Chapter 1: Introduction to the Stillwater Incident

The viral video featuring a supposed UFO incident has been officially dismissed as merely bugs on the screen. But is that explanation satisfactory? Although I had previously referenced this UFO sighting, I hadn't conducted an in-depth investigation. As the State Director of MUFON-Texas, I decided to assign this case to field investigators for both practice and entertainment. I envisioned a straightforward write-up to hone our skills in summarizing conclusions, complemented by a PowerPoint presentation to offer a quick lesson on field investigation techniques. However, I quickly found myself delving deeper into the complexities of the case.

Chapter 2: The Footage Breakdown

Two UFOs were reportedly captured on live television during a weather broadcast. The original clip lasts just 25 seconds, but it certainly left an impact! Within that brief timeframe, the names Travis and Darren come up. We learn that Darren is located two to three miles south of Stillwater, Oklahoma, as a storm approaches from the northeast, bringing hail of approximately 3/4 of an inch.

I took to the internet to investigate further. The search for Stillwater on a map was straightforward.

Pinpointing the intersection of Perkins and Ripley seemed significant—an odd location for UFOs but perhaps a hotspot for unusual sightings. Finding Travis Meyer, the meteorologist, was also relatively easy.

When I combined the names of Travis and Darren the Storm Chaser, I stumbled upon Darren Stevens. Although I was initially uncertain, a search involving both names and the term UFO revealed an article that discussed this very sighting, mentioning both individuals.

Chapter 3: The Quest for Details

Despite my hopes of gathering precise details about the storm from the article, I was disappointed. The date, April 27th, 2017, referred to when the article was published, not the actual incident. You would think that a piece discussing a weather event would include the exact date and time of the sighting, especially when the explanation offered was simply 'bugs.' Really? Since when do bugs emit flames?

The article stated that the sighting occurred while Darren was live on air with Travis Meyer, around 5 p.m. on a Tuesday, as they discussed the storm visible on Darren’s video feed. It was during this broadcast that two small black blobs appeared on the screen.

As I searched for the precise date, it became clear that the sighting likely took place on Tuesday, April 25th, 2017. However, it didn’t align perfectly with the available data.

The footage indicates it was around 5 p.m., and while the article confirms this, the lack of exact timing raises questions. The wind direction was noted as coming from the northeast, but Weather Underground reported no northeast winds until after 9 p.m. It seems perplexing that meteorologists, who are scientists, would present an article to debunk a UFO sighting without more substantial data to back their claims. Did Darren identify the 'bugs'? How close was the camera to the windshield? My mind is swirling with questions!

Perhaps my approach was too casual, or maybe I misinterpreted the data. It’s also possible that weather statistics aren’t entirely accurate. That’s a troubling thought, especially as the world pushes for stricter carbon regulations.

The first video, titled "UFO HOVERS OVER OKLAHOMA HOME 'I Hope I Don't Get Taken!'", provides a glimpse into the ongoing fascination with UFOs in Oklahoma.

Chapter 4: Analyzing the Objects

Now, let’s shift our focus back to the UFOs. The video claims to capture 'Two UFOs,' but I count three.

To dispel any skepticism, let’s zoom in on the footage.

The article asserts that these are merely bugs. Yet, the flames and the movement are reminiscent of thrusters! Speculation on social media varied from aliens to weather balloons, but ultimately, they were dismissed as bugs on Darren's windshield.

Seriously? The camera just happened to zoom in on a bug emitting flames? Interestingly, around 44 seconds into the video, one of these objects either vanishes into a cloud or moves away in a manner akin to how retired Navy pilot David Fravor described the TICTAC UFO’s disappearance—just a blink, and it’s gone.

The cameraman zoomed in, and as one object disappeared, the camera shifted to capture another as it flared up.

It’s hard to dismiss this as just bugs. The brightness of the flaring creates a lens flare effect!

I’ve watched this footage repeatedly. I’ve reached out to Travis for his insights and would love to talk to storm chaser Darren Stevens as well.

Could this investigation get any more intriguing? I’m convinced this video showcases unidentified flying objects. While I’m not necessarily claiming they are alien spacecraft, the question remains—do aliens utilize thrusters to navigate against the wind? Are these objects defying the wind's direction? It may depend on their position relative to Perkins and the camera's angle. I assume the camera is pointed north toward Stillwater, but I’m not entirely certain. Access to the weather map for that day might clarify the storm’s path.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on this matter. How would you approach researching this incident? Based solely on the video, would you conclude it’s bugs?

Should my colleagues uncover additional information, I’ll update this piece accordingly. If they can identify the 'bugs' on the windshield, even better. Perhaps someone can clarify whether a bug would be visible if the camera was focused elsewhere.

The second video, "A UFO sighting and the creatures seen by one man in the summer of 1945: 'They walk like us'", adds further context to the ongoing discourse surrounding UFOs.

Addendum: The Ongoing Mystery

While the investigation continues, I remain intrigued by the footage and the implications it carries. Keep your eyes peeled for updates as more information becomes available.
