UFO seen near Farmington in 1957

Summary

An object was observed on November 26, 1957, east of Farmington, New Mexico. Described as long, the size of a bulky fountain pen, and brilliant white in color, it left a wide trail as it moved. The witness observed it for 15 minutes, and the object traveled approximately 8 miles southwest, then 10 miles southeast, and finally west, until it faded from view. Although the official report suggests it might have been a controlled aircraft, the object's description and trajectory don't easily match conventional explanations.

The sighting was recorded as a ground visual observation, with no radar or photographs. The official report did not reach a definitive conclusion, but ruled out a balloon or astronomical phenomenon. Despite the lack of additional data, the case remains intriguing due to the detailed description of the object and its unusual movement.
