For individuals interested in unidentified flying objects, or UFOs, Levelland, TX, has long been a place of intrigue. In November of 1957, a number of strange occurrences shocked many local townspeople, leading to newspaper headlines and, eventually, a full government investigation. To this day, many curiosity seekers come to Levelland to pay homage to the town and learn more for themselves. While you’re in town for work and enjoying your comfortable place to stay, it’s an exciting mystery to explore. 

Here is a rundown of why Levelland continues to fascinate and is an excellent place to stay for work and play alike:

• Spectacular Phenomena: On Nov. 2 and 3, 1957, several individuals saw what they described as a massive flash of colored light. Simultaneously, the engines in their vehicles died until the spectacle disappeared, and only then did they come back to life. Some saw blue, others red, and one described viewing an egg-like structure that was hundreds feet long. Just what these locals viewed has been puzzling interested parties for decades. 
• Long List of Witnesses: Unlike many other classic instances of UFO sightings, one element that distinguishes the Levelland incident is the deep pool of people who claim to have saw it. There were not just one or two people—there were fifteen, including a local sheriff. Furthermore, many of the viewings happened at different time points and in different locations, making it unlikely that a few people were witnessing the same hoax. 
• Enduring Questions: While the government did conduct an investigation into the event, many are still unsatisfied by its results. A report pointed to the phenomena of ball lightning to explain what people saw, but others argued that there hadn’t been any electrical storm happening in the region that night. More doubt emerged when it was released that only a few of the 15 witnesses had even been interviewed.
