Aztec: The Most Controversial "Crashed UFO" Of All? - Mysterious Universe

Nick Redfern leads off a look into UFO history with a noteworthy--though not often noted--part of the Silas Newton/Aztec UFO crash story. Newton claimed that two people from "a highly secret U.S. Government entity," according to the late researcher Karl Pflock, visited the con artist and told him to keep up his tale of a March 1948 UFO crash at Aztec, New Mexico. Nick uses this as entree to tell about his personal interactions with Karl. On the other end of crash story popularity, but also of considerable interest, is Josep Guijarro's Spain: UFO Crash in La Grana (Galicia). This tells of an April 2, 1966, UFO splash of an object that was handed over by local fishermen to the Spanish Navy, and eventually to the U.S. military. In Return of the Flying Saucers: Re-evaluating the Kenneth Arnold UFO Sighting, Martin Shough studies Kenneth Arnold's shape description of the nine objects he perceived coursing near Mt. Rainier on June 24, 1947. Shough concludes that Arnold as a primary source/reporting instrument was "so far as we can tell, in fairly good working order." And Kevin Randle's Ed Ruppelt and Thomas Mantell, like an earlier dissection of Major Donald Keyhoe's "take" on the January 7, 1948 fatal pursuit of a UFO, uses information former Project Blue Book Edward Ruppelt lacked when he analyzed the iconic case.
