An organization called the Mutual UFO Network has been talking with residents who say they spotted something mysterious in the night skies over Stephenville.

Investigators from the group met over the weekend at the Stephenville Rotary Club Building with about 200 people who said they saw what may have been UFOs in the sky over the community in late December and early January.

As members of the group met with witnesses, at least a couple hundred onlookers gathered as well, some wearing aluminum-foil hats.

Several dozen people including a pilot, county constable and business owners insist they have seen a large silent object with bright lights flying low and fast.

Some reported seeing fighter jets chasing it.

The sightings have attracted international attention.

The MUFON investigators say the number who saw the lights and the distance between the witnesses makes the sighting significant.

As of now, MUFON investigators say no photographs or video of the UFO have yet surfaced.

But they say they will get to the bottom of the mystery, and over the next few months hope to produce a report about the witness accounts.
