Pie-pan UFOs Near Wink, Texas

Summary

Described as aluminum-colored and pie-pan shaped, the objects were seen rapidly climbing southward toward Mexico. A phosphorescent exhaust trail was noted by the witnesses. The sighting was recorded in official documents, though with a 24-hour time error and no identifying information on the observers.

The report includes weather details such as clear skies, 15-mile visibility, and moderate winds. Despite no known air traffic in the area, the objects could not be identified. The lack of witness information made it difficult to assess their credibility. The case was filed without definitive conclusions, but remains an intriguing piece of UFO history.
