00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:04,000
Hello and welcome to the 
program. 

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:05,500
You have a warning and this have
what's up. 

3
00:00:05,500 --> 00:00:09,500
We're looking at the 1897 
Aurora, Texas, UFO crash, that's

4
00:00:09,500 --> 00:00:13,200
correct. 
The 1897 Aurora, Texas, UFO 

5
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,700
crash and we've covered this 
before in the podcast, but this 

6
00:00:16,700 --> 00:00:19,500
is such a fun and fascinating 
case to look at. 

7
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:23,200
I found this article on, think 
about it docks.com and I thought

8
00:00:23,200 --> 00:00:25,600
it was pretty well done. 
I wanted to just go over it a 

9
00:00:25,600 --> 00:00:28,200
little bit at the top of the 
article, they got some pictures 

10
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:31,400
here and the headline. 
This newspaper says, discovery 

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:35,700
of evidence surrounding 1897 
UFO, crash baffles scientist. 

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:38,700
Of course, we know the crash 
happened in 1897, they were 

13
00:00:38,700 --> 00:00:42,300
eyewitnesses and then it was one
of those cases where there was 

14
00:00:42,300 --> 00:00:46,200
actual debris found from the UFO
reportedly. 

15
00:00:46,500 --> 00:00:48,800
Not only that, but there was a 
dead alien on board. 

16
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:52,200
This craft, that was also buried
in the local Cemetery were told 

17
00:00:52,500 --> 00:00:55,300
that things got all kinds of 
twists and turns but we'll just 

18
00:00:55,300 --> 00:00:58,700
take a look at this report right
here and it says, think about it

19
00:00:58,700 --> 00:01:02,800
crash report. 
The crash happened, April 19th, 

20
00:01:02,800 --> 00:01:06,500
1897 at 6:00 in the morning near
or Texas. 

21
00:01:06,500 --> 00:01:09,100
This is a rural area and then it
goes on here. 

22
00:01:09,100 --> 00:01:12,900
It says, for the summary from 
the Dallas Morning News quote at

23
00:01:12,900 --> 00:01:16,600
about 6:00 this morning, the 
early risers were astonished at 

24
00:01:16,600 --> 00:01:20,000
the sudden appearance of the 
Airship which has been sailing 

25
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:22,300
around the country. 
So that tells you there's been 

26
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:25,300
multiple reports of this UFO 
sighted around the country and 

27
00:01:25,300 --> 00:01:28,100
this is part of those Airship. 
Sightings that happened in the 

28
00:01:28,100 --> 00:01:31,100
very late 1800s. 
It says It was traveling due 

29
00:01:31,100 --> 00:01:33,400
north and much near the Earth 
than before. 

30
00:01:33,700 --> 00:01:36,800
Evidently some kind of the 
Machinery was out of order for 

31
00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:41,300
it was making a speed of only 10
or 12 miles an hour and 

32
00:01:41,300 --> 00:01:45,000
gradually settling toward the 
Earth itself all over the Public

33
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,700
Square and when it reached the 
north part of town, it collided 

34
00:01:48,700 --> 00:01:51,900
with the Tower of Judge Parker's
Windmill and went into pieces 

35
00:01:52,200 --> 00:01:56,000
with a terrific explosion, 
scattering debris, over several 

36
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Acres of ground wrecking, The 
Windmill and water tank and 

37
00:02:00,100 --> 00:02:03,900
Drawing the judges flower 
garden, the pilot of the ship is

38
00:02:03,900 --> 00:02:06,300
supposed to have been the only 
one on board. 

39
00:02:06,700 --> 00:02:09,699
While his remains were badly 
disfigured enough of the 

40
00:02:09,699 --> 00:02:12,600
original has been picked up to 
show that he was not an 

41
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:17,600
inhabitant of this world. 
Well, that's a mouthful you know

42
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:20,800
you would think in this is 
prominent judge local judge. 

43
00:02:20,900 --> 00:02:23,300
If this was just a bunch of bunk
that he would have come forward 

44
00:02:23,300 --> 00:02:26,300
to said, no, this is not true. 
This is not what happened, but 

45
00:02:26,300 --> 00:02:30,000
it's odd this thing, hit his 
Windmill and it attracted enough

46
00:02:30,000 --> 00:02:34,800
of a crowd that people showed up
and discovered, this dead alien 

47
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:38,200
who apparently had been killed 
in the crash of this vehicle and

48
00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:41,000
says mr. 
TJ Weems the u.s. 

49
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:45,100
Army signal service officer at 
this place and in the Authority 

50
00:02:45,100 --> 00:02:47,600
on astronomy. 
Gives it as his opinion. 

51
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,700
That the pilot was a native of 
the planet. 

52
00:02:49,700 --> 00:02:53,800
Mars papers found on this person
papers found on his person. 

