Summary/Description: My son saw this on his way to work.
He drives from Denton, by way of the back roads. Its a faster route to work. At approx. 6.50am he turned east on sr.455 from Running Bear road. He saw bright white lights coming over the hill, on the opposite side of the dam. His first thought was (air craft). He had been in the Navy, in the past. He is familiar with aircraft. He started looking for the red and green lights. Not only did he not see them, but it was flying very slow approx. 30 mph. 30-50 yards away. It seemed to be hugging the shore line, flying at eye level.
He slowed down, opened the car window, observed the craft as it went past. It made no sound at all. Black and gray in color. Delta shape. No bigger than his 1978 thunderbird. Rectangular rear, with three large round openings in side. No apparent thrust, no fire, etc. The top of the craft looked as if it had an extended canopy. Running about three quarters of the way down the fuselage. It was metallic as well. The bottom looked like it had panel lines. As I said, it had three white lights under it. Non blinking! He stopped by the house for a refill on his coffee, told my wife about it, drew a picture of the craft, and wrote down all details, then went off to work.
After telling a co-worker at the shop his story, the guy told him he had seen it as well. But thinking people would think he was nuts, didn’t say anything. His friend had seen it in Sanger (the town on the other side of the dam). Later the news cast ran a story on a sighting in Stephenville Tx. Thay are approx. 60 mi. south of us. The object they saw, was very large. I see no comparison to that craft, but wonder if they are related in some way. All I have to say is, is it one of ours? (This technology is out of this world.)
The 2008 Denton encounter provides a unique technical perspective on the “Delta” craft phenomenon due to the witness’s background as a Navy veteran. Unlike many sightings that occur at high altitudes, this craft was observed at “eye level” while hugging the shoreline of the Ray Roberts Dam, allowing for an incredibly detailed description of its metallic hull, panel lines, and extended canopy.
While the witness noted the proximity in time to the famous Stephenville mass sighting 60 miles to the south, the scale of this craft—described as no larger than a 1978 Thunderbird—suggests a different class of vehicle. The absolute silence of the propulsion system and the absence of traditional navigation lights (red/green) continue to mark this as a standout case in the Texas archives, leaving researchers to wonder if such advanced engineering represents classified terrestrial technology or something truly unidentified.
