UFO sighted in New Mexico in 1952

Summary

In October 1952, multiple witnesses in New Mexico reported a luminous object moving rapidly across the sky. A military officer, watching a football game at a stadium, saw a bright blue-green object traveling in a straight line toward the northeast. Another observer, in a car, estimated the object was moving at around 2500 miles per hour and appeared larger than a typical falling star. Although initially considered a meteor, the nature of the sighting and its sudden disappearance raised some uncertainty.

Military authorities reviewed the testimonies and concluded it was likely a meteor. However, the number of people who reported the same phenomenon and the detailed description of its trajectory and color led to an official record. Despite investigations, no definitive explanation was found, and the case was filed as an unconfirmed astronomical event. The document includes sworn statements from several officers, adding credibility to the description of the phenomenon.
