Location of Levelland, Texas
The Levelland UFO case occurred on November 2–3, 1957, on the highways around the small town of Levelland, Texas. Levelland, which in 1957 had a population of about 10,000, is located west of Lubbock on the flat prairie of the Texas South Plains. The case is considered by ufologists to be one of the most impressive in UFO history, mainly because of the large number of witnesses involved over a relatively short period of time.[1] However, both the US Air Force and UFO sceptics have described the incident as being caused by either ball lightning or a severe electrical storm.[2][3]
