Summary

In July 1957, a family in San Antonio, Texas, observed six orange, round objects the size of a quarter. Three formed a "V" shape and three trailed behind. The sighting lasted about a minute, with the objects moving southeast. The observation was ground-based and visual, with no photos or radar involved. The witness noted heavy air traffic in the area due to Tactical Air Command units, leading investigators to consider the possibility of aircraft.

The official evaluation concluded it was likely aircraft, though no conclusive evidence was found. Both Kelly Tower and the weather bureau received similar calls but couldn't gather useful information. No emergencies or flights of six aircraft were reported in the area. Despite the lack of concrete answers, the report considered the possibility of aircraft due to the intense aerial activity in the region at that time.
