UFO sighted in New Mexico and Texas in 1958

Summary

In June 1958, witnesses in Eunice, New Mexico, and Pecos, Texas, reported multiple sightings of unidentified flying objects. The testimonies described orange-colored objects with trails, a round object the size of a baseball, and a "ball of fire" with a flaming tail. Although the witnesses did not precisely match the time and location, military investigators concluded the sightings were related to a meteor shower. The lack of photographs and imprecise witness data made a more precise evaluation difficult. However, meteorological analyses and the event's location supported the theory that these were astronomical phenomena. The case was declassified decades later after its classification was canceled.
