1. Forwarded herewith in accordance with AFR 200-2, is information obtained by our OSI Detachment, Holloman AFB, New Mexico, from Mr. [James Stokes], Civilian Employee (Electronics Technician – Telemetry, GS-11), Holloman AFB, New Mexico, who advised that while driving south of Orogrande, New Mexico on Highway 54 at approximately 1310 hours, 4 November 1957, he noticed that his car radio began to fade as though the radio tube filaments had been turned off, and the engine of his car slowed and quit. [James Stokes] advised that he pulled off the highway and at that time noticed another motorist pointing toward the sky. He stated that he then observed an unidentified flying object approaching from a northeast direction which appeared to swoop toward the town of Orogrande and headed north. [James Stokes] estimated the speed of the object to be extremely fast (in the Mach 1 or Mach 2 range), stating that this estimation was based on his comparison of the time the object was visible and the known distance between the San Andres Mountain Range and the Sacramento Mountain Range. [James Stokes] indicated that he felt a rising temperature and that his face was slightly sunburned, however, the burn was not painful. [James Stokes] furnished the following information which is submitted for any action you may deem appropriate.

a. Description of the Object:

(1) Parabolic shape.
