Probably explained
The Lubbock Lights
Several professors from Texas Tech saw arcs of faint lights pass silently overhead on multiple nights. A college student, Carl Hart Jr., photographed formations of bright dots. Project Blue Book under Edward Ruppelt investigated closely.
Weigh the evidence
The ledger
What the record shows, what people say, and the best explanation available so far.
What's documented
- The professors' accounts and Hart's photos are in the Blue Book files.
What's claimed
- Formations of craft.
Best explanation so far
Ruppelt concluded the professors likely saw migrating birds (plovers) lit from below by new streetlights. Hart's photos were never fully explained.
