UFO Crash at Aztec (Full Text)/INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

The rumors and stories pertaining to the United States Military's recovery of a flying saucer that crash-landed east of the small town of Aztec, New Mexico, on 25 March 1948, have continued to be a very controversial subject among the various memberies of the UFO conmun- ity for the past 37 years.

The story was first documented publicly in a few magazine articles by Frank Scully in late 1949, culminating in a full-length book en- titled BEHIND THE FLYING SAUCERS, published in September of 1950. His story, originating fron a genuine security leak, through same very talkative and controversial characters, caused quite a stir amongst. the various branches within the Intelligence Community.

This story has been attacked time and again, from its very beginning right up until the present time. These attacks were originally insti- gated by members of the intelligence comunity and were carried out by young and energetic reporters and/or investigators operating under the influence of a carefully planned and controlled program of disinfor- mation. The attacks on the story culminated in its being labeled a hoax both within and without the ufological commmnity. Nobody wanted to be associated with the story at all, in fear of being labeled as a "mt".

The town of Aztec itself, was placed under very tight intelligence Surveillance control. Those who did witness the incident were told in such an emphatic way that what they had seen was a National Security matter, and it was their patriotic duty to keep it to themselves, that they were afraid to speak out for many years.

But, regardless, the numors and the stories persisted. Scully him self backed the story right until his untimely death in 1964... His widow still maintains that the story is true; she has seen evidence to back it up. A few faithful ufologists have never doubted the truth, often based upon their own individual findings of somewhat "solid evidence".

This subject has remained the most closely kept secret of the United States goverrment — so secret in fact, that it is carefully guarded by a super-secret group within a super-secret security agency, "in the interest of National Security and for the general public's awn good".

In 1977 the ufological commmnity once again renewed its interest in the crashed-recovered flying saucer stories, due mostly to the surfac— ing of some surprising information. They were now ready to accept that there were some recovered saucers; but they continued to reject the Aztec case, due to the excellent smokescreen of disinformation spread by counterintelligence agencies.

The author began his investigations into the Aztec recovery as a

sceptic, in Jamary of 1981. But as the evidence began to pile up, he was forced, contrary to his inclinations, to accept the fact that a flying saucer was indeed recovered east of Aztec, New Mexico, in March of 1948. A case such as this has to be solved through an ac- cumiation of evidence, mostly circumstantial in nature due to the fact that the hardware and the bodies are not available (below that super-secret level) as hard or direct evidence for examination.

THE EVIDENCE HANDBOOK states: "Proof of a significant set of circumstances often produces belief beyond a reasonable doubt... even in the absence of direct proof of the ultimate fact." - "Actally, circunstantial evidence, contrary to public belief, is capable of pro- ducing at least as high a degree of certainty as that arising from direct proof." And again, "In such cases, all facts tending to throw light upon the matter and which tend to establish a chain of circur- stantial evidence in respect to the act charged, are admissible, The only requirerent is that they afford the basis of a logical inference Telative to the issue and supply a ‘link in the chain'." Bnd believe me, all of the individual pieces of evidence presented in this Report are logical and relative links in a chain of ciramstantial evidence clearly pointing to the fact that a flying saucer was in fact recov- ered east of Aztec, New Mexico.

Sonow, after 37 years of very tight intelligence control, the truth pertaining to the Aztec, New Mexico, flying saucer recovery of March 1948 has finally been brought out into the open and is exposed to the public for what it was and now is. A flying saucer did indeed crash- land, occupied by a crew of 16 Iuman-like beings, twelve miles east of Aztec on 25 March 1948. This craft, of unknown origin, was recov- ered by a team composed of military intelligence and scientific per- sonnel, and was subsequently dismantled and secretly carted off to a covert hiding place.

The overall purpose of this book is to persuade the United States Gverment to end this unnecessary above-top-secret policy towards "nuts and bolts" recovered from flying saucers along with their human- oid occupants; persuade them to admit that they do actually have this hardware and these bodies harbored away in various military and sci- entific installations; and to persuade them to tum these artifacts over to the whole scientific community for proper analysis /application of knowledge obtained in our own technologies. This might well be the answer to the world's economic and energy needs, and would eventually boost our technological advancement head over heels beyond our wildest

Now you can proceed to read through this investigation report con- ceming the Aztec flying saucer recovery operation, in light of this new and amazingly revealing evidence in the form of photographs, on-

site interviews, eye-witness accounts, and declassified intelligence department. documentation.

The story itself, and the uncovering investigations are filled with mystery and intrigue, suspense, and excitement that will hold one spellbound and captivated to the extent, that he will not want to put this volume down until it is finished.

So, as my quest, enter the bizarre world of the behind the scenes reality of the existence of government recovered flying saucers.