53
00:02:53,800 --> 00:02:56,900
Evidently their records of his 
travels are written in some 

54
00:02:57,000 --> 00:03:00,100
unknown, hieroglyphics and 
cannot be deciphered. 

55
00:03:00,300 --> 00:03:01,800
Here we go. 
Out the hieroglyphics again. 

56
00:03:02,300 --> 00:03:05,500
This ship was too badly wrecked 
to form any conclusion as to its

57
00:03:05,500 --> 00:03:09,200
construction or motive of power.
It was built of an unknown 

58
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:12,600
metal, resembling somewhat, a 
mixture of aluminum and silver. 

59
00:03:12,800 --> 00:03:17,400
It must have weighed several The
town is today full people who 

60
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,300
are viewing the wreckage and 
Gathering. 

61
00:03:19,300 --> 00:03:21,800
Specimens of strange metal from 
the debris. 

62
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:26,800
The pilots funeral will take 
place tomorrow and that's that 

63
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:30,000
is Reap is a reprint from the 
UPI in 1973. 

64
00:03:30,300 --> 00:03:33,100
Now, it says goes on. 
And says, quote, a grave and is

00:03:33,100 --> 00:03:34,700
small North Aurora. 
Texas. 

66
00:03:34,700 --> 00:03:40,000
Cemetery contains a body of an 
1897 astronaut who was not an 

67
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:42,800
inhabitant of this world. 
According to the international 

68
00:03:42,800 --> 00:03:46,500
UFO, Bureau the group, which 
Which investigates unidentified 

69
00:03:46,500 --> 00:03:50,200
flying objects as already 
initiated legal proceedings, to 

70
00:03:50,200 --> 00:03:52,400
exhume the body. 
Of course, we find out later 

71
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:54,100
that, that they were not allowed
to do that. 

72
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:57,100
After checking the grave with 
metal detectors and Gathering 

73
00:03:57,100 --> 00:04:01,000
facts for three months, we are 
certain we are certain as we can

74
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,000
be at this time that he was a 
pilot of a UFO which reportedly 

75
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,700
exploded the top of well on 
Judge JS. 

76
00:04:07,700 --> 00:04:10,100
Part displace. 
April 19th 1897. 

77
00:04:10,100 --> 00:04:12,400
You said he was not an 
inhabited. 

78
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,800
This world a few days later. 
Other UPI count Dateline, Aurora

79
00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:22,300
recorded a 91 year old who had 
been a girl for who had been a 

80
00:04:22,300 --> 00:04:25,400
girl of 15 in a row at the time 
of the reported incident. 

81
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:28,900
She said she had all, but 
forgotten the incident until it 

82
00:04:28,908 --> 00:04:30,600
appeared in the newspapers 
recently. 

83
00:04:30,900 --> 00:04:34,000
She said, her parents had gone 
to the site of the crash, but 

84
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:37,400
had refused to take her along. 
She recalled that the remains of

85
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:41,200
the pile of small man had been 
buried in the Aurora Cemetery, 

86
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,500
not to be outdone the Associated
Press, and a story. 

87
00:04:44,600 --> 00:04:48,600
Dateline Denton, Texas reported 
a Northstate, text University, 

88
00:04:48,600 --> 00:04:52,600
Texas University Professor who 
had found some metal fragments 

89
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,900
near the oats gas station, the 
former partner Farm. 

90
00:04:56,400 --> 00:04:59,700
One of the fragments was said to
be most intriguing because it 

91
00:04:59,700 --> 00:05:04,200
consisted of primarily of iron 
which do not seem to exhibit 

92
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:07,700
magnetic properties. 
The professor also said he was 

93
00:05:07,700 --> 00:05:11,800
puzzled because a fragment was 
shiny and malleable instead of 

94
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:14,500
dull and brittle like iron the 
Aurora Cemetery Association. 

95
00:05:14,700 --> 00:05:18,400
Association was successful in 
blocking the attempts to dig up 

96
00:05:18,400 --> 00:05:21,700
the grounds in search of the 
quote-unquote Martian. 

97
00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:26,900
Pilot look, doesn't sound like 
metal to me, but that we know of

98
00:05:26,900 --> 00:05:29,000
this is unlike iron. 
That would have been rusted away

99
00:05:29,000 --> 00:05:30,800
after 100 years. 
Secondly, a lot of people have 

100
00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,400
said, well, this could have been
some unknown person in airship. 

101
00:05:36,900 --> 00:05:39,400
That's that's just doesn't make 
any sense. 

102
00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,000
If you do any research at all, 
find out how much work went into

103
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:46,500
building. 
One of these, you know, giant 

104
00:05:46,500 --> 00:05:49,800
blimps that they're almost the 
same thing that was being flown 

105
00:05:49,800 --> 00:05:54,200
in World War. 1 say a tremendous
amount of resources they took. 

