October 24, 1953 - Concord, California

"Today at about 11:45 AM we observed a phenomenon that we should very much like to have explained:
"In the sky (it was a warm, sunny day) appeared several hundred (one estimate says 2000)

foamlike snow-white, gleaming objects, floating and tumbling along on the breeze. Some were high in the sky, mere white specks, others traveled close to the ground and three settled in our garden; one about 4 feet by 3 feet draped itself over a rose bush, another about 10 feet by 3 or 4 fe…

# LUBBOCK LIGHTS REPEAT

"There have been numerous sightings of formations of 'lights' in this area and over a relatively short period of time. In every instance each sighting was observed by two or more Air Force Weather Observers. All the sightings took place at night. The first sighting was by accident, those following were during planned 'Irregular Phenomena Watches', taken on by the Airmen themselves".

## Sightings - (all times in Central Standard)

Time: 2015 to 2030 25 Oct 53
First sighting: 2015 "V" formation …

Second sighting: 2115 (approx) Sighted largest "V" formation yet, nine to twelve glowing discs or lights of very dull white light.

This of course is a presumption but is based on what we saw.

Since these sightings the Observers of the weather statio…
