More than 300 people claimed they saw a giant, \u201cdelta-shaped\u201d UFO crossing the Texas sky over 16 years ago.<\/p>\n
Estimates of its size ranged from \u201cover 300 feet to one mile long,\u201d as the large \u201cV-shaped formation,\u201d sometimes seen with seven orange-red lights.<\/p>\n
Now, a new documentary aims to bring new details to light on the \u201cspaceship\u201d.<\/p>\n
Netflix\u2019s new series \u201cEncounters\u201d, which premiered on Wednesday, shed new light on the 2007 and 2008 sightings of a UFO in Stephenville.<\/p>\n
Produced by Steven Spielberg, several eyewitnesses and the nanotechnology engineer whose investigation helped to \u201ccapture\u201d the giant UFO spoke to Netflix about the moment for it’s new show.<\/p>\n

Robert Powell, the engineer in question, said his work on the 2007-2008 Stephenville, Texas, UFO incident was one of the last times the FAA would release raw radar tower data to the general public via the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA).<\/p>\n
He told the Daily Mail: \u201cNext time I asked, I couldn’t get that radar data.<\/p>\n
\u201cBasically, what they no longer provide is the type that I got there, where you get the individual tower and all of the raw data that comes from that radar tower.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pilot and businessman Steve Allen told Netflix he saw high-intensity lights moving at an incredibly high velocity at the time of the Stephenville sighting.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cIt was almost like a religious experience like I was at one with whatever it was.\u201d<\/p>\n
One believer also claimed he managed to capture the possible UFO on his video camera.<\/p>\n
However, they said that \u201csomething was interfering with the quality \u2026 whoever was responsible for it, did not want clear footage of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
It comes as Scottish IT expert Gary McKinnon, who claims he found evidence of contact with \u201cnon-terrestrial\u201d, poured cold water on hopes proof of aliens will be made public<\/p>\n

Now 57, McKinnon illegally gained access to US Army, Navy, Air Force, Pentagon, and NASA computers in 2002.<\/p>\n
He told the US Sun: \u201cThey will never tell us the truth \u2026 As usual, [NASA]said nothing, on balance (with their recently published study into Unidentified Aerial Phenomena).<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd when pressed they just repeated their non-committal statement.<\/p>\n
“We’ll never get any truth from military institutions, which NASA is, regardless of the fact that it pretends to be a civilian institution.”<\/p>\n