106
00:05:54,300 --> 00:05:57,400
I didn't it was it was in the 
dozens of cows, as I remember 

107
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:01,000
that they had to go in and the 
used Cal stomach or cow bladder 

108
00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,900
to create the surface of these 
things. 

109
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,800
So this is 18 now. 87, imagine 
the amount of Natural Resources,

110
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:09,700
it would even take to build an 
Airship. 

111
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,500
And then, is he feeling it? 
Filling it with helium hydrogen.

112
00:06:14,500 --> 00:06:16,800
Is it hot air? 
I mean, how is this a one-man 

113
00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:18,900
operation? 
This is not something that 

114
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:20,700
somebody could just do as a 
hobbyist. 

115
00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:25,700
Clearly, this was an 
unidentified flying object. 

116
00:06:25,700 --> 00:06:28,900
Now it goes on here, says as far
as the forward Port goes, Texas 

117
00:06:28,900 --> 00:06:32,200
Roswell. 
Well, the most famous UFO crash 

118
00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:35,400
story of all time, might be one.
Describing, the Roz might be 

119
00:06:35,400 --> 00:06:36,800
describing the Roswell New 
Mexico. 

120
00:06:36,800 --> 00:06:41,400
I said it is not the first on 
April 17, 1897 a mysterious 

121
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,600
Airship would promote the town 
of Aurora, Texas to Legendary 

122
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,800
UFOs at Roswell Fame. 
It was not the first time that 

123
00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,500
the Texas Airship had reportedly
been seen. 

124
00:06:51,700 --> 00:06:54,700
Nor was it, the last, the 
significance of the Aurora 

125
00:06:54,700 --> 00:06:58,300
encounter is that there was an 
alien body left to be studied, 

126
00:06:58,500 --> 00:07:01,900
along with hydrogen. 
Reported sightings of the same 

127
00:07:01,900 --> 00:07:04,300
description across the central 
United States. 

128
00:07:04,300 --> 00:07:07,300
At that time. 
The Dallas Morning News, carry 

129
00:07:07,300 --> 00:07:10,000
the story, but his current 
expectations would have at the 

130
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:13,600
story was not a headline, nor 
was it even on page one. 

131
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:17,100
So if they were trying to sell 
papers with this thing, why 

132
00:07:17,100 --> 00:07:18,900
wouldn't it have been on the 
front page? 

133
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,900
This toy was on page, five 
listed among more than 12 other 

134
00:07:22,900 --> 00:07:26,100
articles, discussing sightings 
of mysterious airships. 

135
00:07:26,500 --> 00:07:29,200
And the two days prior to this 
incident, there were none of the

136
00:07:29,200 --> 00:07:32,600
16 articles describing sightings
by reputable people, and the 

137
00:07:32,600 --> 00:07:37,300
area of Central, Texas and late 
November 1896, there were 

138
00:07:37,300 --> 00:07:40,100
thousands of witnesses reporting
a sighting of airships over 

139
00:07:40,100 --> 00:07:43,700
California. 
Some 1,500 miles to the West 

140
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:49,700
between November 1896, and 8 in 
April 1897 many additional 

141
00:07:49,700 --> 00:07:51,200
Airship. 
Sightings were documented in 

142
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:54,500
several States from California 
to Michigan between April and 

143
00:07:54,500 --> 00:07:58,100
May of 1897 an Airship. 
Sightings continued and more 

144
00:07:58,100 --> 00:08:02,100
than 30 Texas counties reported 
by By hundreds of real Texans 

145
00:08:02,100 --> 00:08:05,400
with the most common element 
being that it was cigar-shaped 

146
00:08:05,700 --> 00:08:09,000
and could do things that today's
airships can barely do. 

147
00:08:10,100 --> 00:08:14,500
What they saw may never be 
determined, but did they see 

148
00:08:14,500 --> 00:08:16,600
something of an extraterrestrial
origin fly? 

149
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:20,000
Overhead, we'll look, it's 
simple answer that question, 

150
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,600
just through a process of 
elimination, we had no 

151
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,100
technology that could do that 
1997. 

152
00:08:28,300 --> 00:08:31,800
Now, whatever these people saw 
wasn't something that we could 

153
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,000
just simply explained away as a 
blimp or some type of drinkable 

154
00:08:36,100 --> 00:08:40,500
I mean the technology and the 
resources just weren't available

155
00:08:40,500 --> 00:08:42,600
back. 
Then for there to have been this

156
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:46,600
many sightings just actually 
what it was was a UFO swarm that

157
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:49,600
was going on. 
As far as I'm concerned, these 

158
00:08:49,600 --> 00:08:53,300
things were simply taking on the
appearances of these airships. 

