Richard Cobb - executed for murder and rape in Texas

On September 2, 2002, 18-year-old Richard Cobb abducted two women and a man from a store in Rusk, Texas during an armed robbery. Cobb took the three to an East Texas field about 10 miles away where he raped one of the women and then shot all three with a 20-gauge shotgun and left them to die. Cobb, a drug addict who was already on probation for auto theft, did not realize that one of the women was still alive and would thereafter survive to testify against him. He was convicted of capital murder and spoke these haunting words mere seconds before he was executed.

High-speed UFO captured by weather-cam plummets towards Earth then makes sudden 90-degree turn and zips skyward

Video frame showing the path the UFO takes

This UFO was captured by a NBC affiliate weather-cam located on top of a building in downtown Fort Worth, Texas back in July 2011. At first glance the UFO appears to be a comet or meteor plummeting to Earth but then just as the object nears the ground it suddenly makes a near 90-degree turn and shoots back up into the sky and out of sight. The only explanation presented thus far is a perspective anomaly – something like a a bug flying nearer the lens that it truly appears. Frame freezes of the video make this explanation a bit unlikely though. The object also comes too near the Earth’s surface to be a meteor or other object glancing off the Earth’s atmosphere.

Newest UFO hotspot – more documented UFO sightings in Cotulla, Texas

Just over two weeks ago we obtained the amazing footage of the landed UFO at an oil field in Cotulla, Texas and now we are hearing there have been many more sightings in the area during the past couple of weeks – and residents are seriously spooked. Several UFOs have been caught on camera (see video below) and the local news station has begun airing reports regarding the phenomena. MUFON (Mutual UFO Network) has sent investigators to the area to see what’s up but thus far they are not convinced anything out of the ordinary is happening in the small community. Residents however, are up in arms with many witnesses beginning to come forth with accounts of strange lights and triangular objects flying through their skies. Even some Ufologists are saying MUFON has too ruled too quickly on some of their official findings and suggest that MUFON conduct a more thorough investigation of this new wave of sightings.

A security camera at an oil company in the small town of Cotulla, Texas is said to have captured the image of a “disk-like” UFO, floating a few inches off of the ground. The incident allegedly occurred on July 6, 2012. The witness explained, “My father works in an oil company here in Texas, and they had noticed that some people were taking the crude oil in the night. So they started putting cameras up around the areas. One night one camera caught a UFO. The news had spread through the workers and they soon emailed it to my father. My father had sent it to me and now I’m posting it here.”
