This was by far the best combination of UFO reports I'd ever read
and I'd read every one in the Air Force's files.

The first thing I did after reading the reports was to rush a set of
the Lubbock photos to the intelligence officer of the 34th Air
Division in Albuquerque. I asked him to show the photos to the AEC
employee and his wife without telling them what they were. I
requested an answer by wire. Later the next day I received my answer:
"Observers immediately said that this is what they saw on the night
of 25 August. Details by airmail." The details were a sketch the man
and his wife had made of a wing around the photo of the Lubbock
Lights. The number of lights in the photo and the number of lights
the two observers had seen on the wing didn't tally, but they
explained this by saying that they could have been wrong in their
estimate.

The next day I flew to Lubbock to see if I could find an answer to
all of these mysterious happenings.

I arrived in Lubbock about 5:00P.M. and contacted the intelligence
officer at Reese AFB. He knew that I was on my way and had already
set up a meeting with the four professors. Right after dinner we met
them.

If a group had been hand-picked to observe a UFO, we couldn't have
picked a more technically qualified group of people. They were:

Dr. W. I. Robinson, Professor of Geology.

Dr. A. G. Oberg, Professor of Chemical Engineering.

Professor W. L. Ducker, Head of the Petroleum Engineering Department.

Dr. George, Professor of Physics.

This is their story:

On the evening of August 25 the four men were sitting in Dr.
Robinson's back yard. They were discussing micrometeorites and
drinking tea. They jokingly stressed this point. At nine-twenty a
formation of lights streaked across the sky directly over their
heads. It all happened so fast that none of them had a chance to get
a good look. One of the men mentioned that he had always admonished
his students for not being more observant; now he was in that spot.
He and his colleagues realized they could remember only a few details
of what they had seen. The lights were a weird bluish-green color and
they were in a semicircular formation. They estimated that there were
from fifteen to thirty separate lights and that they were moving from
north to south. Their one wish at this time was that the lights would
reappear. They did; about an hour later the lights went over again.
This time the professors were a lit
