This compilation of Project Blue Book microfilm pages from Roll 92 covers the reported UFO sighting near Levelland, Texas, on the night of 2 to 3 November 1957. It includes a letter from the Air Force Office of Special Investigations district office at Carswell AFB, which says Reese AFB reported the event and that ADC investigator S/Sgt Norman P. Barth looked into it for ATIC. OSI opened no investigation of its own. A teletype message describes a fiery object that sounded like thunder and landed in an open field.

Additional reports filtered in to the Provost Marshal's Office by means of civil police radio indicating that an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO) was reported rather than a burning aircraft. Major DANIEL R. KESTER, Reese AFB, Provost Marshal, conducted a preliminary investigation and obtained sufficient information for a TWX report in accordance with AFR 200-2. Such report was transmitted on 3 November 1957 by Captain SAMUEL GOLDSTEIN, Acting Counterintelligence Officer, Reese AFB, Texas. Information obtained from both the Provost Marshal's Office and the Wing Intelligence Office on 4 November 1957, reflected that the names of some of the witnesses as contained in the original TWX were misspelled. Identifying data which was not available at the time the TWX was transmitted was made available. A corrected list of witnesses who reportedly observed the citing is as follows: farm hand and part-time barber. Levelland, Texas
