Amazing Stories, November 1957
This is not a pulp magazine, but a classified Air Force intelligence report documenting a UFO sighting. The forms record a November 2, 1957 incident near Canadian, Texas, where a civilian observer encountered a submarine-shaped object, red and white, approximately two to three automobile lengths long and eight feet high, positioned in a roadside field. The object displayed a white flag or figure at its top. When the observer's vehicle approached, a flash of light extinguished his headlights; they reactivated when he resumed driving away. The sighting lasted approximately three minutes and was investigated by Captain John F. Staley of the U.S. Air Force's 312th Fighter Wing. The report includes detailed observation documentation and concludes the source reliability was questionable, with insufficient data for definitive evaluation.
