James Stokes sighted a UFO 16 kilometres (10 miles) to the south of Orogrande, New Mexico.

People from six other cars also observed the UFO incident, according to a 5 November 1957 Alamogordo Daily News article (see below link).

Quote from the Alamogordo Daily News article:

“It must have been about 300 to 500 feet long and was of material—would have been something like 100-200 feet in thickness. There were no windows, or observation platforms visible on the object,’ he [James Stokes] continued.”

Stokes guessed that the UFO (which had the colour of an egg) travelled at a rate of Mach 1 or Mach 2.

A Mr. Duncan of Las Cruces, New Mexico, photographed the UFO, according to Stokes.

This is an electromagnetic (EM) interference (stalled cars and radio signal interference)/medical incident (sunburn) UFO case.

Orogrande, New Mexico, is located 51 kilometres (32 miles) to the south of Holloman Air Force Base and White Sands Missile Range.
