UFO sighted in Hereford Texas in 1957

Summary

In November 1957, a witness in Hereford, Texas, reported a luminous object moving rapidly from north to south. The object, the size of a football, was visible for only a few seconds. Although the witness thought it might be a meteor, it was noted to be brighter than usual and followed a straight path. The official report classified it as a meteor, but the description suggests something unusual.

The case was forwarded to the Air Technical Intelligence Center, where additional information was requested through a questionnaire. Despite investigations, no clear conclusion was reached. The testimony includes details such as the heat felt by a vehicle when the object passed over it, adding mystery to the event. The document reflects the official uncertainty about the nature of the sighting.
