I'm from Cypress, TX, (a suburb about 25 miles outside of Houston). Houston is a very large city and it is hard to see stars because of all the city lights coming from downtown We see tons of things in the sky at night, but they are all airplanes, jets, and helicopters. No UFO's in Houston.
Stephenville is a small town, less lights from any city, etc. If 36 people saw something odd, who knows what it could be?
I have relatives that live in a tiny town called Chillicothe, TX... population of about 500. You can see millions of stars, satellites, meteorites, etc. It's beautiful, but nothing extraterrestrial.
