Well looks like reports were coming in from much further afield during the same timeframe but when it came to the actual official investigation into the Levelland 'flap' I think it's fair to say the USAF didn't really give a toss.
Quote:• "The Air Force sent a single investigator, a sergeant in civilian clothes, who showed up at noon two days later, spoke only with a few of the witnesses, and left before the day was over."

Found it interesting how the motor-vehicle's headlamps were said to be 'lighting up in rhythm with the pulsated light from the object' (as that's not the first time that's been reported) and there's a document here compiled by Antonio Rullán examining eyewitness testimonies taken from Newell E. Wright, Pedro Saucedo, Ronald Martin, James Long, Jim Wheeler, Jose Alvarez and Frank Williams.
Mentioned dams in the previous post and saw that there was also a.case from one year later (Loch Raven Dam) with very similar aspects involving a large, flat egg-shaped object, EM effects on the car and witness burns.

Some pertinent info on this page and do have a lot of respect for Dr Mcdonald as he debunked a lot of the 'absurdly erroneous' Bluebook explanations whilst working for the Office of Naval Intelligence - here he is alluding to the Levelland cases whilst also bringing up 'stopped clocks'.
Don't know if you'd be interested in it but thought there was a good vid below breaking down his 'war' with infamous UFO debunker (and covert NSA/CIA operative) Donald Howard Menzel.
It also covers how Dr McDonald discovered that in many official UFO explanations "there was almost no correlation between so-called 'evaluations and explanations' that are made by Bluebook and the facts of the case."
