The OA covered most of the basics.
The following are a few things that stood out to me.
- Object appeared to lengthen and then shorten.
- One observer stated that the object ascended at a 15 degree angle with the other saying a 30 degree angle.
-One observer believes the object changed trajectory while the other noticed no change.
-Estimated that object was travelling at 5 times the speed of any rocket that had been fired at WSPG.
-Manner of disappearance recorded as "Vanished".
-Officially recorded as a meteor sighting.

Archivist's Notes: This is the investigation report from a sighting by multiple witnesses, of an object on October 2nd, 1951 at 2100 local time in White Sands, New Mexico. The object was described as being ten foot long, slender, and shaped like a rocket with a halo on its underside. Its color was that of a “sulfa match when rubbed”. The object appeared to travel from the Northeast turning to due north , and disappearing 15 seconds later.
