Orogrande, NM
November 4, 1957

 
Francis Ridge:
On the 4 November 1957 about 1:10 p. m. local time, near Orogrande, NM, James W. Stokes, a high altitude research engineer, saw an elliptical UFO sweep across the highway twice.  The car radio and the engine failed.  Stokes claimed that other drivers were also on the road, and their engines had also failed.  Stokes felt a wave of heat, and later his face appeared "sunburned."
