With the radar reports tracked down by a civilian investigator and it being a relatively recent event, do you guys think the Stephensville case deserves to be bumped up in the rankings?
The short answer is yes. MUFON provided an exhaustively detailed and researched report on locally collected radar data. There were a number of close witness sightings on the ground. One very interesting case where a police officer had a close CE-I and was able to track a saucer on radar for a short period of time. Officer's name is still not in the public domain.
There were a lot of night time photographs. There weren't any visual or instrument indications from any commercial aircraft, although many witnesses claimed military aircraft pursuing "unknowns". Perhaps some day we may see some whistleblowers or pilots related to Stephenville.
Flaps, as opposed to individual cases can sometimes take decades to completely come-out-in-the-wash because there's generally many more people involved and, it can take years for witnesses to get past their reticence and apprehension. Eventually, I think Stephenville will take its rightful place in the case history.
