Unidentified Flying Object Report — 22 November 1966, Roswell, New Mexico

On 22 November 1966, two individuals, identified as the Director and Assistant Director of the Roswell New Mexico Museum, observed an unidentified aerial phenomenon while driving from Vaughn to Roswell, New Mexico, on Highway 235. The sighting began at approximately 1930 MST and lasted for one hour. The witnesses initially mistook the object for a bright star, but after driving 20 miles, they observed it move west across the highway and drop from 35 degrees to 20 degrees above the horizon. They described the object as a pulsating white light that would dim and be followed by a blinking red light. The object moved in a non-erratic fashion, performing sharp, quick turns and changing altitudes, before eventually moving out of sight due to terrain. The report was submitted to the Information Office at Walker Air Force Base and subsequently forwarded to the Project Blue Book Office at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. The official conclusion reached by the evaluating authorities was that there was insufficient data for a formal evaluation.
