1951 Lubbock Texas Incidents



The 1951 Lubbock Texas Incidents were a series of UFO-related events that occurred in August and September 1951.

Multiple witnesses in the area reported spotting a strange formations of lights moving in the skies over Lubbock throughout this month-long period. Many others claimed to have seen a giant, silent "flying wing" hovering over the area. A college student named Carl Hart Jr. took several 35mm photographs of a "V" formation of lights moving slowly over his city.

The United States Air Force and Project GRUDGE investigated these incidents and later came to the conclusion that what was actually seen was flocks of birds called plovers, which was rejected by most of the witnesses.

Operative-132 specifically mentioned visiting Lubbock, Texas as part of his duties on UFO-related military projects like SIGN and GRUDGE, most likely referring to interviews following up on these events.

Operative-132's Recollections
While on a stakeout with FBI Agent Cooper in November 1952, Operative-132 revealed that he had previously worked on several Top-Secret military projects, specifically mentioning Project SIGN and Project GRUDGE. Because of his work on these projects, he was taken all over the country to conduct interviews and do research. Places he mentioned included Fargo North Dakota, New Mexico, Lubbock Texas, and "even those Washington Nationals back in July", referring to the infamous July 1952 Washington D.C. UFO Sightings.

Despite revealing this information to Agent Cooper, when pressed for a story on the alleged 1947 Roswell UFO crash, O-132 laughed it off as swamp gas, temperature inversions, and/or a meteor shower.
