USAF / National Archives via The Black Vault · 82 pages · text by GLM-OCR

This 81-page Project Blue Book case file covers the Levelland, Texas sightings of the night of 2 to 3 November 1957. It holds the record card, Air Force teletype reports from the 1006th AISS and radar units, witness questionnaires, press clippings about the White Sands sightings, and analyst memos. Several witnesses said a bluish-white oval object stopped their car engines. The Air Force concluded the cause was ball lightning in stormy weather, with wet or faulty ignition systems explaining the engine failures.

RE: Prime Source in Levelland UFO Case

During the course of the investigation at Levelland, all attempts possible were made to locate R truck driver and prime source in the sighting.

Contrary to newspaper reports, source did not live in Levelland. He was from outside the city and could not be contacted by the sheriff of Hockley County.
