I wonder why we didn't see this in the big newspapers. Maybe we missed it.:shrug:

Mystery object found near Glen Rose


STEPHENVILLE - Scientists from the University of Texas at Arlington and Texas Christian University recently visited the property of Somervell County rancher Corky Underwood after he reported finding a strange object and a large crater.

Underwood and his daughter were checking the property for weather-related damage when they came upon the crater that measures 70 feet by 40 feet. Inside the crater was what he described as a "teardrop-shaped object" which Underwood said is about the size of a washing machine.

. . .

One scientist said the rock-like object may have been there for millions of years and was just unearthed by whatever crashed onto the ranch.


Hmm. Wonder what would crash into the ranch and make a 40x70 crater?

1. Maybe it was the arrival of this kid?

2. could be one of the thousands(?) of space junk we've sent up

reshaped by the atmosphere on re-entry.

7. No, not unless we are sending limestone up there

It was a ROCK!

8. So, I wonder what dug the hole?

To unearth the the rock.

3. Checking on weather damage, find a 40' X 70' crater? That was SOME weather

Seriously, this is interesting. Will hope we get more on this soon.

4. What a poorly written article.

It provides no information of any value whatsoever.

I'd be curious to learn more, because right now we know nothing!

5. It's a tiny little newspaper

One of the big thrills recently around the lake was one of the residents went to live in Ireland and wrote letters back home. They were published in the Lakelander and sales shot through the roof. :-)

9. Ah! I see!

The paper in my town could easily fill three days' worth of print with an investigation of a pie stolen from a window sill, so I see what you mean.

Still, I'd like a little more meat in this story, if only to dismiss certain wild speculations (e.g., "it was a misfiring space laser" or the like).

10. Oh, gosh

The meteor is news, but this story has all of Whitney in a stir.

This is the second time in less than a year that there have been legitimate UFO sightings around the lake. My own FIL saw one with my SIL last year in mid-day. Lots of folks got it on video, and my FIL said there was no way in hell the Air Force was telling the truth in the "official" story. That one made the news around Texas and just was pffftd away by our benevolent government.

This story is a little better written. They really do have a Dew Drop Inn.:)
