Are UFOs Frequenting a South Texas Drilling Site? Workers Claim These Pictures Say Yes

Jan. 15, 2013 9:33am Liz Klimas

There’s a buzz among the workers at a drilling site in southern Texas that they might not alone. Eyewitness reports and footage taken by both workers and security cameras seem to capture what can at this point only be described as unidentified lights in the sky.

The San Antonio Express-News reported the workers at the Eagle Ford Shale for several nights in a row in October saw the lights and that a security camera’s footage from a few months earlier, albeit blurry and black and white, shows a disc-shaped object near another well site.

Workers at Eagle Ford Shale in Texas Report Seeing Unidentified Lights in the Sky

Here’s the accounts of a few witnesses:

“We all know what the lights from a plane or a helicopter look like,” said Rene Cantu, the oilfield worker who first sighted the orange lights. “This wasn’t a plane or a helicopter.”

“We sit on our back porch and watch planes go by every night,” said Jerry Farrell, a nearby rancher who saw the same lights as Cantu and his co-workers. “This was 12, 13, 14 lights, that were all spread out, flying all over the sky. And when they moved, it was at unbelievable speed, from horizon to horizon and back.”

Cantu was on a work break when he saw the lights. He yelled out to co-workers, who joined him watching the lights, which put on a 3-minute show, bouncing around the heavens like a celestial pinball machine.

The lights vanished for 25 minutes, then returned for another 3-minute show.

The stunned roughnecks wondered if they had been hallucinating. Then delivery trucks, which had been waiting down the road for their turn to approach the site, pulled up.

“The truck drivers were all, ‘Did you guys see those lights up there?’” Cantu said. “So it wasn’t just us.”

The News-Express reported the sheriff’s office saying it didn’t receive any calls regarding the lights on these nights.

As for the image picked up by security cameras in July, the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), a volunteer group of UFO investigators, has looked into the claims and said that it has passed two of its authenticity tests, according to the News-Express.

“If it’s a prank,” MUFON investigator Charles Stansburge told the News-Express, “someone spent a lot of money to stage it. It’s not a doctored photo. It’s a 60-foot-diameter saucer that’s hovering.”

Adding to the story, MUFON was told by witnesses that the company owning the Eagle Ford Shale drilling site installed the security cameras in the first place because they noticed oil being siphoned from tanks.

The News-Express reported that MUFON’s investigation is still in its early stages. Stransburge said he doesn’t expect to find much since any physical evidence on the site could be long gone by now given the time that has elapsed since the image was taken.

Honestly, if you’re drill site is being frequented by unusual craft, and oil is going missing, you need to test your oil for exotic compounds or rare earth elements. I’d guess that they are not after crude oil, but something in solution in the oil that classifies as exotic matter for use in a dense fusion reactor. I highly doubt they use friction bearings on such a craft, as there are many field effects that could be used on nano engineered materials to make frictionless load surfaces, basically room temperature super conduction if you can manufacture in true micro-gravity or true zero gravity, they likely have gravity control, however if we want to build it we’d need an imperfection free crystalline metal alloy which can only happen in the full absence of gravity. So that means you need to build it on a robotic space station well outside the gravity well of the Earth, that would get you mostly there, to do really interesting stuff you’d have to get away from the well of the Sun. What I mean by that is nano manufacturing optical circuits into molten alloys using molecular bonding differencing, can’t do that in gravity easily either. Sadly we can’t do it on the ISS because the gyros suck, and they regularly have to adjust flight/orbit due to atmospheric drag, physicists have already figured out how to make these things, but health care, war, and globalism are too much of a priority.

I think the idea is to follow the lights while Obama leads us into complete darkness. If you are going to look up, then look passed these lights and look to the Heavens for God. This is probably another great deception, kinda like Hillary falling and getting a concussion, but of greater scale…..know what I mean? Too much to comprehend is the key to deception by this government, or may I say the shadow government that many don’t yet recognize.

I know I have typos in my posts, but my job is not to be a reporter and I don’t have an Editor. Re-read the first sentence or two and then tell me if this person has any credibility.

I would have to say if it is inhabited , it is inhabited by very short ‘people”.

Ok, these “lights” move faster than the laws of physics would allow. They disappear than reappear instantly. Sounds to me like they are not of the material world. You can see by the posts that the idea that they are not of the material universe never occurs to people. In the past they would have been labeled angels or demons. This demonstrates how locked in to the materialistic world view we are.

Aliens realized after the presidential election, the only voice of reason on planet Earth (America) had now been infected with an illness (liberalism) that will destroy it.. They are coming to take over. And not a moment too soon.

How advanced can they be?

I mean, they were apparently pulling in for a “fill-up’ of gasoline, and when an attendant didn’t come out to wipe the windshields and top off the fluid levels, they left!

Just wait: someone’s going to get a nasty letter about the poor gasoline attendant’s customer service…

People who say we are alone in this universe are just like the people who said the earth is flat.

I believe these men. They work hard, they have to be sober and awake or risk getting hurt. These lights have been seen over S.TX ranches for years. One lady was even interviewed on “Monsterquest” when her outdoor camera picked up similar lights that came down near her deer feeder. So for the enviromental wackos thinking the “gases” were causing hallucinations, sorry, but no dice. Texas has a big sky and plenty of room for a dancing light show. Stephenville residents in North Texas have seen much more than this. Marfa has the “Ghostlights” and is famous for them. No explantions, just myths. Our government is capable of anything, but they only imitate what’s been seen through reverse engineering. They have no real control over the sky or space. They have no control over the thinking man or woman. And that *isses them off.
I’ll take the oil riggers story over anything a government official “officially” debunks.

  I vote for CIA drug runners. They would be more likely to use lights.

1947 Rosewell New Mexico, Remember it was a weather ballon. If it was a weather ballon why did they create the National Security Act of 1947 ?

Look up MJ-12, James Forrestal was the first Secretary of the NAVY and a member of MJ -12. Retired Admiral… This an American Hero that was thrown from the 16th floor of the Bethesda Naval Hospital window unto the curb to his Death. Supposedly he wanted to DISCLOSE the TRUTH and was KILLED.
Look up; President Eisenhower’s Feb 1954 meeting with ET’s at Holloman Air Force Base.
Did wanting to DISCLOSE the TRUTH get JFK KILLED ? After all he summoned all records… pertaining to UFO’s… How bout Bigelow Aerospace and Skinwalker Ranch?
Lastly , Colonel John B. Alexander that’ll keep ya busy!

  Skinwalker Ranch is downright chilling.
  Not many remember the Battle for L.A way back in 1942 before Roswell.
