Aztec, New Mexico Crashed Saucer Hoax
The Aztec crashed saucer hoax (sometimes known as the "other Roswell") was a flying saucer crash alleged to have happened in 1948 in Aztec, New Mexico. The story was first published in 1949 by journalist Frank Scully in his ''Variety'' magazine columns, and later in his 1950 book ''Behind the Flying Saucers''. In the mid-1950s, the story was exposed as a hoax fabricated by two con men, Silas M. Newton and Leo A. Gebauer, as part of a fraudulent scheme to sell supposed alien technology. Beginning in the 1970s, some ufologists resurrected the story in books claiming the purported crash was real. In 2013, an FBI memo claimed by some ufologists to substantiate the crash story was dismissed by the bureau as "a second- or third-hand claim that we never investigated". Story According to Scully, in March 1948, an unidentified aerial craft containing sixteen humanoid bodies was recovered by the military in New Mexico after making a controlled landing in Hart Canyon 12 miles northeast of ...

Roswell UFO Incident
The Roswell Incident started in 1947 with the recovery of debris near Roswell, New Mexico. It later became the basis for conspiracy theories alleging that the United States military recovered a crashed extraterrestrial spacecraft. The debris was a military balloon operated from the nearby Alamogordo Army Air Field and part of the top secret Project Mogul, the balloon program was intended to detect Soviet nuclear tests. After metallic and rubber debris was recovered by Roswell Army Air Field personnel, the United States Army announced their possession of a "flying saucer, flying disc". This announcement made international headlines, but was retracted within a day. To obscure the purpose and source of the debris, the army reported that it was a conventional weather balloon. In 1978, retired Air Force officer Jesse Marcel revealed that the army's weather balloon claim had been a cover story, and speculated that the debris was of extraterrestrial origin. Popularized by the 1980 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Robert Spencer Carr
Robert Spencer Carr (March 26, 1909 – April 28, 1994) was an American writer of science fiction and fantasy. He sold his first story to ''Weird Tales'' at age 15. At age 17 his novel, ''The Rampant Age'', became a success resulting in a movie contract. Alien autopsy claims In January 1974, papers relayed a story attributed to Carr that two flying saucers were being stored in "Hangar 18" at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. By October, press reported that Carr had also believed in the Aztec, New Mexico UFO hoax which alleged that 12 alien bodies, "three to four feet tall; white skinned; light haired; blue eyed", had been recovered and autopsied. After Carr publicly claimed Sen. Barry Goldwater had demanded and been denied access, Goldwater reportedly told press of an incident where he had denied access to a military facility, but knew nothing about "12 little men". A Wright-Patterson spokesperson denied the claim, adding that there was no "Hangar 18" on the base. Th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Once on the ground, Norwood is informed that the radar tracking his jet picked up no other aircraft n ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Twin Falls Saucer Hoax
The Twin Falls saucer hoax was a hoaxed flying disc discovered in Twin Falls, Idaho, United States, on July 11, 1947. Amid a nationwide wave of alleged "flying disc" sightings, residents of Twin Falls reported recovering a "disc". FBI and Army officials took possession of the disc and quickly proclaimed the object to be a hoax. Press reported that local teenagers admitted to perpetrating the hoax.
