriving and that the other dozen or so officers looked just as confused as he did. The officer was met by a pair of men in black fatigues who greeted the officers, they then asked the officers to please, leave all communication items in their patrol cars. No radios, no mobile phones were to be taken inside with them.
After a short pause of bewildered mumbling, the officers complied and then were walked into the station; they were lead into one of the station briefing areas. They were met by a couple supervisors and more men in black fatigues.

The men were briefed that their help was needed to provide an impromptu escort for a truck carrying “cargo”. No other information was given, no questions were asked by the officers. They were told that this was a military operation and that they needed to act to secure the “cargo” and clean up the situation before the sun rose. They were told normally, military personnel would handle the situation, but since time was of the essence, they were going to use officers of the Dallas Police Department to secure the route the flat bed would take. The military officer in charge advised them that this was not going to be “pretty” and that “they had no time to wrap up the present, nice and neat”.

The officer at this point made the comment to me that he felt that this was not the first time this particular military officer had done this. When asked, the officer noted that the military personnel, who were in the room, including the officer, wore only the solid black fatigues, black combat boots and had no name tags, rank insignia, or unit designation on their uniforms.

It is here that the military officer instructed the officers that anything that happened during this “exercise” would have be held in the strictest secrecy, no one was allowed to talk about this, not to each other, not to their families, and not to fellow officers. The reports that they filled out would be handed directly to their supervisor who was instructed on how to handle those reports and hand them over to the military for safekeeping. The officer then stated that they were all required to sign a paper stating that they could be prosecuted for talking about this operation to anyone with out express permission from the United States government.

It was here that we took a few minutes break since the officer asked if we could take a few minutes break, he had to use the bathroom and grab bottled water. I agreed and pretty much did the same.

When we came back, we kind of re-capped the events up to the point, making sure to try to get as much as I could into the report. The officer again, reiterated that he would not give out any information that could possibly lead to his identification. I again agreed to his terms and proceeded with the interview.

The officer stated that he was given his instructions, he and four other officers were to block entrances to on ramps to Interstate 20, not allowing anyone access to the interstate till the convoy was safely down the road. He was instructed if the drivers were already on the interstate, to pull them over and hold them there until the convoy passed, using his car and himself, if possible to shield the driver and any passengers from seeing the flatbed as it passed by and continued down the road. They were instructed that the flat bed’s driver was instructed to keep driving as high a speed as he could without compromising the load’s integrity. Therefore it was up to the officers to keep the path clear of civilian vehicles.

The officer would not give specific details as to where exactly they met up with the truck or where the truck originated its journey. The officer threatened to end the interview if I kept insisting that he give out specific details. The only tidbit of information the officer gave me, was a passing comment that he was able to look out the window and see mixture of moon light and other lights reflecting off of Joe Pool Lake. The officer stated that they met a large semi- truck pulling a flat bed truck with what looked like a circular object on the back of it. The object was securely chained to the flat bed, but was uncovered. The object was a sort of dull gun metal grey from what he could see as the truck sped under the street lights. The officer noted that when the truck initially passed, there seemed to be a strange odor. The officer did not say if it came from the smoldering object on the back of the truck. He stated it smelt a lot like smoldering sulfur

The officer then described how the went about blocking the roads, while one blocked the exits or pulled over motorists, others would race ahead to clear out traffic and block other on-ramps and access points to the interstate, once the convoy had passed and gotten sufficiently down the road, he would then open the road back up and race to catch up and re-join the others in the rotation. He described how some of the government vehicles assisted them by blocking the on-ramps, he stated the vehicles carried four people in each one, each one of the passengers were dressed in full battle fatigues with body armor and carrying weapons. As the convoy wound its way through the interstate, the procedure was all the same, stop anyone already on the road, and block traffic from coming onto the interstate. The officer stated that they travelled approximately 10-12 miles before they were radioed instructions to proceed back to the station. When asked about the destination of the object, he responded that he did not know, others took over the job of escorting the truck and they were told to head back to the station post haste.

The officer then told of being met there by other men, these men did not wear fatigues, but wore suits. They were debriefed and told that they had taken part of a government response drill. That was being conducted in major cities through out the United States to gauge the response time of the military and local law enforcement to an incident such as the crash of a highly classified government plane or satellite. They were instructed, as before that they were not to speak of this; they would have to keep it to themselves for the sake of military security. They were then instructed on the procedure of turning in any reports that they had to write up to the police department supervisor.

At this point the officer’s family had returned home and the officer advised me that he did not want to speak with them present. He advised that we could make arrangements to speak again and wrap up the interview at a later time, when he would not expose the family to this. I agreed and advised him that I would write him back to set up the time.

I have written him back, twice and have not heard a response back, when I attempted to write him back a third time, the email came back to me as a failed to deliver. I therefore decided to publish as much as I could with the information given to me.

Very interesting. Classic MIB story.

I do recall recently seeing footage of a large flatbed with, what clearly appeared to be a saucer on the back.

Was there any press on this event?

This is intriguing.

I'm not familiar with this incident at all. Do you have any links to other information?

Thanks for posting, keep us informed!

There are two other threads on ATS, I will post links to them.

There is a youtube video cited in those threads but it is not of this event.
I went back and read both threads completely and there were obviously people there with intent to derail the threads.

