We have been recently contacted by a few witnesses looking for details about UFO activity in Texas in the summer of 1978, concretely around Dallas, and have found some interesting reports that we are now publishing with the hope to contact more witnesses and clear things up.

This story is published as is, exactly as we received it.

A few days ago we received this testimony of a shocking alien encounter in Quinlan, Texas. We publish the story as the witness wrote it.

Have you seen a bright light, flash, or flare in the sky during a few seconds? Did you think you saw a UFO? You are probably a witness of an Iridium flare.

"On September 19, 2009, a Black Brant XII that was launched to study clouds caused numerous calls from the northeastern U.S. reporting "strange lights in the sky". NASA reported that the light came from an artificial noctilucent cloud formed by the exhaust particles of the rocket's fourth stage at an altitude of about 278 km (173 mi)." (wikipedia)

In 1967 I was a UFO investigator. I was doing sightings in and around the Massachusetts and New Hampshire area. From Exeter and beyond I was doing UFO investigations for CAPER and APRO. I was also working with Ray Fowler on several other cases locally in the Northern Massachusetts, Southern New Hampshire area.
