Unidentified white and red object seen in Los Alamos in 1949

Summary

In May 1949, at the Los Alamos Laboratory in New Mexico, several witnesses reported sightings of unidentified aerial objects. A security inspector, William D. Wilson, described a white object moving very fast toward the north, visible for 2 to 7 seconds. Another witness, Sergeant Elwood E. Obert, observed a very bright light traveling from south to north at high speed, estimated between 40 and 1000 mph. The reports agree that no sound or odor was detected, and the objects disappeared suddenly without leaving physical evidence. Despite multiple observations, no photos or physical evidence were obtained.
