UFO Crashes FAQ Version .80
UFOs would seemingly be the perfect flying machine - they travel at amazing
speeds, they perform astounding manuevers with no apparent side effect, and
fly through the air with the greatest of ease. Or do they? The history of
UFOlogy is littered with reports of UFOs crashing into both ground and sea.
Q. What is the first reported UFO crash?
A. The first reported UFO crash of the modern era, was at Roswell, New
Mexico, in 1947. After a thunderstorm, a rancher named Mac Brazel found
strange debris on his ranch. Brazel then contacted the local sheriff, who in turn
contacted the local Army Air Force base, who dispatched an investigator to
look at the wreckage. The material found could reportedly not be damaged
through physical force, be burned, or stay folded. The investigator, Major Jesse
Marcel, then returned to the base with some of the material. A press release
was then issued saying that a flying disc had been recovered. This was retracted
the next day.
There have been recent reports that there was another crash, a few days earlier
than this, in nearby Socorro, New Mexico, complete with dead alien beings.
Some also connect the Maury Island incident,
The first story of a UFO crash came in a book by Frank Scully, Behind the
Flying Saucers, but was later shown to be a hoax. The story may have been
based on the Roswell crash, although that's pure speculation.
Q. If this material was so tough, why did the UFO break apart on impact?
A. Good question. Cheap welding, maybe? Really hard ground? Truthfully, this
is a question that needs to be answered.
Q. Can you tell me more about this Maury Island incident?
A. Sure. 2 witnesses claimed they saw 6 UFO over Puget Sound, in
Washington. One of these UFOs sputtered (figuratively speaking), and ejected
a piece of slag, which fell and killed a dog owned by one of the witnesses. This
slag was recovered , and given to 2 intelligence officers from the military that
investigator Kenneth Arnold called in (Long story). The plane carrying the
officers, and the slag, crashed killing the two men, and the slag was lost. This
case also produced the first mention / appearance of the Men in Black. (See
Current Phenomenon or UFO History FAQ). Many people regard this case a
hoax, though.
Q. Okay, how about the first UFO crash earlier than the modern era?
A. Well, during the Great Airships Flap of 1896-1897, there was a story about
an airship crashing in Aurora , Texas. The story went that the airship crashed ,
and the lone occupant was killed in it, and was later buried in a local
cememtary. This however, turned out to be a hoax, which did not stop some
UFOlogists from digging up the cemetary.
Q. I saw this show on Fox, about the autopsy of an alien, and they also showed
some debris from a UFO. What crash is this from?
A. The alien body shown in the footage, and the debris, is supposed to be from
the UFO crash at Socorro in New Mexico, that happened just a bit earlier than
the one at Roswell, NM.
Q. How about some other UFO crashes?
A. Well, there are a lot of rumors, but few seem to be real on closer inspection.
Q. What is a good book to read on this subject?
A. Probably the best ever, would be A History of UFO Crashes by Kevin
Randle
