These sightings commenced the night of August 25th, 1951, and were witnessed by an Atomic Energy Commission executive and his wife from their Lubbock, Texas, backyard and simultaneously observed by four respected Texas scientists from their vantage point in another part of town.

The object (or object) was perceived as approximately three dozen bluish lights. It had the appearance of a giant flying wing as it twice moved across the night skies. Several hundred people in the area witnessed the same phenomenon over the next several days.

On August 31, Carl Hart Jr. photographed the lights, but photo analysis could prove neither that Hart’s still pictures were real or that they were a hoax.
