Investigation Opens After 30 Residents Claim They Saw a UFO Flying Over Their Town

By MIKE VON FREMD

Jan. 18, 2008 —

UFO investigators flock to Stephenville, Texas!

A team of six investigators from the Mutual UFO Network will be interviewing citizens of Stephenville, Texas who say they spotted an Unidentified Flying Object at sunset on January 8th.

The Mutual UFO Network is a non-governmental group interested in documenting UFO’s. State director Ken Cherry says the network has received calls from 50 citizens who say they witnessed the UFO and that the number and credibility of the people is exceptional.

The rural Texas town has attracted world wide attention after the sightings. The Local Newspaper, the “Stephenville Empire-Tribune” has received calls from as far away as Finland and Japan as people remain fascinated about the reports of a giant bright object in the sky that witnesses say was a mile long.

It remains the talk of the town and the Stephenville High School Science Club is now selling T-shirts to cash in on the craze.

Stephenville prides itself on being the dairy capital of Texas and the shirts that sell for ten dollars have a picture of a Holstein cow being beamed up to a flying saucer.

Not Just Tabloid News

More than 30 residents of Stephenville, Texas, claim to have seen a UFO, described as a mile-wide, silent object with bright lights, flying low and fast. And now it’s actual front-page news. So what was it?

“It was very intense, bright lights,” said local newspaper reporter Angela Joyner.

“The lights were like going like this,” said Constable Leroy Gateman making hand gestures to describe what he saw when he spotted the UFO.

Rick Sorrells says he saw it while he was hunting deer in the woods.

“You look at the trees, and it was right here,” Sorrells told ABC News correspondent Mike Von Fremd as he showed him the location in the woods where he spotted the UFO.

Steve Allen, a 50-year-old pilot, was at a campfire with friends and says the object was a mile long and half a mile wide. “I don’t know if it was a biblical experience or somebody from a different universe or whatever but it was definitely not from around these parts,” Allen said.

Allen drew a sketch of the object, which he said traveled at amazing speed without making a sound. While drawing, Allen told Von Fremd that he saw “an arch shape converted in a vertical shape, and then it split and made two of them, and then these turned into just fire and it was gone.”

A spokesman for the 301st Fighter Wing in Fort Worth says no aircraft from his base was in the area, and says the objects may have been an illusion caused by two commercial airplanes. But those who saw the lights don’t buy that explanation.

“It’s an unidentified flying object,” insisted a former Air Force technician.

“It was so fast I couldn’t track it with my binoculars,” said Gateman.

Constable Leroy Gateman describes what he saw in the sky.

Some in Stephenville are a bit embarrassed about all the attention. “It’s crazy,” said one teenage girl in town.

“A lot of folks aren’t used to this kind of thing. They are not UFO nuts or anything like that around here,” said City Councilman Mark Murphy.

Like it or not, all eyes are now trained on the sky over Stephenville to see whether any mysterious flying objects make a return.

What Is It?

Bipolar disorder, which used to be called manic depressive illness or manic depression, is a mental disorder characterized by wide mood swings from high (manic) to low (depressed).

Periods of high or irritable moods are called “manic” episodes. The person becomes very active, but in a scattered and unproductive way, sometimes with painful or embarrassing consequences. Examples are spending more money than is wise or getting involved in sexual adventures that are regretted later. A person in a manic state is full of energy or very irritable, may sleep far less than normal, and may dream up grand plans that could never be carried out. The person may develop thinking that is out of step with reality — psychotic symptoms — such as false beliefs (delusions) or false perceptions (hallucinations). During manic periods, a person may run into trouble with the law. If a person has milder symptoms of mania and does not have psychotic symptoms, it is called a “hypomanic” episode.

Bipolar disorder is now divided into two subtypes (bipolar I and bipolar II). Bipolar I disorder is the classic form where a person has had at least one manic episode. In bipolar II disorder, the person has never had a manic episode, but has had at least one hypomanic episode and at least one period of severe depression. Bipolar II disorder may be more common than Bipolar I. A third disorder, closely related to bipolar disorder, is cyclothymia — people with this disorder fluctuate between hypomania and mild or moderate depression.

