Summary/Description: Carroll Watts, a farmer, had just left his father’s farmhouse; as he drove near his own property, he saw a light near an abandoned farmhouse. Fearing prowlers, he drove to within 200 ft and approached on foot, finding a gray bullet shaped object, 100 feet long and 8-10 feet in diameter, with a 20″ diameter light in its nose, hovering a foot above the ground.

Watts walked around the object and, finding the outline of an unopened hatch, knocked on it. A U-shaped door was lowered from the hull, to the sound of a whirring motor; steps inside the door led into the interior of the craft which was illuminated by a bluish-white light and contained instruments and electronic type equipment. On the opposite side of the room he observed what appeared to be a map, about a foot above the floor, about a yard square in size.

Shortly after the door opened, Watts heard a mechanical sounding voice, although he saw no one; the voice addressed him by name and asked him to submit to a “strenuous” physical examination, as a prerequisite for being given a ride in the object. Alarmed, Watts quickly retreated and left the area.

He reported the incident within days to the local Air Force Base at Amarillo.