There was a lot of activity on twitter and someone called into a local radio station about it.

The station later denied that there had ever been any mention of it on air and the recordings were deleted.

Anyone who lives in the Dallas or Arlington area should do some asking around and see if they can find anyone who will talk about it.

A lot of people dismissed the event since the UFO was not covered. The entire operation was carried out under cover of darkness and apparently the decision was made to just haul it out in the open since few people would see it.

There were no "wide-load" signs or the things one would normally see so I suspect it was picked up somewhere near Dallas and the whole thing done in a hurry.

Here is some good ol' ATS coverage of the event itself:
landing on i20? thread

I am so certain I saw a clear as day video of a saucer on a flatbed. It is a real loss I can't find it right now.

It might be the video that no longer works in this thread about the event, but I can't tell:
Allegedly UFO was Transported down Dallas Highway

www.abovetopsecret.com...

This is one of the threads

Okay well this is the thing about this. This is no longer a UFO, to us peaons it is, but it is very clear that somebody in the black-ops or government know exactly what these things are.

So that begs the question, do you think they are secret military craft or ET?

For anyone not familiar with this story, which as stated in the OP took place on August 7th and early 8th of this summer here are some threads on it:

Aug 8 - Did something crash in Arlington TX?

Allegedly UFO was Transported down Dallas Highway

Here are the two best picture available to my knowledge, posted on twitter pics shortly after being taken:

Although the F-35 theory is plausible, as there is a manufacturing plant in Texas, and with the wings removed does look similar to the object in question.

The problem with it being an F-35 is that if it crashed it wouldn't have such a definitive shape like it does. The bottom is still symmetrical and it still has a shape. Look at other airplane crashes, they are engineered to take high g-force loads while flying not take high impact crashes. It still has to maintain a certain weight. Also it isn't like the F-35 is super secret if an F-35 crashed they would have sent people out to investigate the crash not pack it up on the back of a flatbed in the middle of the night and haul it off.

I found this interesting, one of the people (witnesses) got hold of some pictures and information on twitter, as posted in the above posters link.

I went to the linked thread, and on one of the posts it had this.

I click the link and got this

Realtime results for dallas ufo 1. Buckliesly_normal Bucklie It's finally UFO Get ready!! 6 days ago from TweetDeck Older tweets are temporarily unavailable.

Seems the Twitter members page about this incident has become unavailable.

Coincidence? or am I reaching? I understand he may have removed it, however the story seems to have been cleared up everywhere else as well.

I find that very odd,by I was sent an URL the other day Candycab, I am going to try it to see if there is anything recorded on there, I do agree, this incident was sabotaged everywhere, even on here, led down the garden path comes to mind, one of my favs this year this story.

reply to post by Hastobemoretolife


The official story was that it was being transported, not crashed, so that would account for the intact shape. But I am not completely sold on the F-35 theory myself, I really don't know what to think about this one. Plus there have been rumors of MUFON not being able to be trusted to investigate this (and other recent cases), so I don't know. I would like to think MUFON can be trusted however, but it is noteworthy, as some very respectable people (in private conversations) have stated that either MUFON has a whole, or certain investigators may be shady(and I have heard that before).

Do you know what part of the F-35 they produce at the factory in Texas? It still doesn't make much sense, if it was a section of a F-35 coming from the factory there it would have been covered up(with a tarp) I'd be damned if I would have let a multi-million dollar section of a plane on the back of a flatbed exposed to who knows what coming from the road that the rig would pick up and throw back that could damage it.

Also from the bits and pieces that I have picked up for complete silence about the event is very weird. Of course there is always the explanation that it is a cover story conducted by the CIA, but then again the best hiding place is in plain site.

I don't know, the plane theory doesn't sit right with me.

While perhaps not from the same event, it is hard to ignore the similarity in this video. At least it will serve as a good visual:



Is it me, or does this look exactly the same as in the above photographs, only the craft is flipped the other way?

Does anyone care to tell me why the military wouldn't invest in a tarp to cover this thing, and secure the tarp to the sides of the trailer? It just seems odd that they would allow something secretive to be seen at all by civillians on the road.

I've been trying to pull out some detail from the images (2 twitter images) but with them being so small I can't really do much.
One thing you do notice though is the dark rectangular inset on the back of the object. Initially I thought it was shadow, but in the second image it's still visible and that image was virtually in-line behind it.

Does the mentioned airframe have a recess on the rear under-body?

I suppose my biggest two issues with this yet another anonymous source, is this:

Why didn't we hear ANY stories about civilians being pulled over by these police, if that was their job?

Why in the picture are there civilian cars around the truck, including one that took the picture?

For a supposed crack group of black fatigued ufo specialists, they did a pretty lousy job of securing this.

Can you dig up ANY stories of civies being pulled over?

...

Well, I did some cursory searches of archives for the local newspapers, and so far, nothing. No stories of civilians being pulled over on the 8th or 9th. Why no stories?

[edit on 15-12-2009 by fleabit]

This all sounds authentic, although some people give good points as to why this might not be real. But as far as I can tell this is a true MIB story..

Thanks for the info, I have a brother in Arlington, maybe he can dig some info for us?

Doesn't want to be ID't but then goes to give detail that he was 8 year veteran, on duty, called into cell phone and has family etc?