The vast majority of people who have manic episodes also experience periods of depression. If manic and depressive symptoms overlap for a period, it is called a “mixed” episode. In some people, moods alternate rapidly or it is difficult to tell which mood — depression or mania — is more prominent.

People who have one manic episode most likely will have others if they do not seek treatment. The illness tends to run in families. Unlike depression, in which women are more frequently diagnosed, bipolar disorder happens nearly equally in men and women. Bipolar I and II disorders occur in up to 4% of the population.

The most important risk of this illness is the risk of suicide. People who have bipolar disorder are also more likely to abuse alcohol or other substances.

Symptoms

During the manic phase, symptoms can include:

• High level of energy and activity
• Irritable mood
• Decreased need for sleep
• Exaggerated, puffed-up self-esteem
• Rapid or “pressured” speech
• Rapid thoughts
• Tendency to be easily distracted
• Increased recklessness
• False beliefs (delusions) or false perceptions (hallucinations)

During elated moods, a person may have delusions of grandeur, while irritable moods are often accompanied by paranoid or suspicious feelings.

During a depressive period, symptoms may include:

• Distinctly low or irritable mood
• Loss of interest or pleasure
• Eating more or less than normal
• Gaining or losing weight
• Sleeping more or less than normal
• Appearing slowed or agitated
• Fatigue and loss of energy
• Feeling worthless or guilty
• Poor concentration
• Indecisiveness
• Thoughts of death, suicide attempts or plans

Diagnosis

A mental health professional diagnoses bipolar disorder based on a person’s medical history and symptoms. The diagnosis is based not just on the current symptoms, but also on understanding the person’s problems and symptoms in the past.

People with bipolar disorder are more likely to seek help when they are depressed than when manic or hypomanic. It is important to tell your healthcare provider about any history of manic symptoms (like those described above). If a doctor prescribes an antidepressant for a person with such a history, the antidepressant could trigger a manic episode.

Because medications and other illnesses can cause symptoms of mania and depression, it’s important that a psychiatrist and primary care physician work together. For example, a manic episode can be triggered by steroids and by antidepressant medication.

Expected Duration

If left untreated, a first episode of mania lasts an average of two to four months and a depressive episode up to eight months or longer, but there can be many variations. If the person does not get treatment, episodes tend to become more frequent and last longer as time passes.

Prevention

There is no way to prevent bipolar disorder, but treatment can prevent episodes from returning. Also, if you are able to talk to your healthcare provider as early as you can about milder forms of the disorder, you may be able to prevent more severe forms. Unfortunately, worries about stigma often stop people from mentioning their concerns to their primary care doctor.

Treatment

A combination of medication and talk therapy is most helpful. Often more than one medication is needed to keep the symptoms in check.

Mood Stabilizers

The class of medications known as mood stabilizers is the primary treatment for bipolar disorder.

The best known and oldest mood stabilizer is lithium carbonate, which can ease manic episodes and prevent them from returning. Lithium may reduce the risk of suicide. If you take lithium, you have to have periodic blood tests to make sure you are taking enough, but not too much. Side effects include nausea, diarrhea, frequent urination, tremor (shaking) and diminished mental sharpness. Lithium can cause some minor changes in tests that show how well your thyroid, kidney and heart are functioning. These changes are usually not serious, but your doctor will want to know what your blood tests look like before you start taking lithium. You will have to get an electrocardiogram (EKG), thyroid and kidney function tests, and a blood test to count your white blood cells.

For many years, anticonvulsant medications, which are used to treat seizures, have also been used to treat bipolar disorder. The most common in use are valproic acid (Depakote), lamotrigine (Lamictal) and carbamazepine (Tegretol).

Valproic acid may have side effects that are more manageable than those of lithium. Nausea, loss of appetite, diarrhea, sedation and tremor (shaking) are common at the beginning of treatment, but these side effects tend to fade over time. The medication also can cause weight gain. Uncommon but serious side effects are damage to the liver and problems with blood platelets, which help blood to clot.

