White Sands (New Mexico) — November 3, 1957 (0300)
At Stallion Site, an army patrol in a jeep saw an orange, “apparently con- trolled,” luminous object on the ground near the site of the first A-bomb explosion. It was first seen as a sunlike source 50 m above ground, descending to ground level after 3 min, and landing several km away at the northern end of the testing grounds. Two wit- nesses. (M 238)
