Red and white UFO seen in Texas in 1949

Summary

A soldier at Camp Hood, Texas, reported a white object resembling a baseball that appeared above the treetops and turned red. It moved slowly westward and vanished after a few minutes. Several witnesses, including other soldiers, observed similar objects with colors ranging from white to red and green. Some reports mention the objects moving in straight lines or low arcs, without noise or trail. Although initially considered an unidentified aerial phenomenon, the official conclusion pointed to flares or fireworks as an explanation. The testimonies agree on bright lights, no sound or smell, and controlled movements, which generated some controversy among UFO researchers.
