The Chihuahua report came to me from Elaine Douglass, of Washington, D.C.. officer of Operation Right To Know, who coordinated the picket march in Washington, D.C. in July. 1993. Receiving it in the mail in the summer of 1993, postmarked Santa Ana. California, she said, “It came probably as a result of publicity following the march.”

The report, titled, Research Findings on the Chihuahua Disk Crash, and bearing the sender’s initials, JS. was addressed to “Deneb Team Members,” dated March 23, 1992. When Elaine and I discussed the report in August, neither of us had seen it published before or knew of other copies in the hands of researchers.

One compelling reason, I believe, the report is worthy of space in this monograph, is based on my recollection that I had heard of the Chihuahua case before, either in the late 1970s or early 1980s. The only detail I vaguely recall is that a U.S. military team had covertly crossed into Mexico to retrieve the object.

More on Mexico. I am aware of other incursions into that country. One was a naval retrieval. In my UFO Crash/Retrievals: Is the Coverup Lid Lifting? (January, 1989), I reported a case occurring in 1948 when a U.S. naval team from the U.S.S. McKinley, docked in San Diego (a command ship, cargo class for amphibious operations), was dispatched into a remote region to retrieve a “flying saucer.” According to my firsthand source, who was a messenger aboard the vessel, he heard a task force officer on his return say, “We got some dead bodies and some managed to get away.” He also remembers reading a brief item in a San Diego newspaper about a crash in Mexico.

Also of pertinence, when I made my initial disclosure about UFO crash/retrievals in my monograph, Retrievals of the Third Kind at the MUFON Symposium in Dayton. Ohio, 1978, I was informed circuitously by the CIA several days in advance that it would be inadvisable to reveal information about UFO crashes in Mexico and West Germany. Actually I had no reference to Mexican crashes, but neither the CIA or anyone else knew what I had tucked into my monograph. Looking back, as I learned more about Mexican expeditions, I suspect that the concern focused on illegal entries into that country to recover alien craft. Thus, the alleged Chihuahuan crash in 1974 would have been of significance. See page 8 in The UFO Crash/Retrieval Syndrome (1980) for reference to the CIA advisement that I should avoid mention of retrievals of UFO crashes in Mexico. Reviewing the text of the JS report which follows, I find that it is authoritatively written, using correct military terminology, and. of note, unlike a hoax, it draws a line between so-called “hard evidence” and that which is speculative.

On 25 Aug. 74, at 2207 hrs., U.S. Air Defense radar detected an unknown approaching U.S. airspace from the Gulf of Mexico. Originally the object was tracked at 2,200 (2530 mph) knots on a bearing of 325 degrees and at an altitude of 75.
