UFO Update
ERATH COUNTY - There are more new reports pouring in about UFOs over Erath County.
In fact, there were so many reported sightings on Tuesday that an aircraft coordinated with spotters on the ground Wednesday hoping to get fresh video.
"I never watched Star Wars growing up. I was too busy hauling hay," said Ricky Sorrells.
But the rancher and welder was among the first in January to take the heat for publicly admitting he saw mysterious lights over Erath County.
Sorrells said he has occasionally seen them since then - including Tuesday night.
"They were huge," he said.
But this time, it's different.
Over the last few nights, many other people have reported sightings.
A stunned family in Dublin shot a video.
An organization called the Mutual UFO Network has an investigator interviewing witnesses.

Ricky Sorrells wants to know what those lights are."I'm tickled to death about it. I've got people calling me saying 'I saw them too. You're not crazy,'" said Sorrells.
Angelia Joiner started writing about the phenomenon as a reporter for the Stephenville Empire Tribune. No longer with the paper, she's now travels the country as a UFO researcher.
Joiner said a small plane will start assisting spotters on the ground with cameras.
Back in January, folks around Stephenville had a lot of fun with UFOs. This time, with so many sightings, it seems to be a little more serious.
"It tells you it's not a conspiracy," Joiner said. "They've seen them in Hico, Stephenville, Dublin - lots of towns."
For the record, Joiner and Sorrells are not saying they believe the lights are from spaceships.
"All we want to know is: What is it?" Sorrells asked.
