The article reports on
the 2-3 November 1957 Levelland, Texas, UFO case.
Quote from the article:
“Sightings of a blazing oval-shaped object that landed
on highways and then took off at tremendous speeds straight up early this
morning have been reported to the sheriff’s offices here by at least five
witnesses from different points near Levelland.
Sheriff Weir Clem said he saw the light from the
object himself when he and Deputy Pat McCulloch went out to investigate the
sightings at 1:30 a.m., but that he ‘didn’t actually see the thing — only the
light from it, as if a flare had been lighted.’
Clem also said that the object or its illumination was
seen by two highway patrolmen and a constable from Anton, Lloyd Bollen.
Rep. J. T. Rutherford (D-Tex.), at his Odessa home,
called for a statement from the Pentagon on this and other sightings. He said
he was dispatching a telegram asking for an explanation from Air Force
officials in Washington.
‘If this thing is American, there should be some
explanation—at least to people in the area—that it is an American experiment so
they will not be alarmed,’ the congressman declared.
‘If it’s not American, the people also should be
notified so they can do something—declare open season on it.’ ”