Lamotrigine (Lamictal) has been used more frequently in recent years, because some studies show it to be more effective than lithium in preventing the depressive episodes of bipolar disorder. (Lithium, however, is more effective than lamotrigine in preventing mania.) The most troubling side effect of lamotrigine is a severe rash — in rare cases, the rash can become dangerous. To minimize the risk, your provider is likely to start with a low dose and increase dosages very slowly. Other common side effects include nausea and headache.

Carbamazepine (Tegretol) is another anticonvulsant used to treat bipolar disorder. Its most common side effects are drowsiness, dizziness, blurred vision, nausea and vomiting. These can often be avoided by increasing the dose gradually. There are some serious but rare side effects, including liver inflammation, suppression of red and white blood cell counts, and severe skin rashes.

Lithium, valproate acid and carbamazepine should not be used during the first three months of pregnancy, because they are known to cause birth defects.

Antipsychotic Medications

In recent years, studies have shown that some of the newer antipsychotic medications can be effective in controlling bipolar disorder symptoms. Side effects are often have to be balanced against the helpful effects of these drugs:

• Olanzapine: sleepiness, dry mouth, dizziness and weight gain.
• Risperidone: sleepiness, restlessness and nausea.
• Quetiapine: dry mouth, sleepiness, weight gain and dizziness.
• Ziprasidone: sleepiness, dizziness, restlessness, nausea and tremor.
• Aripiprazole: nausea, stomach upset, sleepiness (or sleeplessness), or restlessness.

These new antipsychotic drugs can increase the risk of diabetes and cause problems with blood lipids. Olanzapine is associated with the greatest risk. With risperidone and quetiapine, the risk is moderate. Ziprasidone and aripiprazole cause minimal weight change and not as much risk of diabetes.

Antianxiety Medications

Antianxiety medications such as lorazepam (Ativan) and clonazepam (Klonopin) sometimes are used to calm the anxiety and agitation associated with a manic episode.

Antidepressants

Antidepressants often are used to treat the depressive phase of the disorder, but they can trigger a manic episode or induce a pattern of rapid cycling. Therefore, many psychiatrists try to avoid using an antidepressant until other approaches have been tried. It is also generally not recommended to use an antidepressant alone — usually a mood stabilizer or antipsychotic medication is given with an antidepressant.

There are so many different forms bipolar disorder that using an antidepressant alone may be justified in some cases.

Psychotherapy

Talk therapy (psychotherapy) is important, as it provides education and support and helps a person come to terms with the illness. Recent research has demonstrated that it helps patients when family members learn about the illness and improve their communication and problem-solving skills. With this kind of help, patients adjust more easily, are more likely to take medication as prescribed and have a better quality of life. They have fewer episodes of illness, fewer days with symptoms and fewer admissions to the hospital.

Psychotherapy is also helpful if the person has to deal with painful consequences, practical difficulties or embarrassment stemming from manic behavior. The person may have suffered some losses either in relationships or at work. A number of psychotherapy techniques may be helpful depending on the origins of the person’s problems. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps a person recognize patterns of thinking that keep you from managing your illness well. Psychodynamic, insight-oriented or interpersonal psychotherapy can help to sort out conflicts in important relationships or explore the history behind the symptoms.

When To Call A Professional

A manic episode is a serious problem requiring immediate treatment. However, a person in a manic episode may not be aware that he or she is sick. Some people with this illness may have to be brought to a hospital, even when they don’t want to go. Many patients are grateful later when they learn that they avoided a loss or embarrassment and were pushed to get the treatment they needed.

If you observe manic symptoms in a person who is unaware of his or her condition, arrange a consultation with a health care provider. Treatment can prevent symptoms from accelerating and can improve a person’s progress and functioning over time.

A person with known bipolar disorder who exhibits symptoms of worsening depression should promptly contact his or her mental health provider.

