Summary

On September 15, 1958, at 12:02 a.m., a civilian in Dallas, Texas reported a star-like object about the size of a pen that was white, pink, red, and blue. Four objects with no formation traveled in a straight path from northwest to southeast over Dallas, then instantaneously disappeared to the southeast. The sighting lasted one hour and thirty minutes. The witness was a housewife whose reliability was rated not usually reliable but possibly true. Two Air Force investigators were sent to Dallas Love Field but found no results. The Air Force concluded the sighting was unknown.
