Yawn to all of it. Blimp over Stephensville (there is a very similar clip that I can't find anymore. Original footage zooms in and you can see it is the Sanyo blimp. Looked just like the "additional" Stephensville UFO footage.)
I thought of that too. But isn't it too wide? I don't think the Sanyo blimp has that many lights either. Can anyone provide that footage?.)
I wish I would have favorited the video to show everyone here. It was nearly identical, slow hover, flashing lights. Point is a lot of things can look UFO (which they are until you can identify them)
I know I want to believe all of it but you get down to the bread and butter and there really isn't much compelling evidence. Though I myself believe I have witnessed a triangle UFO leave the atmosphere but who's to say it wasn't a few satellites? I don't think they would be so close together though and be in a formation. Anyways next piece of evidence please...
Satellites? That sounds like something the government would say. Think about how the craft looked and moved. Satellites don't come down into the atmosphere for a look around and leave again. They move in a fixed path.

Some could be flares, maybe blimps ...
Flashing strobes are usually a sign of FAA compliant anti-collision lights...
I wish some thread starters would stop being so sensationalist in their titles...
"Best UFO Mothership footage EVER!" ...right...
These type of thread titles do the entire subject a disservice...

Do we really think a story that gathered national attention was going to drift for a full month without anyone taking responsiblity for the masterful hoax?
Not a blimp. Not a hoax.
Some good vids posted by the OP. Except for the Phoenix lights. That incident needs to be dropped permanently.

I myself saw a satellite-like object shoot out of the atmosphere with a pop. I did not try to cling to my previous belief that it was a satellite... I formally recognized it as a UFO.
If you saw a UFO, say you saw a UFO. Don't try to convince yourself otherwise just to fit the status quo.
Likewise, when we see a UFO on video, let us call it a UFO. If an explanation arises that fits, let's use it. But why make up explanations like 'it's a blimp' or 'that's a strange formation of satellites leaving the atmosphere.'
Seems to me like there is alot of genuine UFO footage that people aren't comfortable calling a UFO. They would rather fabricate explanations to avoid the idea of a UFO...

Also, let's hear what the fighter jets and air traffic control had to say DURING their UFO chase:

Hi,
I've watched the 2008 clips a few times and all i see is a Blimp. You can see flashing lights on the top and bottom, which is what i would expect to see. I don't think this is a mother ship or a UFO.
Good find anyway

There are better cases out there. Like Mexicos UFO fleets. Witnessed by thosuands of people on a regular basis. Such events in America would put people into hysterics.

Firstly, I'm not saying that this is what you saw.
Secondly, I'm no expert - maybe someone else can provide further info.
I have read however that a number of sightings of 3 points of light moving across the sky in unison can be put down to a set of 3 American military tracking satellites in orbit. Apparently as they move in unison they can give the impression of being joined on a large triangular craft.
Maybe they appeared and then dissapeared due to their height and moving into the shadow of the earth and no longer lit by the sun. I have no idea of their specific orbit, altitude, how far apart they are or anything, just that I have read that they have been positively identified as of American origin and used for tracking purposes.
As an aside, and hopefully somebody can explain this, it has always amazed me how bright satellites appear, almost as if they are a massively self illuminated object. What do we make them out of, some super reflective material ?
Is that to stop them absorbing heat ?
If you painted them black would they then be invisible to the naked eye but heat up too much ?
