This project revolves around everything odd.  Originally Skycypher and I founder this project on January 29th, 2007, called OddKitsap, which focused on the odd in Kitsap County, Washington, which is where we both reside.  In June of 2007 we transitioned over to a national focus called OddAmerica.com.

Reflecting back over the past year, we’ve reported on numerous issues, helped in the research and definition of odd throughout out our home locations and nationwide.  We want to express our sincere thanks to everyone who has visited and participated within the scope of this entire project, and supported of our efforts.

To date, we’ve recieved roughly 1 million hits combined between OddKitsap and OddAmerica.  With over 3,000 hits daily we still push forward in our endeavors with making OddAmerica, a community driven atmosphere where reports of oddness can reside.

We look forward to another year in defining the oddness around the nation!

Day to Day, January 24, 2008 · The Air Force is changing its story on what happened on a recent night in Stephenville, Texas, when dozens of witnesses say they spotted a UFO.

Two weeks ago, witnesses reported seeing a large aircraft with white lights hovering for about five minutes before being chased away by jet fighters.

The Air Force Reserve in nearby Fort Worth initially scoffed at reports and denied the possibility that it had fighters in the area. Air Force officials reversed course Wednesday, however, and admitted there were nearly a dozen F-16s over Stephenville that night.

Does this new revelation bolster or cast doubt on the witnesses’ stories?

The night of the supposed UFO sighting, just after 6 p.m., Claudette Odom, her husband and two other friends, were clearing brush near her house. They were standing on top of a hill with visibility that extended more than 20 miles in every direction. From out of the west, Odom saw an object approach in the darkness.

“I’ve never seen anything that fast. Maybe a rock or a missile or something,” she says.

Odom says they watched in wonder as the aircraft approached Stephenville and then silently hovered outside the outskirts of town. The lights flickered then went solid, shaping into a massive arch, she says, before forming a single bright vertical line that split into two.

“They were extremely, extremely bright. Like an arc on a welder, they were that sharp,” Odom says.

As they watched the object hover in place, they were startled by the explosive sound of two F-16s, screaming directly over their hill at low altitude, heading toward the UFO, she recalls.
