Two of the most famous UFO cases in American history happened right here in West Texas, six years apart. 

Lubbock Lights (1951): professors watch, measure, and even photograph bluish formations. 

Levelland (1957): glowing, egg-like objects stall car engines and lift away—seen by a dozen witnesses, including the sheriff. 

A secretive Air Force unit investigates both. Its explanations raise more questions than they answer. 

We follow the paper trail across the South Plains—witness interviews, declassified files, and firsthand investigator accounts. 

Birds? Lightning? Black projects? Aliens? What (or who) was cruising West Texas in the 1950s?
