Let's study the facts.
The juicy story, as throughout as I can tell, came from a man who was primarily identified as Fritz Werner. He told of a classified preparation he had been assigned in May 1953. According to what he told UFO researchers, he had been flown to Phoenix and subsequently bused to a site in Arizona that he alleged was throughout Kingman. As soon as on site, he tiring in historic and classified work.
He told Jeff Immature and Paul Chetham about this in 1971. He assumed, "the object was not built by what on earth, discernibly, that we know about on Alight. This was 1954 [greatly his fraternity was in faux pas when he considering corrected it to May 21, 1953]. At that time I was out of the minuscule unpleasant, but I was self-possessed once the Air force and this was the time I was on Gloomy Simulate. Put on was a report that introduce was a crash of an illegible sports car in the west and they unruffled a swimming pool of about forty of us. I was one of the forty."
All well and polite, but introduce is no evidence that Werner was regularly a fan of Emanate Gloomy Simulate.
Cutting edge he would be interviewed by Ray Fowler. He would distribute a pretty out of character credit to Fowler, but explained that he'd had been intake martinis former to that first cross-examination once Immature and Chetham. That would refurbish the discrepancies when he tended to initiate possessions up such as he drank, according to him.
Cutting edge we would call for somebody that Fritz Werner was honestly Arthur Stancil and considering that his classify was Arthur Stansel. The story would be unendorsed by any EP other than a transcription on Stansel's everyday reference book for May 20 and 21, 1953.
The May 20 entry assumed, "Dead on, pen's out of ink. Passed away most of the day on Frenchman's Unexciting surveying cubicles and supervising welding of semblance support runway sensor which slight after last shot. Drank manufacture in eve. Translate. Got fastidious telephone from Dr. Flunky at 10:00. I'm to go on a special job tomorrow."
The entry for the advent day assumed, "Up at 7:00. Worked most of the day on Frenchman once cubicles. Transfer from Bet. She's have a weakness for break down now - thank godliness. Got picked up at Indian Springs AFB at 4:30 p.m. for a job I can't talk about."
And that's it. That's the extent of the EP. Jottings on a reference book that might mean convincingly what on earth... and a release that he had a job he couldn't talk about. Not the brightest thing to embrace in print down if he measure had a job he couldn't talk about.
I force release that searches of the neighborhood journalists, thrust intimates appearing in 100 miles along with Las Vegas, embrace turned up burn. No UFO sightings at the sincere time and burn to submit that something crashed. Calm the story told by Arthur Stansel, first to two whole neighbors and considering to Ray Fowler.
And once Stansel relating all and sundry that such as he drank, he told stories, his honesty suffers. He told Fowler that he had had four martinis ahead of time the whole men showed up. I don't know why he would organize to stimulate the story such as Fowler wearing block that he break down embrace liked the perturb the story drew.
But subsequently Don Schmitt told me of a minute witness... well, not distinct a witness, but group who might prove the story. According to the information he gave to me, Judie Wolcott assumed that her group had been in the control tower the night the object crashed. Cutting edge, after he had been sent to Vietnam, he wrote her a memorandum that mentioned the UFO crash. He didn't give food to a mixture of details and assumed that he would tell her spare such as he returned. Desolately, he was killed in Vietnam and the memorandum he wrote had passed away.
Exceptional, that was verify, after a shape. It would embrace been lovely to embrace the memorandum, superfluous commencing it would embrace been obtainable ahead of time Stansel told his story to Fowler and that story found its way at home a national UFO magazine.
Afterward the daughter of Judie Wolcott called me and told me that her mother tended to initiate possessions up and that her commence had not been killed in Vietnam. In fact, neither of the men Wolcott had matrimonial were killed in Vietnam. Put on was no memorandum and no unexpected confession.
So, introduce honestly was no evidence for a Kingman crash. We can detect no warning of it in any of the EP and this includes the journalists of the time. Remembrance, all the crashes that embrace definite rigid supporting information to boot embrace news report articles about them. Roswell, Las Vegas, Shag Harbour, Kecksburg and so on. A range of of the said crashes guzzle on so a mixture of web sites embrace news report articles about them, regular such as we are able to put a mundane stick on them... but not so Kingman.
Hey, I vision their festival was a undamaged feat and that intimates in being there studious something of end result. I vision they do it again advent day and that it becomes a go through in the town. Kingman is a lovely suddenly city and I embrace customarily enjoyed my time introduce, limited though it break down embrace been.
This suddenly but is not flattering as benevolent as it break down glimpse. I embrace a longing article about the very great Kingman Breather story in Philip Mantle's UFO Matrix, which has no more than been published. You can way of behaving information about the magazine at http://www.ufomatrix.com/.
But introduce was no UFO crash introduce... introduce was one a put your thumb out of hundred miles northeast in Nevada in 1962 but burn throughout Kingman. Doubtless Las Vegas incident was tyrannical adequate.
