There's a lot to talk about with this one, and it starts with some pretty buff minds, if I do say so. A lot of professors from a local college came in, and they had a lot of different disciplines under their belts. So this is what makes it so fascinating. A lot of documentation, a lot of study. So let's dive in.

On the evening of August 25th, 1951, there was a group of four professors from the Texas Technical College, now called the Texas Tech University. They gathered at the home of geologist Dr. W.I. Robinson. Now, Texas Tech is located, as you might know, Lubbock, Texas. It's the namesake for these lights. They don't have that name yet, of course, because it's just a regular night.

Now, the other three joining Robinson that night were chemical engineer A.G. Oberg, professor of physics Dr. George, and a department head and petroleum engineer W.L. Ducker. Now, the group were in the garden to watch and analyze, as I kind of assumed, the Perseides meteor shower, but they were out that night to look at a meteor shower.

Now, the one I quoted is one that typically happens every year in August because that's the timeframe we're looking at. And as they were looking out that night, they saw something completely out of the ordinary. Coming out of the northeast, the professor saw a semicircle of several circular lights.

Others later described this formation of lights in more of a V formation, something like you'd see with birds. But they stood by their definition of it being a kind of semicircle, an arc of these circular lights. After the lights disappeared, the professors decided to wait and watch for them to reappear, see if this was something that was a one-off or if it would come back by.