159
00:08:53,700 --> 00:08:58,200
Now, the article goes on and 
says Granted, many UFO, 

160
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,500
sightings and pictures were 
hoaxes. 

161
00:08:59,500 --> 00:09:03,300
But at the turn of the century, 
people had no motive to make up 

162
00:09:03,300 --> 00:09:07,200
a story such as this other than 
simply stating that they were, 

163
00:09:07,300 --> 00:09:09,800
that they saw something and 
wanted to others about it. 

164
00:09:09,800 --> 00:09:14,100
The story was all, but forgotten
until 2005, when Hayden Jesus, 

165
00:09:14,100 --> 00:09:16,600
the founder of the international
UFO Bureau would arrive in 

166
00:09:16,608 --> 00:09:20,500
Aurora to reopen the UFO 
investigation, the Aurora crash 

167
00:09:20,500 --> 00:09:23,600
differs from the Roswell crash 
in that original documentation, 

168
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:26,700
was not tampered with by the 
military nor Were the 

169
00:09:26,700 --> 00:09:30,500
still-living eyewitnesses 
debriefed or told to keep quiet 

170
00:09:30,500 --> 00:09:33,100
by the military. 
Well, why is that? 

171
00:09:33,200 --> 00:09:36,700
Well, the Deep State hadn't been
established yet, this is prior 

172
00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:39,600
to Woodrow Wilson coming in and 
setting up all these alphabet 

173
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:41,500
agencies. 
So people had a lot more 

174
00:09:41,500 --> 00:09:46,000
freedom, they had a lot more. 
A lot less intimidation when 

175
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:48,700
they did report one of these 
things and a lot of ways it was 

176
00:09:48,700 --> 00:09:52,100
a much Freer country. 
It says Hughes found that many 

177
00:09:52,100 --> 00:09:53,700
residents. 
Wanted very little, if anything 

178
00:09:53,700 --> 00:09:56,300
to do with the story of the 
crash but three or more people. 

179
00:09:56,800 --> 00:10:00,200
Who were alive at the time? 
War willing to talk to 

180
00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:04,300
investigators, Robert Robbie 
Hanson, although not a direct 

181
00:10:04,300 --> 00:10:07,200
witness, considered the incident
to be untrue, simply because 

182
00:10:07,200 --> 00:10:10,600
your father left at the story, 
thought it was a hoax to other 

183
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,900
Witnesses, provided first-hand, 
accounts of the sighting 

184
00:10:13,200 --> 00:10:17,300
contradicting, Robbie Hanson 
Mary Evans who was 15 at the 

185
00:10:17,300 --> 00:10:19,300
time, recalled that something 
did crash. 

186
00:10:19,700 --> 00:10:21,900
Her parents went to see the 
crash, but would not let her 

187
00:10:21,900 --> 00:10:25,500
view the scene. 
Charlie Stevens was 10 years old

188
00:10:25,700 --> 00:10:28,200
at the time. 
He says he saw the smoke 

189
00:10:28,200 --> 00:10:32,200
trailing an Airship fly overhead
and disappear near Aurora. 

190
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,000
He heard an explosion and saw 
the smoke plume. 

191
00:10:35,400 --> 00:10:37,200
The young mr. 
Stevens wanted to go and view 

192
00:10:37,200 --> 00:10:40,700
the site but his 
turn-of-the-century father would

193
00:10:40,700 --> 00:10:43,600
not let him because there were 
chores left to complete. 

194
00:10:43,700 --> 00:10:47,300
Well, this is 1897. 
These guys were farmers. 

195
00:10:47,500 --> 00:10:50,000
Your livelihood depended upon 
your animals if you had to milk 

196
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,400
cows, the cows. 
Couldn't just wait three or four

197
00:10:52,400 --> 00:10:53,900
hours. 
The cows had to be milked at a 

198
00:10:53,908 --> 00:10:56,300
specific time. 
The animals need to be fed, they

199
00:10:56,600 --> 00:11:00,000
If they need to be fed at that 
time, it wasn't like they had 

200
00:11:00,000 --> 00:11:05,100
the luxury of flexible schedule 
like we do today, you are bound 

201
00:11:05,100 --> 00:11:08,900
to the land so you can see why, 
hey, we haven't got time to go 

202
00:11:09,100 --> 00:11:11,900
look at some space, some, you 
know, possible UFO crash. 

203
00:11:11,900 --> 00:11:14,600
They weren't even thinking about
that there are thinking about 

204
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:17,800
surviving to another day. 
He says the following day. 

