UFO crashes

It was the morning of April 19, 1897, when 10-year-old Charlie Stephens and his father were shocked to observe a large, metallic, cigar-shaped object with bright lights passing overhead at a low elevation. The unidentified craft flew to the north, heading toward the town of Aurora, Texas. Suddenly, Charlie and his father heard a huge explosion and saw a bright flame. At the same time, numerous other citizens in town were also watching the object, and saw it crash into a local windmill and explode. The craft was destroyed and the sole occupant was killed. The townspeople gathered and witnessed the wreckage of the weird craft and the body of the airship pilot. The apparent alien was given a proper burial at the local cemetery. While this story may sound unusual, it is actually the world’s first known UFO crash. At the time, the United States was in the middle of a wave of sightings involving hundreds of these mysterious craft. The Aurora UFO crash, however, is the only known case of a crashed airship.

It may seem surprising that something so advanced as an interplanetary vehicle could crash. However, if UFOs are truly physical spacecraft from other planets, then it should also be possible that they might malfunction or even crash. While UFOs appear to be technologically superior to our own aircraft, apparently sometimes things go wrong. Reports of UFO crashes are extremely rare, but investigators have currently gathered more than 50 separate cases. Unfortunately, i 1 j

A few cases have risen above the rest in credibility, however. In these cases, there seems to be little doubt that something crashed and was allegedly recovered by secret military forces. The question is: What was it?

This much is fact: On July 4, 1947, something fell to the earth and crashed on a remote ranch outside of Roswell, New Mexico. It was quickly recovered by the United States Army Air Force and shipped off to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio. Events actually began earlier that week when radar operators in Roswell detected strange images darting at high speeds across their radarscopes. Then on July 4, a severe thunderstorm struck Roswell. The next day, rancher Mac Brazel found a large amount of “strange debris” on his ranch. At the same time, a group of archaeologists stumbled upon a metallic disk that had crashed into the hillside. It was cracked open and four or five gray-type E.T.s were lying inside and outside the craft, with two apparently still alive. The military converged upon the scene and quickly carted everything away.

The next day, the military released a statement to the press saying that they had recovered a “flying disk.” This incredible announcement shocked the world. The following day, however, the military released another statement: They had made a mistake. It wasn’t a crashed UFO; it was only a “weather balloon.
