This
week I interviewed Robert Koford who has visited here frequently, commenting on
various aspects of the UFO phenomenon. This discussion was inspired by his
investigation into the Aztec UFO crash claim from March 25, 1948. This story
has
been around publicly much longer than the Roswell case but has far fewer
witnesses and virtually no documentation to substantiate the crash. In fact,
unlike Roswell where everyone agrees that something fell, with Aztec there are many
members of the community who deny that anything happened. You can listen to the
program here:

Bob
bases his interest on a series of documents that suggest that General Carl
Spaatz issued orders about an event on March 25. Although it seems to related
to “flying discs”, one of the names given to the flying saucers, there is
nothing to tie it to Aztec and apparently no one seems to know what triggered Spaatz’s
response. You can see the documents and some of Bob’s arguments at his website
found here:
As
I mentioned on the show, I have addressed the Aztec crash on a number of occasions
on this blog. For those of you interested in reading the background about the
case, you can find it here:
And
for those who would like to hear what Monte Shriver has to say about the crash,
I interviewed him on the radio show/podcast. You can listen to it here:
And
for those who worry about not providing Scott Ramsey with the opportunity to
refute many of these points, I will note that I have invited him on the program
several of times. He had refused all those opportunities. I have no plans to
invite him again.
I
hope that all this provides enough information for those interested in the
Aztec case to make some sort of intelligent decision about the reality of this
crash. Just for the record, I have copies of Steinman’s book UFO Crash at
Aztec, and, of course Ramsey’s book, not to mention a variety of other
magazine articles about it, including Coral Lorenzen’s investigation in the
mid-1970s reported in The APRO Bulletin.
Next
week, I’ll be talking with Michael Hall about his UFO experiences and his UFOiTeam.
If you have questions, send them as a comment here and I’ll get to them during
the show.