205
00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:20,700
After returning, from town is 
father, told him about all of 

206
00:11:20,708 --> 00:11:24,200
the scattered wreckage. 
He saw at the scene, twist to 

207
00:11:24,200 --> 00:11:27,800
the legend, was added in 1945 
and Rowley, oats move to Aurora,

208
00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:31,400
Texas needing water. 
He had the well that reportedly 

209
00:11:31,400 --> 00:11:34,900
had two pieces of the spaceship 
thrown into it more than 40 

210
00:11:34,900 --> 00:11:37,400
years. 
Earlier, cleaned out under the 

211
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,100
presumption that radiation from 
the will, or the well, water 

212
00:11:40,100 --> 00:11:43,900
caused him to develop severe 
arthritis, conditions is 

213
00:11:43,900 --> 00:11:46,000
Left-Handed. 
And after more than 12 years of 

214
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,800
getting drinking water, from the
well, he's sealed it off with a 

215
00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:52,300
6 inch concrete slab. 
It had been suggested that the 

216
00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:55,600
bulk of the debris was hauled 
away to a currently unknown 

217
00:11:55,600 --> 00:11:58,700
location. 
And the remaining smaller items 

218
00:11:58,700 --> 00:12:03,300
were thrown down the well. 
Of course you know they did what

219
00:12:03,500 --> 00:12:06,600
people do in these situations, 
they wanted to clean the craft 

220
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:10,300
up. 
There's no Pentagon to send this

221
00:12:10,300 --> 00:12:12,700
stuff to, I guess. 
Tom DeLonge is not around in 

222
00:12:12,700 --> 00:12:16,100
1897 to sell the craft to. 
So what do you do when you throw

223
00:12:16,100 --> 00:12:18,000
the stuff down? 
A well and abandoned? 

224
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:21,200
Well and that's what they did. 
They just wrapped up all the 

225
00:12:21,200 --> 00:12:24,900
garbage from this UFO site. 
This crash toss it in the well 

226
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,100
buried it That was the end of 
that. 

227
00:12:28,900 --> 00:12:31,400
It says it has been suggested 
the bulk of the debris was 

228
00:12:31,400 --> 00:12:34,100
hauled away to a concurrent to 
currently unknown location. 

229
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,700
And the remaining smaller items 
were thrown down the will and 

230
00:12:36,700 --> 00:12:40,300
1973 is small yet significant 
piece of metallic debris was 

231
00:12:40,300 --> 00:12:43,600
found by an investigator from 
Corpus Christi Texas which is 

232
00:12:43,600 --> 00:12:46,700
unlike anything that could have 
been developed either then. 

233
00:12:46,700 --> 00:12:50,000
Or now the item was tested 
twice, once at a specialized 

234
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:55,000
Aeronautics Aeronautics failure,
analysis lab, which prefers to 

235
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:59,000
remain anonymous and a Second 
time at a analysis, technical 

236
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,400
service laboratory in Houston, 
Texas, both studies, reach the 

237
00:13:02,400 --> 00:13:07,400
same conclusion showing that the
item had been there for a long 

238
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:11,500
time, a long, long time. 
And that it was composed of 95 

239
00:13:11,500 --> 00:13:15,300
percent aluminum and five 
percent iron iron and aluminum, 

240
00:13:15,300 --> 00:13:18,300
do not normally mix that way in 
nature. 

241
00:13:18,500 --> 00:13:21,900
Alas iron, normally contains 
zinc and other materials of 

242
00:13:21,900 --> 00:13:25,500
which there were none. 
In this particular sample, the 

243
00:13:25,500 --> 00:13:28,600
theory is that. 
Upon impact the explosion 

244
00:13:28,600 --> 00:13:32,500
resulted in molten materials 
being flown away from the site. 

245
00:13:32,500 --> 00:13:35,400
The structural analysis of the 
material showed that it was 

246
00:13:35,408 --> 00:13:38,600
molten and that. 
And then air-cooled on the 

247
00:13:38,600 --> 00:13:43,800
ground, this material, which was
found in analyzed in 1973, could

248
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:47,600
not have been made at that time 
on that farm in the town of r or

249
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:51,100
anywhere around there, it would 
have had to been made in a very 

250
00:13:51,100 --> 00:13:55,800
sophisticated laboratory using 
Ultra Pure Refinery techniques, 

251
00:13:55,800 --> 00:14:00,400
which Typically found today a 
second set of samples were sent 

252
00:14:00,400 --> 00:14:03,300
to dr. 
Tom Gray, a professor at Kansas 

253
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:06,300
State University. 
The set included an interesting 

254
00:14:06,300 --> 00:14:10,200
Stone, like article, which was 
identified as a water pump. 

255
00:14:10,200 --> 00:14:15,000
Propeller empower, the other 
items were found to be mostly 

256
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:17,600
compliant. 
Comprised of iron testing on 

257
00:14:17,600 --> 00:14:21,800
this item, resulted in a lack of
magnetic attraction, which 

258
00:14:21,800 --> 00:14:26,400
could, which could seem unusual,
this is not the case. 