Prognosis

The natural course of the illness varies, but without treatment, the manic and depressive episodes tend to occur more frequently as people get older, causing increasing problems in relationships or at work. Treatment is becoming more and more effective, however, and many of these problems can be diminished and in some cases eliminated.

Today I will do my best. Although my best may not be good enough for some people, it is always good enough for God.My worth as a person does not depend on the approval of others. God says in his Word that I am precious to Him. God’s love for me does not depend on my performance. He loves me because He is love, and because I am his adopted child.God’s love is the love that lasts for all eternity. Ten trillion years from now I will still be Home with God, and He will still love me with His deep, abiding love. The love and approval of my friends and family may come and go, but God’s love for me never changes.Today I will give my very best effort at my job. I will do my best to obey God’s Commandments and to imitate his Son, Jesus Christ.

That’s all I can do. But that’s good enough for God.

God thinks I am beautiful

When I feel disappointed
at what I see in my mirror,
I catch myself before I have
a chance to shed a tear.
No, I’m not a supermodel
in a fashion magazine,
but I possess a loveliness
that can’t always be seen.
I am made in Jesus’ image,
growing like him every day,
and what you see’s just part of me,
a simple jar of clay.
For inside me is His wondrous love
that makes my spirit glow.
God thinks that I’m beautiful,
and that’s all I need to know

Red reminders

I have a secret system
where I use the things I see
to remind me just how much
my Savior proved his love for me.
Stop lights, stop signs, tail lights,
and anything that’s red,
serves as a reminder
of the blood that Jesus shed.
Every time that I see crimson then,
I say this silent prayer,
“Thank you for your love, dear Lord,
and heaven that we’ll share.”

“Someone emailed us this story today which we thought would help you appreciate those things in life that we do have. You might need a tissue for this one.I walked into the grocery store not particularly interested in buying groceries. I wasn’t hungry. The pain of losing my husband of 57 years was still too raw. And this grocery store held so many sweet memories.

He often came with me and almost every time he’d pretend to go off and look for something special. I knew what he was up to. I’d always spot him walking down the aisle with the three yellow roses in his hands.

He knew I loved yellow roses. With a heart filled with grief, I only wanted to buy my few items and leave, but even grocery shopping was different since he had passed on.

Shopping for one took time, a little more thought than it had for two.

Standing by the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak and remembered how he had loved his steak.

Suddenly a woman came beside me. She was blonde, slim and lovely in a soft green pantsuit. I watched as she picked up a large package of T-bones, dropped them in her basket.. hesitated, and then put them back. She turned to go and once again reached for the pack of steaks

She saw me watching her and she smiled. ‘My husband loves T-bones, but honestly, at these prices, I don’t know.’

I swallowed the emotion down my throat and met her pale blue eyes.

‘My husband passed away eight days ago,’ I told her. Glancing at the package in her hands, I fought to control the tremble in my voice. ‘Buy him the steaks. And cherish every moment you have together.’

She shook her head and I saw the emoti on in her eyes as she placed the package in her basket and wheeled away.

I turned and pushed my cart across the length of the store to the dairy products. There I stood, trying to decide which size milk I should buy. A Quart, I finally decided and moved on to the ice cream. If nothing else, I could always fix myself an ice cream cone.

I placed the ice cream in my cart and looked down the aisle toward the front. I saw first the green suit, then recognized the pretty lady coming towards me. In her arms she carried a package. On her face was the brightest smile! I had ever seen. I would swear a soft halo encircled her blonde hair as she kept walking toward me, her eyes holding mine.

As she came closer, I saw what she held and tears began misting in my eyes. ‘These are for you,’ she said and placed three beautiful long stemmed yellow roses in my arms. ‘When you go through the line, they will know these are paid for.’ She leaned over and placed a gentle kiss on m y cheek, then smiled again. I wanted to tell her what she’d done, what the roses meant, but still unable to speak, I watched as she walked away as tears clouded my vision.

