Narrative

On 4 October 1955 at approximately 0906C, USAF aircrew Bowman and 1st Lt Arthur from Laughlin AFB, TX, while flying at 20,000 ft on heading 180 degrees magnetic, sighted a blazing light east of their position. First sighted 3-5 degrees above the horizon, it moved downward over approximately 38 seconds until dissipating about 18 degrees below the horizon. It burned with changing orange intensity and exhibited a short tail, resembling an aircraft burning in flight. The crew altered course and searched the terrain with negative ground sighting. The Air Defense conclusion was probably astronomical.