259
00:14:26,500 --> 00:14:27,900
Is depending on how there aren't
cool. 

260
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:30,200
It may or may not have magnetic 
properties. 

261
00:14:30,400 --> 00:14:33,600
These items were certainly what 
you might expect to find on a 

262
00:14:33,608 --> 00:14:37,300
farm at that time, period, that 
it goes on and says, alien 

263
00:14:37,300 --> 00:14:40,800
burial site. 
So now we've we confirmed that 

264
00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:44,300
there were Witnesses, who said, 
yes, we saw this UFO crash. 

265
00:14:44,500 --> 00:14:46,000
It looked like some kind of an 
Airship. 

266
00:14:46,000 --> 00:14:49,700
We saw it crash. 
There was talk about the alien, 

267
00:14:49,700 --> 00:14:52,500
the dead alien being found on 
board. 

268
00:14:52,800 --> 00:14:55,700
There was talk about all the 
material that's left over from 

269
00:14:55,700 --> 00:14:59,000
the crash. 
We have confirmation that you 

270
00:14:59,008 --> 00:15:02,500
have us thrown down this, well, 
it was excavated the person that

271
00:15:02,500 --> 00:15:05,800
drink out of the water, their 
hand. 

272
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,800
If you watch the some of the 
documentaries, this guy's hands 

273
00:15:08,800 --> 00:15:10,500
are all authorized. 
They look terrible. 

274
00:15:10,900 --> 00:15:12,800
It looks like there could have 
been some kind of health issues 

275
00:15:12,800 --> 00:15:14,900
because of this. 
They go on to talk about the 

276
00:15:14,900 --> 00:15:18,100
metal, they had tested and 95 
percent aluminum, five percent 

277
00:15:18,100 --> 00:15:20,700
iron, there's no way they could 
have been made anywhere in or 

278
00:15:20,700 --> 00:15:23,600
around Aurora, Texas, back in 
1897, you can hold them, you 

279
00:15:23,600 --> 00:15:27,300
know, it would take a, it would 
take a modern, Facility to do 

280
00:15:27,300 --> 00:15:29,900
this. 
And so we have the crash, we 

281
00:15:29,900 --> 00:15:33,500
have the metamaterial, we have 
witness reports of the alien 

282
00:15:33,500 --> 00:15:36,500
body. 
And now what happened to that 

283
00:15:36,500 --> 00:15:39,400
alien body, it says alien burial
site. 

284
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:43,000
The story includes that the 
spacecraft had a single occupant

285
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,300
who was found dead. 
The town folk had a Christian 

286
00:15:46,300 --> 00:15:47,800
burial for the badly mangled 
body. 

287
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:51,000
And there were Texas Cemetery at
the same time, an 

288
00:15:51,000 --> 00:15:54,400
interesting-looking headstone 
was found, which could have been

289
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:58,000
the marker for the burial site 
using Detectives investigators 

290
00:15:58,100 --> 00:16:00,700
discovered that they got the 
same decibel reading from the 

291
00:16:00,700 --> 00:16:04,400
grave site as they did where 
they found mysterious or a 

292
00:16:04,408 --> 00:16:08,000
fragment, the fact that they 
detected metal in the grave 

293
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:11,400
indicated, that someone must 
have buried the metal fragments 

294
00:16:11,600 --> 00:16:14,400
from the crash site along with 
the body. 

295
00:16:14,900 --> 00:16:18,600
This gives the gravesite more 
importance as it shows a direct 

296
00:16:18,600 --> 00:16:21,300
relationship between the two 
locations. 

297
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,700
A certified letter was sent to 
each member of the cemetery 

298
00:16:24,700 --> 00:16:26,500
Association requesting to exhume
the body. 

299
00:16:26,600 --> 00:16:29,400
By the Association was dead set 
against his from happening. 

300
00:16:29,800 --> 00:16:34,300
And had the Wise County Sheriff 
post deputies at the cemetery to

301
00:16:34,300 --> 00:16:38,600
prevent any excavation from 
happening now, think about that,

302
00:16:38,600 --> 00:16:41,700
think of a cost involved. 
So you've got you've got these 

303
00:16:42,200 --> 00:16:44,400
sheriff's officer setting up 
their full time watching a 

304
00:16:44,400 --> 00:16:47,000
graveyard for crying out loud. 
What was so important to these 

305
00:16:47,000 --> 00:16:49,900
people that they were worried 
about mufon suffered, a crushing

306
00:16:49,900 --> 00:16:53,600
blow to their efforts due to the
two-week delay, the head stone 

307
00:16:53,900 --> 00:16:58,200
had been removed along with the 
Metal that had been previously 

308
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:02,000
detected, this metal detectors 
were no longer able to locate 

309
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:04,300
any metallic debris at the 
burial site. 

