At 1955 hours, February 7, 1950, Cpl Edward S. Brunskoie and Cpl Robert W Pound, of the Office Of Special Investigations, 17th District, Kirtland AFB, NM, observed a reddish-green round object moving south southeast to east in a straight line for 4 to 6 seconds. The speed of the object was that of a meteor. Object appeared twice the size of evening star.
