Although the Roswell Incident is perhaps the most famous of the UFO crashes in New Mexico, there are many others, one of which took place in 1948 in Aztec, New Mexico. At this crash site, 16 humanoid bodies were supposedly recovered, along with their undamaged craft. According to reports, the spacecraft was approximately 100 feet in diameter and its exterior (which looked like aluminum) was impervious to heat and any type of drilling (including diamond-tipped drills).
Gaining access through a porthole, witnesses claim to have found 16 small humanoids that ranged in height from 36 to 42 inches. All were dead. Evidently, the craft and the bodies were transported to Wright Patterson Air Force Base, where some of the bodies were dissected.
Apparently, the alien beings were reddish and had facial features that resembled “mongoloid Orientals.” A report, supposedly titled “Air Force Project Sign (Grudge) Report No. 13” (which has never been released), claims that the aliens had disproportionately large heads, large and slanted eyes, and small noses and mouths. Average weight was approximately 40 pounds, with their torsos very small and thin. Fingers had webbing between them, and the bodies had no apparent reproductive organs. Instead of blood, investigators found a colorless liquid that smelled much like ozone.
This crash really came to light when author Frank Scully released his book Behind the Flying Saucers, which documented this alleged UFO crash. Many modern UFO investigators believe this crash to be a work of fiction meant to capitalize on the Roswell Incident, but others believe otherwise. Subsequent new information came from William Steinman during the late 1980s, but his information has also never been verified. Thus, the exact nature of this crash—if it ever happened at all—remains a mystery.
Located in San Juan County, Aztec is part of the Farmington Metropolitan Statistical Area. The Aztec Ruins National Monument is just one of the attractions in Aztec. Aztec was named in honor of the Aztec ruins, a center of ancestral Pueblo (Native American) society that once housed more than 500 masonry rooms.
