The 1953 Kingman UFO crash
The Roswell incident of July 1947 and the March 1948 UFO crash near Aztec, New Mexico, were apparently not the only such events to occur in the Southwest during that general time period. There was the Kingman, Arizona UFO crash incident of May 21, 1953, as well. At least according to various rather sketchy witness accounts from people who were made to swear not to talk but eventually breaking their vows of secrecy. As usual with UFO-related events, officials made every effort to have silence reign supreme while any artifacts obtained were studied well out of public view.
After writer Raymond Fowler first reported on the Kingman incident, it seemed to be destined to remain a single-witness account. Fortunately, other investigators, notably Len Stringfield and Don Schmitt, brought other witness accounts to light.
Fowler’s witness was someone he renamed “Fritz Werner” in order to protect the witness’ identity and privacy. The man called Werner was a credible source, having degrees in mathematics, physics and engineering, hardly the sort of person inclined toward perpetrating hoaxes. Werner said that he was employed in Nevada, and his boss told him to get ready for a special assignment. He was flown to Phoenix, and once there, he was directed to board a bus with a number of other people. After these people were admonished not to talk among themselves, the bus proceeded, heading northwest into the desert, a few miles from the city of Kingman. It seems clear that what was happening was that government and military officials had hand-picked a team of specialists to send in, similar to those famous «dress rehearsals» at Roswell and Aztec.
Military personnel took the bus passengers to the crash site itself, where they observed a craft resembling two big saucers joined together. The object was metallic, looking like aluminum, and didn’t appear to have been damaged by the impact. Although, the surrounding terrain suggested that the object had slammed into the ground with considerable speed and force. After Werner analyzed the impact site, he was debriefed and taken back to the bus. On the way, he caught a glimpse of what appeared to be a small nonhuman body just inside a guarded tent. Again, the guards instructed Werner and the others not to talk to each other.
Years later, Len Stringfield located another witness, who said that a “Major Daly” had described to him the experience of being sent to Phoenix and thence into the desert with other people to help examine a crashed disk some 30 feet across. UFO researcher Don Schmitt also found another witness, a woman named Judy Woolcott. Her husband, an officer in the military, had been killed in Vietnam but not before writing her a letter, probably suspecting he might not make it home, describing his own similar involvement in the Kingman episode, including his seeing the crashed saucer in the desert. Multiple witness accounts make the case.