310
00:17:04,599 --> 00:17:09,599
According to experts, someone at
managed to drive a 3-inch pipe 

311
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:12,400
into the ground. 
And then removed the metal 

312
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,700
debris from the ground. 
Sounds like somebody know there 

313
00:17:15,700 --> 00:17:18,200
were doing. 
So this is what we see. 

314
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,500
So often is UFO cases. 
Somebody raises questions. 

315
00:17:21,500 --> 00:17:25,700
They try to do an investigation 
and then they are impeded at the

316
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:28,700
local level. 
And by local law enforcement and

317
00:17:28,700 --> 00:17:31,200
it seems like it's for some 
greater reason. 

318
00:17:32,300 --> 00:17:36,400
It says, legendary status like 
1947 Roswell story, The Legend, 

319
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,000
describing the encounter at 
Aurora has grown over the years.

320
00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:43,500
Skeptics challenge, the story in
the investigation seeking to 

321
00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:46,100
disprove the research by 
organizations like move on and 

322
00:17:46,100 --> 00:17:49,000
international UFO. 
Bureau the anti UFO stories 

323
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,500
range from saying it was a hot 
air balloon to the idea that the

324
00:17:51,500 --> 00:17:55,600
story was merely a publicity 
stunt to save a dying town, the 

325
00:17:55,600 --> 00:17:59,100
most prevalent Being the most 
prevalent being the hot air 

326
00:17:59,100 --> 00:18:01,300
balloon Theory, unfortunately 
for the nicer. 

327
00:18:01,500 --> 00:18:03,400
There is no physic there is 
physically. 

328
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,200
No way could have been a 
balloon. 

329
00:18:05,500 --> 00:18:07,900
There are no balloons that can 
rise or fall. 

330
00:18:07,900 --> 00:18:10,200
With lightning speed they can't 
turn right? 

331
00:18:10,200 --> 00:18:13,800
Angles or go to or go vertically
up or down due to the detailed 

332
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:15,900
descriptions of the Airship 
available at the time. 

333
00:18:16,100 --> 00:18:20,400
It is unlikely that it was a 
balloon is that should have been

334
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:24,200
easily recognizable as such by 
any of the multiple viewers that

335
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,500
had seen this particular Airship
all across. 

336
00:18:26,600 --> 00:18:28,600
Ross the state as well as the 
nation. 

337
00:18:29,100 --> 00:18:32,400
The secondary belief is that the
story was concocted by the 

338
00:18:32,400 --> 00:18:34,900
author of the original Dallas 
Morning News article of April 

339
00:18:34,900 --> 00:18:39,300
19th. 1897 SE Hayden had a 
reputation as a great practical 

340
00:18:39,300 --> 00:18:42,200
joker and a hoaxster. 
Jim Marrs an investigative 

341
00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:45,100
journalist reports that he was 
that he has found. 

342
00:18:45,100 --> 00:18:48,900
No hard evidence supporting this
idea nor has he found any 

343
00:18:48,900 --> 00:18:51,000
article written by Mr? 
Hayden, that turned out to be 

344
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:54,800
wrong if Hayden was acting as a 
reporter as opposed to a 

345
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:56,500
huckster. 
Why wouldn't he fold? 

346
00:18:56,700 --> 00:18:59,700
The story with the liner to 
saying that people showed up for

347
00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:02,000
the funeral service Barbara 
brahmer. 

348
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:05,600
The mayor of Aurora, Texas, has 
spent many years researching, 

349
00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:09,500
the town's history and believes,
she may have have an answer to 

350
00:19:09,500 --> 00:19:13,000
the Aurora Legend, according to 
her, the Legends Roots can be 

351
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:17,100
traced to after can be traced to
after several disaster suffered 

352
00:19:17,100 --> 00:19:19,100
by the town. 
And of course she goes on and 

353
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:24,200
says that this theory is that 
the town was in dire need of 

354
00:19:24,600 --> 00:19:28,600
money and they were looking to 
create tourist dollars. 

355
00:19:28,700 --> 00:19:36,000
Come on, it's 1897, you know. 
In the dart achill, it finishes 

356
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,300
up here, it says the once 
thriving community of Aurora, 

357
00:19:39,300 --> 00:19:41,300
Texas, began to downhill track 
at this time, which could be 

358
00:19:41,300 --> 00:19:44,000
reason for creating such a story
in an effort to boost local 

359
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,100
morale and bring some new 
interest in the community. 

360
00:19:46,300 --> 00:19:48,400
You know, I'm sorry, the idea 
that this thing, which is a 

361
00:19:48,400 --> 00:19:52,600
made-up story, just seems like a
stretch to me. 

362
00:19:53,200 --> 00:19:55,800
If it was it certainly didn't 
work. 

363
00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:57,700
What compels me about this 
story? 

