AI-Generated Summary
An Air Force report detailing a 1965 sighting of a round, blue object with a red tail near Hereford, Texas. The military concluded the object was likely a meteorite and deemed the witness unreliable.
This document is an official Air Force incoming message regarding a UFO sighting reported on August 2, 1965, near Hereford, Texas. The witness, a 44-year-old housewife from Clovis, New Mexico, reported observing a round object with a blue body and a reddish tail, which she estimated to be the size of a grapefruit held at arm's length. The object was observed for one to two seconds at 0430Z, moving in a straight path descending at a 45-degree angle to the left before disappearing instantaneously at the horizon. The witness was in a car at the time and reported no sound. The investigating officer, 2/LT David F. Clodenburg of the 27TFW at Cannon AFB, noted that the observer was considered unreliable due to the vagueness of her report and her initial, inconsistent claim that the object was as large as a basketball. The report concludes that the object may have been a meteorite. Official checks with ARTC and FAA in Albuquerque yielded no supporting information, and local radar was inoperative at the time of the sighting.
The observer is believed to be unreliable because her report is not confirmed by any available sources.
