In Lubbock, Texas, in 1951, one of the most famous UFO cases in the history of The United States occurred. Hundreds of residents of the city reported seeing lights flying over the city, low and silent, in strange formations, at speeds as slow as 600 MPH, but possibly as fast as 1,800 MPH. From PhD level professors at Texas Tech to Q-level security clearance workers in New Mexico, people across the state report seeing one of the strangest and most recurring UFO sightings on record.

This week, on The What If? Podcast, we dive into our second episode of Project Blue Book related material, and talk about one of the most documented and fascinating stories in the UFO canon. What flew over Lubbock, Texas those summer nights? What did Carl Hart catch on his 35MM camera? Are they true UFO photos? Are these visitors from another planet? Secretive Air Force missions? We'll never know. But we'll try to find out. On this week's episode of The What If? Podcast.

Hot Topics (are back!): Ghost Beer, Ecto Cooler, Hidden Pee Breaks, Strawberry Juice, Backyard Nerds, How Fast Do Planes Fly?, and a whole lot more.