364
00:19:57,700 --> 00:20:00,300
My keep coming back to it. 
Is these three Witnesses? 

365
00:20:00,300 --> 00:20:04,400
They found but didn't all agree.
One of them was the debunker But

366
00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:08,500
the other two said, yeah, my 
parents saw something, or I saw 

367
00:20:08,500 --> 00:20:13,900
something that their stories had
the same basic agreement. 

368
00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:17,300
The fact that also, the fact 
that this article was placed on 

369
00:20:17,300 --> 00:20:20,800
page 5 of the newspaper if they 
were trying to create a hoax, or

370
00:20:20,808 --> 00:20:24,700
if they were trying to get the 
story going, as a way to promote

371
00:20:24,700 --> 00:20:28,100
tourism to this little 
out-of-the-way town, you would 

372
00:20:28,100 --> 00:20:32,200
have thought they would have 
paid enough to get the story put

373
00:20:32,200 --> 00:20:34,100
in a paper in such a way that 
people would know. 

374
00:20:34,200 --> 00:20:40,100
Notice it this Aurora, Texas 
Tech checks, a UFO crash and 

375
00:20:40,100 --> 00:20:45,000
1897 to me, has all the 
Hallmarks of a UFO crash people.

376
00:20:45,000 --> 00:20:49,400
See it people reported people 
talk about it and then you have 

377
00:20:49,500 --> 00:20:52,300
the parallel narrative kicks in.
And this case, the personal 

378
00:20:52,300 --> 00:20:54,800
narrative being that will, it 
was a balloon. 

379
00:20:54,800 --> 00:20:58,600
It was some sort of a home-built
bridgeable even though there's 

380
00:20:58,600 --> 00:21:01,100
no way that one person is going 
to have enough resources at 

381
00:21:01,100 --> 00:21:05,200
their disposal to do this, you 
know, in the u.s. even though 

382
00:21:05,200 --> 00:21:08,300
there have been multiple 
multiple sightings of this, very

383
00:21:08,300 --> 00:21:12,200
same type of craft and then you 
got another knit, another 

384
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,300
narrative. 
Well it was just done to promote

385
00:21:14,300 --> 00:21:17,500
tourism it's 1897 how much 
tourism is going on. 

386
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:23,600
When you compare the alternative
narratives to the facts that was

387
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:27,900
reported in the paper and what 
people said happen. 

388
00:21:28,300 --> 00:21:32,000
And you compare that to the 
evidence of this, what appears 

389
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:35,300
to be a discrete Disturbed? 
Grave the to the evidence of the

390
00:21:35,300 --> 00:21:39,100
material being thrown into this 
abandoned. 

391
00:21:39,100 --> 00:21:42,500
Well covered up the wall gets 
cleaned out, the material, gets 

392
00:21:42,500 --> 00:21:45,300
relocated, but the people 
drinking out of the, well, 

393
00:21:45,300 --> 00:21:47,200
becomes sick. 
This guy has such a terrible 

394
00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,400
case author, itís, Arthritis, 
being whatever, and immune 

395
00:21:50,400 --> 00:21:54,400
system issue, all, all the 
things that kind of add up to be

396
00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:58,800
like, yes, this was a UFO. 
This UFO did crash in Aurora, 

397
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,800
Texas, 1997. 
It caused significant damage to 

398
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,600
this, windmill. 
Yes, people did go and see it. 

399
00:22:04,600 --> 00:22:08,000
There was wreckage everywhere. 
Yes, people did bury the alien 

400
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:10,300
and a graveyard. 
Yes, people did throw the 

401
00:22:10,300 --> 00:22:13,600
wreckage into an abandoned. 
Well, yes, later on that. 

402
00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:17,700
Well, was dug back out again. 
The material was moved again. 

403
00:22:17,900 --> 00:22:21,500
And the In that consumed water 
all that well water became quite

404
00:22:21,500 --> 00:22:23,900
sick developed. 
A terrible condition of 

405
00:22:23,900 --> 00:22:26,700
arthritis. 
Yes, people did investigate. 

406
00:22:26,700 --> 00:22:29,300
Yes, people did go to the 
reported graveside of this 

407
00:22:29,300 --> 00:22:33,700
alien. 
Yes, the grave stone for that 

408
00:22:33,700 --> 00:22:36,100
alien disappeared. 
Yes. 

409
00:22:36,100 --> 00:22:40,400
The local authorities there did 
send in law enforcement to guard

410
00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:43,900
that grave site for two weeks 
until the evidence was 

411
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:47,700
Mysteriously gone. 
So yeah. 

412
00:22:47,700 --> 00:22:49,500
Is there a conspiracy? 
Well, it certainly looks that 

413
00:22:49,500 --> 00:22:53,500
way. 
Until next time, this is UFO 

414
00:22:53,500 --> 00:22:54,800
morning over and out.
