Green UFO in New Mexico 1949

Summary

In January 1949, multiple witnesses in New Mexico observed an unusual aerial phenomenon: a green fireball traveling horizontally at low altitude. A U.S. Air Force report details how agents investigated the case, interviewed witnesses, and used engineering tools to measure the object's trajectory. The green light, described as resembling a flare, was accompanied by a high-pitched whining sound similar to German "buzz bombs" from World War II. Despite efforts, no physical evidence was found, and testimonies varied slightly, though generally consistent. The investigation concluded without a clear explanation, classifying the event as "unknown."

The fireball was primarily seen near Walker Air Force Base near Roswell and also reported in other areas like Clovis and Artesia. A 10-year-old boy in Amherst described a rumbling noise similar to a short thunderclap. Investigators recorded coordinates and directions but couldn't locate an impact site. The official report, though detailed, failed to solve the mystery, leaving the case as one of many unidentified aerial phenomena from that era.
