The Aurora Texas UFO Crash
It was in 1897 the time of the “great airships” that were being reported around the US it was April 19th In the Texas town of Aurora when a mysterious space craft crashed into a window bursting into pieces. During the debris search a body of a small alien was found the alien was labelled at first the “Martian Pilot” some of the debris also revealed a material sketched with a type of hieroglyphic. The town gave the strange creature a proper burial at the local cemetery. The amount of public interest in this case has allowed it to stay in the spot light for over 100 years the case was even made into a movie called “The Aurora Encounter” in 1986 which starred Jack Elam. The news of the crash was spread around very quickly even for that period in time. A newspaper article of the event still exsists and was written by E. E. Haydon reporter for the Dallas Morning News.
The article read –
About 6 o'clock this morning the early risers of Aurora were astonished at the sudden appearance of the airship which has been sailing around the country. It was traveling due north and much nearer the earth than before. Evidently some of the machinery was out of order, for it was making a speed of only ten or twelve miles an hour, and gradually settling toward the earth. It sailed over the public square and when it reached the north part of town it collided with the tower of Judge Proctor's windmill and went into pieces with a terrific explosion, scattering debris over several acres of ground, wrecking the windmill and water tank and destroying the judge's flower garden. The pilot of the ship is supposed to have been the only one aboard and, while his remains were badly disfigured, enough of the original has been picked up to show that he was not an inhabitant of this world.
Here is a picture of the original Newspaper -
"Aurora, Tex. -- (UPI) -- A grave in a small north Texas cemetery contains the body of an 1897 astronaut who was 'not an inhabitant of this world,' according to the International UFO Bureau. The group, which investigates unidentified flying objects, has already initiated legal proceedings to exhume the body and will go to court if necessary to open the grave, director Hayden Hewes said Wednesday."
"After checking the grave with metal detectors and gathering facts for three months, we are certain as we can be at this point [that] he was the pilot of a UFO which reportedly exploded atop a well on Judge J.S. Proctor's place, April 19, 1897," Hewes said." "He was not an inhabitant of this world."
A couple of days after this they located a living witness who was ninety-one-years-old who had been a girl of fifteen at the time she was quoted as saying "I had all but forgotten the incident until it appeared in the newspapers recently." She said her parents had actually been to the crash sight, but had not allowed her to accompany them for fear of what might be in the debris. She recalled that the remains of the pilot, "a small man," had been buried in the Aurora cemetery, validating the other legends.
From the city of Denton, Texas came this account: "A North Texas State University professor had found some metal fragments near the Oates gas station (former Proctor farm). One fragment was said to be 'most intriguing' because it consisted primarily of iron which did not seem to exhibit magnetic properties." The professor also said he was puzzled because the fragment was "shiny and malleable instead of dull and brittle like iron."
For unknown reasons the Aurora Cemetery association fought attempts to exhume the alien body they were successful and the dead aliens remains stayed a mystery. The town of Aurora still shows traces of military intervention today and the questions that has to be asked is why would the US be in the town of Aurora? Could the military have the body of our dead ET visitor?
Is the alien still under the ground or has the military already dug it up?
Questions that may never be answered….