I looked down at the beautiful roses nestled in the green tissue wrapping and found it almost unreal. How did she know? Suddenly the answer seem ed so clear. I wasn’t alone.

Oh, you haven’t forgotten me, have you? I whispered, with tears in my eyes. He was still with me, and she was his angel.

Every day be thankful for what you have and who you are.
(Please read all of this, it is really nice)

This is a simple request. If you appreciate life, send this to your friends, including the person that sent it to you

Even though I clutch my blanket and growl when the alarm rings. Thank you, Lord, that I can hear. There are many who are deaf.

Even though I keep my eyes closed against the morning light as long as possible. Thank you, Lord , that I can see. Many are blind.

Even though I huddle in my bed and put off rising. Thank you, Lord, that I have the strength to rise. There are many who are bedridden.

Even though the first hour of my day is hectic, when socks are lost, toast is burned, tempers are short, and my children are so loud.

Thank you, Lord, for my family. There are many who are lonely.

Even though our breakfast table never looks like the picture in magazines and the menu is at times unbalanced.

Thank you, Lord, for the food we have. There are many who are hungry.

Even though the routine of my job often is monotonous. Thank you, Lord, for the opportunity to work. There are many who have no job.

Even though I grumble and bemoan my fate from day to day and wish my circumstances were not so modest.

Thank you, Lord, for life.

Pass this on to the friends you know It might help a bit to make this world a better place to live, right? A friend is someone we turn to when our spirits need a lift. A friend is someone to treasure.

For friendship is a gift. A friend is someone who fills our lives with Beauty, Joy and Grace and makes the world we live in a better and happier place.

YOU ARE MY FRIEND!

God bless you and yours. “

DALLAS — A man on his way home from cancer treatment was killed when debris fromTexas activist Anthony Bond, was riding in the northbound lane of the Dallas North Tollway when he was struck by a chunk of concrete caused by a pickup truck that flipped upside down in the southbound lane during rush hour.

The debris made a small hole in the windshield’s passenger side of the PT C

DALLAS — Dallas police are investigating a fatal accident on the Dallas North Tollway and Walnut Hill that killed a cancer patient.Witnesses said a pickup truck heading northbound smashed into a concrete divider and a chunk of the concrete went airborne, smashing through the windshield of a southbound car, killing the driver of that car.Authorities identified the victim as William Matthew Bond.

Bond’s brother, Anthony, had spent the day with his brother, who was a cancer patient who had undergone a grueling day of treatment.”God called my brother home today, is all I can figure out,” said Anthony bond. “We didn’t do anything wrong — we were just driving down the freeway.”Bond was hit in the face and killed instantly.”My brother was already suffering from bone marrow cancer,” Anthony Bond said. “We’d been in the hospital all day. I’d been in the hospital with him all day. I don’t know why this happened.”Investigators said aggressive driving by the man behind the wheel of a Chevrolet Avalanche was the cause. Police said he had been frequently changing lanes in heavy traffic headed south, in the opposite lane of the Bond’s.”It jerked back to the left lane at that time, lost control and struck the center concrete barrier,” said Robert Bernard Jr., of Dallas Public Safety.”There is nothing that the northbound vehicle could have done to prevent this crash,” Bernard added.The concrete prevented a crossover collision, but a piece of the barrier broke off.”I saw my windshield break, but I just thought it broke my windshield,” Bond said. “I looked over, and my brother’s brain was in my hands.”Investigators said they hoped cameras along the tollway would provide more evidence of how the incident happened.Police have not released the name of the driver of the Chevrolet Avalanche. He was not seriously hurt, authorities said, and could face charges related to aggressive driving as the investigation continued.One witness, Marrissa Freeman, said the pickup truck driver was trying to avoid an earlier accident when he swerved and flipped and landed upside down, spilling weights from his truck onto the freeway.”The weights didn’t hit another car, but as he hit there was a concrete chunk that fell out and hit another person on the side of the freeway and killed him,” Freeman said.Stay with NBC 5 News and NBC5i.com for the latest on this developing story.
