Initial data
Around this time, local residents were woken up by a series of extremely loud explosions, shortly after a traveler on I-20 photographed a strange disk-like disk. the transported object is near the area. Concerned citizens turned to the local police and the media. There was no official reaction to reports of extremely loud explosions.
Due to the media blackout, Arlington residents were forced to draw their own conclusions. Additional information says that numerous subscribers began calling local stations with reports of a strange sight on Interstate 20, which runs between Dallas and Fort.
They described a surreal scene - a large truck with a platform was carrying something similar to a UFO on its trailer . It seems that the 18-wheeler was accompanied by something that was military equipment, and on the sides - cars and personnel Dallas Police Department . In the immediate vicinity of the entourage, the exits to the motorway were closed.
Some of the callers who got close enough to see the parade of vehicles said that a large UFO was emitting steam or smoke.
One driver, who was taken to the side of the highway, managed to take two pictures on his mobile phone. The photos (not published) are fuzzy and taken from a long distance.
Additional information by researcher Manuel Navarrete:
This report is the result of an interview with an employee of the Dallas Police Department. I was approached by an officer who read an article about the incident in Dallas, Texas, which I posted on the website www.ufoclearinghouse.webs.com. He contacted me and we contacted by email (of his choice), and after he provided me with information confirming that he is an employee of the Dallas Police Department, he offered to provide me with information regarding the incident that occurred on the evening of August 7 and the early morning of August 8, 2009.
The only condition he had was that he did not want to reveal his name or any other information that would allow him to be identified by anyone from his superiors or any agency that was involved in the operation that night.
I initially agreed, and then asked for advice from another of my fellow researchers to find out how I feel about this. Then I contacted him, agreed to his terms and set a time to discuss the events of that evening.
The officer, who worked for 8 years in the Dallas police department, was assigned to a regular street patrol in a certain area of the city (again, information is not disclosed at his request). They called him on his mobile phone and asked him to come to the district police station, there were no explanations, no words, except " we need you to come to the police station immediately." He was told that someone would meet him at the entrance. The call was unexpected, but ended with the caller simply hanging up.
The officer then proceeded to the station in accordance with the instructions. When he arrived at the station, he noticed that other patrol cars were pulling up, and that the other dozen or so officers looked as confused as he was. The officer was met by a couple of people in black uniforms who greeted the officers, after which they asked the officers to leave all means of communication in their patrol cars. Neither radios nor mobile phones could be taken inside with them.
After a brief pause of confused muttering, the officers obeyed, and then they were ushered into the station; they were led to one of the briefing areas of the station. They were met by a couple of bosses and several other men in black uniforms.
The men were informed that their help was needed for an improvised escort of a truck carrying "cargo". No other information was provided, no questions were asked by the officers. They were told that this was a military operation, and that they needed to act to secure the "cargo" and clarify the situation before sunrise. They were usually told that military personnel would deal with the situation, but since time was of the essence, they were going to use Dallas Police Department officers to ensure the route the bed would take. The senior officer informed them that it would not be "beautiful" and that "they do not have time to wrap the gift, beautifully and neatly."
The officer at that moment told me that, in his opinion, this was not the first time that this particular military officer had done this. When asked, the officer noted that the servicemen who were in the room, including the officer, were dressed only in a solid black uniform, black combat boots and did not have name plates, insignia or unit designation on their uniforms.
It was here that the officer instructed the other officers that everything that would happen during this "exercise" would be kept in the strictest secrecy, no one was allowed to talk about it, neither with each other, nor with their families, nor fellow officers. The reports completed by them will be passed directly to their chief, who will be instructed on how to handle these reports and transfer them to the military for storage. The officer then stated that they should all sign a paper stating that they could be held accountable for telling anyone about this operation without the special permission of the United States Government.
It was here that we took a break for a few minutes, as the officer asked if we could take a break for a few minutes, he had to use the bathroom and get bottled water. I agreed and did the same.
When we came back, we kind of re-limited the events to a point, trying to include as much as possible in the report. The officer again repeated that he would not disclose any information that could lead to his identification. I agreed to his terms again and started the interview.
