Secret UFO ‘crash’ 6 years after Roswell still under investigation

The 1947 UFO incident that rocked a small city in New Mexico and shocked the world was followed by a less famous but perhaps even more damning event six years later – with recently-leaked government texts appearing to shed new light on the night in question.

The information reveal appears to validate a longstanding urban legend in the city of Kingman, Arizona, a Route 66 pitstop one state to the west, where locals have spent nearly three-quarters of a century retelling the story of a 1953 crash.

Multiple onlookers reportedly saw at least one UFO go down on May 21, just outside the small Mojave Desert city, located 100 miles from Las Vegas.

“It’s very rare to have multiple witnesses, multiple sources of information, confirming an incident like this,” Preston Dennett, author of “UFOs Over Arizona: A True History of Extraterrestrial Encounters in the Grand Canyon State,” recently told local channel 12News.

In a previous interview with AZ Central, Dennett called the occurrence “One of the best-verified UFO crashes in the United States.”

A local institution, the Mohave Museum of History and Arts even boasts an exhibit on the crash, which locals – and more recently podcasters – have been trying to get to the bottom of for years.

Harry Drew is one of those locals – the area historian created a documentary on the extraterrestrial mystery a number of years back.

Although much of the researcher’s theory has been debated in the UFO world – he also believes experimental radar brought the crafts down – Dennett corroborates a military response of 40 officials to one of the sites.

In the many years to follow, Dennett has traced the incident through old reports and government documents.

20 years later Stansel signed an affidavit confirming his presence at the mystery site.

Dennett claims the government took the craft into secret custody, according to information of a claim revealed 50 years after the fact.

“We also know that a still highly classified memo by a Secretary of the is still in effect to maintain the cover on UAPs.”.
