This article was originally written for a paranormal magazine called The Paranormal Journal, it became known as The Underground Files covering ghosts, ufos, cryptozoology, and government conspiracies amongst others. I no longer write for the magazine and it is no longer in existence.
The Aztec
Crash
A year later than
Roswell, 1947, a flying saucer reported crashing, as many as twelve survivors
found it is alleged. The incident is known as the Aztec Crash, 1948.
The remote Four Corners
region of New Mexico, the extreme North West, as late as 1998, a community
celebrated the event, the 50th anniversary of the Crash at Aztec.
Three separate radar
tracking stations reportedly followed the craft before it fell from the New
Mexico sky, theorists claim that the Roswell and San Augustin crashes prompted
US Military to be alerted to suspected UFO activity, covertly beginning an
operation of intentional flight disruption over New Mexico air space.
This theory was first
presented in the book, Behind The Flying Saucers, written by Frank Scully,
published in 1952.
He inspired the legend that
the US Military may had removed up to twelve living creatures from the crash
site.
During the ceremonies of
1998, Aztec City officials stated the crash site is marked by a single slab of
cement somewhere in the desert terrain. Just as in Roswell, extraction teams
were dispatched to the site, clearing away not only survivors and bodies but all
debris. The bodies were taken to Wright Patterson Air Force Base, the surviving
aliens, reportedly, later taken to the Los Alamos National
Laboratory.
