“The Levelland Landing and
Sheriff Weir Clem – Updated”

By Kevin D. Randle, 13 August 2019

(A Different Perspective, Cedar Rapids, Iowa)

Quote from the article:

“As many of you know, I have long thought that the Levelland sightings of November 2/3, 1957, are among the best. There are multiple witnesses in multiple locations who reported their cars stopped and their lights dimmed at the close approach of a glowing red (and sometimes blue) egg-shaped craft.”

UFO Article (Blog):
“Levelland, Texas - November 1957 -
audio recordings transcribed”

By Keith Basterfield, 23 November 2016

(UFOs – scientific research, Campbelltown,

New South Wales, Australia)

Quote from the article:

“Introduction

Late on the evening of 2 November, 1957 and the early hours of the morning of 3 November, 1957 (local time), a number of individuals reported a series of incidents involving an unusual object, near the location of Levelland, Texas in the United States of America. There is much material available on the net, but I have been looking for primary material relating to the event, i.e. audio recordings of those directly involved; or written statements from those directly involved. This was to give me a better understanding of the core information, without the distortion of being written up in summary form by third parties.

Interestingly, I located no audio recordings of interviews with the actual witnesses. You might consider this normal for that era, i.e. rural Texas in 1957. However, I did locate two audio recordings made in 1957 with one of the central figures, Sheriff Weir Clem; plus, a transcript of a third interview with Sheriff Clem. These are the closest one can get to the witnesses’ testimony, at least in audio format. I will present these three in transcript form. After which, I will present written material gathered from direct interviews between witnesses and the United States Air Force’s Project Blue Book.”

UFO Paper:
“Nuclear Connection Project: NCP Paper:
NCP-22: UFOIS: The UFO Sighting Wave of 1957”

(NICAP.org)

Quote from the UFO paper:

“Date: Thursday, 3 January 2013

Up until 1957, the American view of UFOs was basically that of a phenomenon of lights in the sky observed by inexperienced witnesses.

Not all intelligence people were that calm about it, but concentrating on defense and the Soviets, made it easier to ignore it. But in early November the UFOs brought about a series of close encounters never before seen in the United States, providing another major stress that the military did not need. The minority group at Wright-Patterson AFB and the Pentagon, the UFO debunkers, would have to handle that matter on their own. They had Soviet Sputniks and ICBMs on their minds.

Project Blue Book received 1,006 reports of UFO sightings in 1957. This was the third highest UFO sighting year in the 1947 through 1969 time period of official Air Force investigations. The year of 1957 was highlighted by the Levelland, Texas sightings which occurred in November.

America

’s third major sighting wave of 1957 peaked in the first week of November 1957, with at least 30 accounts of electrical devices experiencing temporary failure in connection with a UFO sighting. The files of Project Blue Book show 330 reports for that week, while the files of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP) list almost 90 unexplained reports.

Out of 529 *U* Database listings for 1957, 208 were in November and 323 in North America. The busiest days 5 and 6 November (67 total listings) coincided exactly with the Taurids meteor shower. This is the only major wave to do so but if one looks at the data there is no direct connection, only a coincidence. The three busiest states were California (41), Texas (37) and New Mexico (33).

The most striking feature of this sighting wave was the concentration of ‘electromagnetic effect’ cases around the west Texas town of Levelland. There were at least eight such reports in the space of 2.5 hours in an area to the west, north and east of Levelland. Project Blue Book sent a single investigator to Levelland to check the reports. His explanation, accepted as the official Air Force conclusion, was that: ‘... the major cause for the Levelland case was a severe electrical storm. The storm stimulated the populace into a high level of excitement. This excitement reflected itself in their reactions to ordinary circumstances, and resulted in the inflation of the stories of some of the witnesses concerning their experiences.’ Ten years after these incidents, atmospheric physicist Dr. James McDonald completed a study and determined that there had been no storm in the area, and thus no source of excessive moisture to interfere with the automobiles' electrical systems. With no ‘severe electrical storm’ to ‘stimulate the populace into a high level of excitement,’ the official explanation falls apart.

UFO News Article:
“Texans Sight Bright Light”

8 November 1957

(Plainview Daily Herald, Texas)

Source: NICAP.org

This is an article about the 7 November 1957 (Thursday night) Amarillo area, Texas, UFO sightings and a Levelland, Texas, UFO observation.

Quote from the article:

“Sheriff Jack Cartwright at Dimmitt, on the upper South Plains, said the light was too large to be a star and appeared round. Stanley Vinson, police dispatcher at Hereford, described it as a bright object with blue lights on the bottom.

At Levelland, where a bright unidentified object was seen early Sunday, policeman A. J. Fowler said he followed the bright light by car Thursday night for about half an hour.

Fowler said it appeared to be two bright lights, one on top of the other, tinted red and blue.

He estimated it was about 2,500 feet high and about a mile away.”

“Brad Sparks:

Nov. 2, 1957; 4 miles W of Levelland, Texas (BBU)

10:50 p.m. Pedro Saucedo and Jose Salaz driving W saw a flash of light to the right of the road then a large 200 ft long 6 ft wide blue torpedo-shaped object, with yellow flame and white smoke emitted from the rear, rose up out of the field, headed straight toward their truck, passed directly overhead at about 200 ft with a loud thundering roar, a rush of wind and great heat, causing the truck engine to die and headlights to go out, then disappeared in the E towards Levelland, and the lights came back on spontaneously and the engine was able to be restarted.

UFO News Article:
“Object Lands On Highway”

4 November 1957

(Amarillo Daily News, Texas)

Source: theufochronicles.com

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.’ ”

UFO Book Excerpt:
“The Levelland, Texas, Sightings -
November 2, 1957”

Source: NICAP.org

The excerpt (Pages 123-128) comes from Dr. J. Allen Hynek’s book, The UFO Experience: A Scientific Inquiry (1972).

Quote from the book excerpt:

“What was needed at the time was swift reaction by Blue Book and a serious, thorough investigation. Captain Gregory, then head of Blue Book, did call me by phone, but at that time, as the person directly responsible for the tracking of the new Russian satellite, I was on a virtual around-the-clock duty and was unable to give it any attention whatever. I am not proud today that I hastily concurred in Captain Gregory’s evaluation as ‘ball lightning’ on the basis of information that an electrical storm had been in progress in the Levelland area at the time. That was shown not to be the case. Observers reported overcast and mist but no lightning. Besides, had I given it any thought whatever, I would soon have recognized the absence of any evidence that ball lightning can stop cars and put out headlights.

I was told that the Blue Book investigation consisted of the appearance of one man in civilian clothes at the sheriff’s office at about 11:45 A.M. On November 5; he made two auto excursions during the day and then told Sheriff Clem that he was finished.

A newspaper reporter subsequently said that he had recognized the investigator and identified him as an Air Force sergeant.

In any event, Blue Book came under severe pressure. In a memo dated December 4, 1957, Captain Gregory complained that.... . as a result of pressure from both the press and public

. . . Assistant Secretary of Defense requested that ATIC immediately submit a preliminary analysis to the press . . . a most difficult requirement in view of the limited data.’ ”
