Blue Book, the end. |
The case of the Lubbock lights is very rich and frustrating at the same time. It is explained, but the explanation has been kept secret.

The lights revealed brighter on film than to the naked eyes according to this witness.
This picture of the Lubbock lights has been sometimes introduced as taken by Coast Guards. I do not believe this is true, Blue Book indicates that only four photographs exist, all taken by Carl Hart, who said took five pictures but could only produce four of them.
