On the morning of April 17, 1897, residents claimed a cigar-shaped UAP was seen flying slowly over the town. It reportedly collided with a windmill on Judge J.S. Proctor’s property, causing a loud explosion. The crash scattered debris across several acres, wrecked the windmill and a water tank, and damaged the judge’s flower garden. According to a local newspaper report in the Dallas Morning News, townspeople found the badly damaged body of the craft’s pilot in the wreckage. They described the being as “not an inhabitant of this world”. The pilot was given a Christian burial in the Aurora Cemetery. So I’m curious if we know what the occupants look like. Were they “The Grey” alien looking beings we all know or were they something else we’ve never heard of? I’m also curious to know if this was the UFO crash that David Grusch hinted at that was before the Magenta Italy 1933 crash. He just couldn’t say the name of it. submitted by /u/GetServed17 [link] [comments]
