STEPHENVILLE — Over a three-month period this summer there were 1,000 UFO sightings filed with the National UFO Reporting Center.
Some 75 of those UFOs were reported over the state of Texas.
Stephenville is one hot spot we've shown you before.
Now the small town is getting buzzed by UFOs again and we have the video.
"You could see the oval shape. Got my friend, I said 'dude, you got to come look at this,'" said Andy Monrreal.
Monrreal was hanging out with his Dublin High School friends when they all saw something they say looked like a UFO.
"You could see a shape. It was like a complete circle," said Monrreal.
He rolled off a half minute of video on his mom's digital camera.
His dad saw it too.
"I never seen nothing like that in my life. Big lights and everything," his father said.
So did mom.
"It was a round thing. You could see lights around it, flickering and changing. It was awesome. Just turning and flickering," she said.
Back in January, Erath County went UFO crazy after a handful of people reported similar lights over Stephenville.
International press and UFO hunters descended on the town.
This time, many more eye witnesses are phoning the Stephenville Empire Tribune or the ET.
Reporter Whitney Ashley said many people don't want to talk publicly, like several workers at the paper, who also saw the lights.
"I've got at least 10 right now willing to go on record," Ashley said.
"The sheriff's department got lots of calls in the southern part of Erath County."
Down around Dublin, home of DR Pepper.
The Joint Reserve Base in Fort Worth confirms seven F-16s training in the area at the time.
Several witnesses told us they saw the fighters, after they saw the mysterious lights.

Texas – Bright Oval
DUBLIN — On October 21, 2008, the small town near Stephenville is getting buzzed by UFOs again that continued for several days. “You could see their oval shape. Andy Monrreal, who was hanging out with his Dublin High School friends all saw something they say looked like a UFO. “You could see a shape. It was like a complete circle,” said Monrreal. He rolled off a half minute of video on his mom’s digital camera. His dad saw it too. “I never seen nothing like that in my life. Big lights and everything,” his father said. “It was a round thing. You could see lights around it, flickering and changing. It was awesome. Many more eye witnesses are phoning the Stephenville Empire Tribune. “These don’t look like conventional flying lights of any kind,” said Jay Miller, aviation photographer. “They don’t look extra-terrestrial to me. They look very much man-made,” said Miller. http://www.khou.com/news/local/stories/khou081027_mp_stephenville-ufo-sitings.155dda835.html
LEANDER – On October 23, 2008, on 6:15 PM, my brother and I along with five other people saw what we think was a UFO. It was coming across the sky at a slow rate and lasted about 7 seconds then shot off really fast and disappeared about 20 miles north of Austin.
I think it was a UFO because I watched this show on UFO’s and it looked just like the ones on that TV show. It was a white oval shaped object bright like the sun and as big as a full moon. There was no sound at all. It came across the sky at a slow rate with no trail behind it and disappeared.
Comments: No satellites were visible at the time of his sighting. I have no explanation for this sighting. Thanks to William Puckett UFOS Northwest http://ufosnw.com
LUFKIN – John E. Combest writes, “On October 24, 2008, I saw an aerial vehicle that was not a conventional aircraft while driving northward along Highway 59 in fairly heavy traffic near the loop around Lufkin. I noticed a buzzard and saw a glint in the blue sky that was made by some object moving slowly through the clear blue sky at almost two miles high. Its major dimension quickly rotated into view so as to reflect sunlight much like an airplane wing often does. Its apparent length was approximately 3/16″ at arm’s length. And the broad area of this object (length about four times its width) appeared to be elliptical in shape. I think the object was first seen end-on where it appeared to be about 1/2 as thick as it was wide, and it quickly rotated the opposite end upward to reveal the broader elliptical shape which reflected the sunshine for about one second - after which it again leveled out so that I saw only one end of the object). Its color against the light blue sky resembled that of bare aluminum, and after it leveled out it was very difficult to see the small end of the object which no longer reflected sunlight. I observed the object for no more than about six seconds. When a looked back up a few seconds later, I could no longer see the object Thanks to John E. Combest.
