A UFO Disrupts 10 Cars And Is Seen By 15 People 1957

The Levelland UFO case occurred on November 2 to 3, 1957 in and around the small town of Levelland, Texas Levelland which in 1957 had a population of about 10,000 is located west of Lubbock on the flat prairie of the Texas South Plains The case is considered by ufologists to be one of the most impressive in UFO history mainly because of the large number of witnesses involved over a relatively short period of time On the evening of November 2, 1957 two immigrant farm workers Pedro Saucedo and Joe Salaz called the Levelland police department to report a UFO sighting Saucedo told police officer A.J. Fowler who was working the night desk at the police station that they had been driving four miles (6 km) west of Levelland when they saw a blue flash of UFO light near the road They claimed their truck's engine died and a rocket-shaped object rose up and approached the truck According to Saucedo I jumped out of the truck and hit the dirt because I was afraid I called to Joe but he didn't get out The thing passed directly over my truck with a great sound and rush of wind It sounded like thunder and my truck rocked from the flash I felt a lot of heat As the object moved away the truck's engine restarted and worked normally Believing the story to be a joke Fowler ignored it An hour later motorist Jim Wheeler reported a brilliantly lit egg shaped object about 200 feet long was sitting in the road four miles (6 km) east of Levelland blocking his path He claimed his vehicle died and as he got out of his car the UFO took off and its lights went out As it moved away Wheeler's car restarted and worked normally.
