One of the most incredible UFO sightings in ufology occurred on November 2, 1957, when dozens reported strange things in the skies over Levelland, Texas. The sheriff’s office and on-duty Patrolman A.J. Fowler were flooded with calls from scared citizens reporting bright lights in the sky. Shortly after 11:00 PM, Pedro Saucedo and Joe Salaz called in when their pickup truck suddenly rolled to a stop as they watched a 61-meter (200 ft) cigar-shaped object fly overhead. Moments later, their truck started back up again, as if nothing happened. For the time being, Fowler shrugged off the report.
Later, however, more reports came in from others claiming that their vehicles had stalled while either watching a UFO in the sky above or encountering bright objects just sitting in the road. Fowler wrote down that the sheriff’s office took over 15 calls on these strange lights. At 1:30 AM, Sheriff Clem and Deputy McCullough left the station to track down the lights in the sky. Just outside of Levelland, they witnessed a “large, glowing object” fly over the highway ahead of them.
For about three hours, the skies over Levelland and the surrounding area were filled with strange lights. Dozens of witnesses came forward, and the Air Force conducted a brief investigation. They said the UFOs and lights were nothing more than ball lightning, a natural weather anomaly. While lightning was spotted hours later in nearby Lubbock, many still claim something truly paranormal was over Levelland on that odd autumn night.
