UFO Caught on Police Video

Police Dashcam UFO Video

Witnesses across Texas and Oklahoma reported seeing a large fireball shoot across the sky on the night of February 2, 2012. The object was even caught on the dashboard camera of the police chief in Little River-Academy. Police Chief Troy Hess said, “It kept getting bigger, and the color kept changing.”

According to the American Statesman newspaper, the FAA was not alarmed, as astronomers have said the object was most likely a meteor or space junk. Anita Cochran, assistant director of the McDonald Observatory at the University of Texas, says meteors are typically seen over large distances because of their height in the atmosphere.

One witness, Julie Ashworth, reported to the Huntsville Item:

It was rather slow to me. It wasn’t going fast like a shooting star. It was really big. It started green then changed to red and sparks were flying off the back of it. I thought it must be an airplane or something. I didn’t hear a boom or see anything. I didn’t know what it was until I watched the news that night. It was pretty neat.

Some argue that the police video confirms that the object was going too slow to be a meteor. Witness, James Gilhousen, expressed his doubt to the Huntsville Item. “Initially thought it was a plane going down as it looked to be on fire, with sparks coming off of it, but it was moving too fast to be a plane,” Gilhousen wrote on the Item’s Facebook page. “Not like any shooting star I’ve ever seen.”
