Narrative

On 5 April 1955 at 1745Z, Mr. Rudolf W. Wolf observed a round object with a fan-shaped tail 5 miles SE of Elk, New Mexico. Object was greenish-purple with orange tail. Object descended slowly (approximately same speed as a falling rock) from approximately 30 degrees elevation/180 degrees azimuth to horizon, then exploded approximately 2 feet above the ground with a 2-foot flash. Witnessed for 10 seconds. Observer's eyes smarted on reaching area immediately after explosion. Investigation concluded: reflection through truck windshield. Little reliance placed in sighting due to lack of physical evidence.