The officer stated that he was given instructions, he and four other officers were to block the entrances to the exits on Interstate 20 ,not allowing anyone to pass on the interstate until the convoy was safely moving along the road. He was instructed, if the drivers were already on the interstate, to stop them and hold them there until the convoy passed, using his car and himself, if possible, to protect the driver and any passengers from seeing the passing platform, and continued driving. on the way.
They were instructed that the driver of the platform was instructed to continue driving at the maximum possible speed without compromising the integrity of the cargo. Therefore, the officers had to prevent the movement of civilian cars.
The officer did not give specific details about where exactly they met with the truck or where the truck went on its way. The officer threatened to stop the interrogation if I insisted that he give specific details. The only tidbit of information the officer gave me was a casual comment that he could look out the window and see a mixture of moonlight and other lights reflecting off Joe Pool Lake.
The officer stated that they met a large semi-trailer pulling a truck with a flat platform, on the back of which there was something similar to a round object. The object was securely tied to a flat bed, but was discovered. The object was a dull gray color, like gun metal, as far as he could see when the truck was speeding in the light of street lamps. The officer noted that when the truck first passed, it seemed that a strange smell came from it. The officer did not say whether it was caused by a smoldering object in the back of the truck. He said that he smelled of smoldering sulfur.
The officer then described how they blocked roads, while some blocked exits or stopped motorists, others rushed forward to clear traffic and block other exits and access points to the interstate highway, as soon as the convoy passed and left far enough along the road, he would then open the road back and rush to catch up and rejoin the rest in the rotation. He described how some government vehicles helped them by blocking the exits, he said that there were four people in each car, each of the passengers was dressed in full combat uniform with bulletproof vests and weapons.
When the convoy was moving through the interstate, the procedure was the same: stop anyone who was already on the road, and block traffic on the interstate. The officer stated that they drove about 10-12 miles before they were radioed instructions to return to the station.
When asked about the destination of the object, he replied that he did not know, others took on the job of escorting the truck, and they were told to return to the station after a rush.
Then the officer said that other men met him there, these people were not in military uniforms, but in suits. They were informed and told that they had taken part in a government response exercise. This was conducted in major cities across the United States to assess the response time of military and local law enforcement agencies to an incident such as the crash of a highly classified government aircraft or satellite. They were told, as before, not to talk about it; they would have to keep it to themselves for the sake of military security.
They were then instructed on the procedure for submitting any reports that they had to write to the head of the police department.
At that moment, the officer's family returned home, and the officer informed me that he did not want to talk to them present. He advised us to arrange to talk again and finish the interview later, when he would not tell his family about it. I agreed and advised him to answer in order to set a time.
I answered him twice and got no answer. When I tried to answer him for the third time, the letter came to me as a failed one. So I decided to publish as much as possible with the information provided to me.

The only condition that he had was that he did not want to reveal his name, or any other information that would allow him to be identified by anyone of his superiors or by any of the agencies that were involved in the operation that night. I tentatively agreed, and then sought the advice of another one of my fellow researchers to see where I stood in regards to this. I then contacted him and agreed to his terms and set up a time for us to discuss the events of that evening.
The officer, who was an 8 year veteran of the Dallas Police Department, was assigned to normal street patrol in a particular section of the city (again information has been withheld per his request). He was called via his mobile phone and requested to report back to the district police station, no explanation was given, no words other than “We need you to report back to the station immediately” He was told that someone would meet him at the entrance and to do as he was instructed. As sudden as the call came, it ended with the other party simply hanging up.
The officer then proceeded to the station as instructed; when he arrived at the station, he noticed that other patrol cars were also arriving and that the other dozen or so officers looked just as confused as he did. The officer was met by a pair of men in black fatigues who greeted the officers, they then asked the officers to please, leave all communication items in their patrol cars. No radios, no mobile phones were to be taken inside with them.
After a short pause of bewildered mumbling, the officers complied and then were walked into the station; they were lead into one of the station briefing areas. They were met by a couple supervisors and more men in black fatigues.
The men were briefed that their help was needed to provide an impromptu escort for a truck carrying “cargo”. No other information was given, no questions were asked by the officers. They were told that this was a military operation and that they needed to act to secure the “cargo” and clean up the situation before the sun rose. They were told normally, military personnel would handle the situation, but since time was of the essence, they were going to use officers of the Dallas Police Department to secure the route the flat bed would take. The military officer in charge advised them that this was not going to be “pretty” and that “they had no time to wrap up the present, nice and neat”.
