FORT WORTH, Texas — So much for aliens in Texas dairy country.

At least that was the message Wednesday when the military said 10 F-16 fighter jets were training in the Stephenville area the night dozens of residents reported seeing a UFO.

Although Air Force Reserve officials in Fort Worth initially said none of their planes were in the area Jan. 8, they said Wednesday that they were mistaken and wanted to set the record straight “in the interest of public awareness.”

But some residents remain convinced that it was no human-made aircraft, saying the military’s revelation actually bolsters their claims. Some insist they saw at least two fighter jets chasing a large object with bright lights.

“This supports our story that there was UFO activity in that area,” said Kenneth Cherry, the Texas director of the Mutual UFO Network, which took more than 50 reports from locals at a meeting last weekend. “I find it curious that it took them two weeks to ’fess up. I think they’re feeling the heat from the publicity.”
