As much as the US Military would like us to think that what the town of Stephenville saw was nothing more than a military training mission with common everyday fighter jets, there is no denying that there was something out of the ordinary in the sky that night. Today I came across an article in the Stephenville Empire-Tribune that got me thinking that whatever was over Stephenville is from a little closer to home than many people may be considering.

The article is about Stephenville resident Ricky Sorrells, who was allegedly threatened by the US Military if he didn’t stop talking about what he saw. While Sorrells’s story of government intimidation is week on verifiable details (though the thought of being harassed by the government is scary enough that I wish him the best of luck), there is one little pearl hidden in the article that is definitely worth exploring (and I think many people are overlooking). Sorrells claims to have seen the craft that flew over Stephenville on 4 different occasions and he describes the craft as being 3 to 4 football fields in length. While not incredibly descriptive in the least, it did get me thinking about a potential terrestrial source of the craft that if true would be straight out of science fiction. In the movie “Sky Captain and The World of Tomorrow” (coincidentally a very good movie if you haven’t seen it), the heros land on massive aircraft that serves as an aircraft carrier/air base. I wondered, could the Air Force be developing a similar platform?
