UFO seen in Pecos New Mexico in 1957

Summary

In September 1957, an observer in Pecos, New Mexico, spotted a grapefruit-sized disc-shaped object, white with a yellow tint. The object left a long, dull blue vapor trail that vanished instantly. The sighting lasted just one second and no sound was heard. Although initially considered a possible meteor due to its short duration and trajectory, no definitive conclusion was reached.

The report classifies the sighting as "insufficient for evaluation" and no further action was taken. The observer, a 20-year-old civilian, accurately described the object and its southwest course. Despite clear skies and no air traffic, the case remains unresolved. The lack of physical or photographic evidence makes it difficult to draw any firm conclusions.
