Unusual Metal from the Aurora Crash?
Wednesday July 16, 2008
Here is an interesting tidbit on an old case. I'm sure most of you are aware of the alleged UFO crash in the small town of Aurora, Texas, in 1897. There has been much study of the story of a UFO crashing into the town's water tower, and reports of a small, dead alien, which was buried in the local cemetery. Now, according to a new report, there may be long awaited proof that the story indeed was true.
Researchers at the University of North Texas are analyzing debris consisting of "unusual, metallic objects" which allegedly are from the small town of Aurora. Members of the "UFO Hunters" team discovered the metallic objects in the local cemetery there. A program dedicated to the Aurora crash will be aired later this year, and University officials have made an agreement to not release their findings until the show airs. What are the possibilities that these fragments could prove that the case was true, and something "not of this world" crashed in the small Texas town?

If the crash story is real it was most likely the crash of an early man made Dirigible or Blimp. Highly unlikely that is was a extraterrestrial UFO.
Well, according to the reports of the time, the craft moved in ways that would have been impossible for early airships. I think too much time has passed to definitively say one way or the other that this material is definitely from the crash. So much has happened in the last 110 years!!!
Why don’t the stupid hicks let researchers dig up the alien body from its grave if it exists
Why don’t the stupid hicks let researchers dig up the alien body from its grave if it exists, or even just DNA fragments
I agree more could be done in this research, for example most of the metal was chunked down a well, and the guy that owns the property won’t let anyone get it out of the well…there’s also a rumor that the body was moved along with the headstone marking its grave in an effort to get rid of UFO researcher’s coming to their little town…why, God only knows, their old people with old ways, its good to hear their, the History Channel, is still taping new shows for the UFO Hunters, at least that wasn’t killed.
I don’t understand either why they won’t let researchers take a look. Maybe it’s because they don’t want the truth to be known. If parts of an alien craft were buried on your property, wouldn’t you be anxious to find out what it really was? And what about the body? Don’t they want to know at least for themselves? There’s no sense in all these secrets. If there’s proof, I say show us!
it was definitely aliens, man.
who else wud crash a space ship, man ?
I certainly think that this incident bears more investigation, if for no other reason than to find out if the account is real or fictitious.
One big problem with this matter, and which exists with any report this old, is that time has a way of altering the information. Twice-told tales and “I heard somewhere that…” statements can run very wide of the mark. These ultimately can become red herrings that take us away from factual information.
As to why people won’t let researchers dig for evidence, all I can say is that maybe people in the area are just plain tired of dealing with this matter and the various researchers who come to town. Small town folks tend to be more insular and less likely to welcome a lot of commotion over something.
Still, I would like to know just what is down that well, and what the metallurgical analysis shows. I know that there have been analyses in the past of bits of debris associated with UFO encounters, and many times these analyses have shown that the metal was of an alloy not thought possible or known to exist, or that the metal was of a purity which could not be achieved by our technology.
As with all reports associated with UFO’s, I say to approach this with a skeptical but open mind. We can’t apply the Phil “I can explain every one of them” Klass method of investigation, but at the same time we can’t gobble everything we hear hook, line and sinker. By adopting an approach that falls somewhere between the two extremes I think we will find the truth.
I have always read that it hit a windmill not a water tower. There is a big difference. So whitch one is it