The officer at this point made the comment to me that he felt that this was not the first time this particular military officer had done this. When asked, the officer noted that the military personnel, who were in the room, including the officer, wore only the solid black fatigues, black combat boots and had no name tags, rank insignia, or unit designation on their uniforms.
It is here that the military officer instructed the officers that anything that happened during this “exercise” would have be held in the strictest secrecy, no one was allowed to talk about this, not to each other, not to their families, and not to fellow officers. The reports that they filled out would be handed directly to their supervisor who was instructed on how to handle those reports and hand them over to the military for safekeeping. The officer then stated that they were all required to sign a paper stating that they could be prosecuted for talking about this operation to anyone with out express permission from the United States government.
It was here that we took a few minutes break since the officer asked if we could take a few minutes break, he had to use the bathroom and grab bottled water. I agreed and pretty much did the same.
When we came back, we kind of re-capped the events up to the point, making sure to try to get as much as I could into the report. The officer again, reiterated that he would not give out any information that could possibly lead to his identification. I again agreed to his terms and proceeded with the interview.
The officer stated that he was given his instructions, he and four other officers were to block entrances to on ramps to Interstate 20, not allowing anyone access to the interstate till the convoy was safely down the road. He was instructed if the drivers were already on the interstate, to pull them over and hold them there until the convoy passed, using his car and himself, if possible to shield the driver and any passengers from seeing the flatbed as it passed by and continued down the road. They were instructed that the flat bed’s driver was instructed to keep driving as high a speed as he could without compromising the load’s integrity. Therefore it was up to the officers to keep the path clear of civilian vehicles.
The officer would not give specific details as to where exactly they met up with the truck or where the truck originated its journey. The officer threatened to end the interview if I kept insisting that he give out specific details. The only tidbit of information the officer gave me, was a passing comment that he was able to look out the window and see mixture of moon light and other lights reflecting off of Joe Pool Lake. The officer stated that they met a large semi- truck pulling a flat bed truck with what looked like a circular object on the back of it. The object was securely chained to the flat bed, but was uncovered. The object was a sort of dull gun metal grey from what he could see as the truck sped under the street lights. The officer noted that when the truck initially passed, there seemed to be a strange odor. The officer did not say if it came from the smoldering object on the back of the truck. He stated it smelt a lot like smoldering sulfur
The officer then described how the went about blocking the roads, while one blocked the exits or pulled over motorists, others would race ahead to clear out traffic and block other on-ramps and access points to the interstate, once the convoy had passed and gotten sufficiently down the road, he would then open the road back up and race to catch up and re-join the others in the rotation. He described how some of the government vehicles assisted them by blocking the on-ramps, he stated the vehicles carried four people in each one, each one of the passengers were dressed in full battle fatigues with body armor and carrying weapons. As the convoy wound its way through the interstate, the procedure was all the same, stop anyone already on the road, and block traffic from coming onto the interstate. The officer stated that they travelled approximately 10-12 miles before they were radioed instructions to proceed back to the station. When asked about the destination of the object, he responded that he did not know, others took over the job of escorting the truck and they were told to head back to the station post haste.
The officer then told of being met there by other men, these men did not wear fatigues, but wore suits. They were debriefed and told that they had taken part of a government response drill. That was being conducted in major cities through out the United States to gauge the response time of the military and local law enforcement to an incident such as the crash of a highly classified government plane or satellite. They were instructed, as before that they were not to speak of this; they would have to keep it to themselves for the sake of military security. They were then instructed on the procedure of turning in any reports that they had to write up to the police department supervisor.
At this point the officer’s family had returned home and the officer advised me that he did not want to speak with them present. He advised that we could make arrangements to speak again and wrap up the interview at a later time, when he would not expose the family to this. I agreed and advised him that I would write him back to set up the time.
I have written him back, twice and have not heard a response back, when I attempted to write him back a third time, the email came back to me as a failed to deliver. I therefore decided to publish as much as I could with the information given to me.
