Organized by researcher and author Ryan Wood, the 2nd Annual UFO Crash Retrieval Conference was a groundbreaking event with a truly astonishing amount of new data revealed to what was a certainly a large audience. Jim Marrs gave a fascinating and in-depth presentation on a case that many have seen fit to dismiss without question – the so-called UFO crash at the town of Aurora, Texas just before the dawning of the 20th century. So the story goes, states Jim: “April 17, 1897, dawned clear and cool in North Texas when out of the south came a large silver cigar-shaped object dropping lower and lower as it approached the small hamlet of Aurora, Texas, less than 20 miles northwest of Fort Worth. There it struck a windmill and exploded scattering debris – and at least one small body – in all directions.” There can be no doubt that aspects of the story stretch the imagination to the limit – such as the townsfolk allegedly burying the “little man” in the local graveyard – but Marrs presented what was certainly a large and impressive array of interviews, newspaper clippings and data that he – as a local to the area himself – had uncovered during his career as a journalist and author.

And while resolving this case to everyone’s satisfaction is unlikely given the fact that it occurred more than a century ago, it seems that Marrs’ work has breathed new life into the case that might at least lead to a new appreciation of the story and the possibility that there might be something to it after all.
