For eyewitness accounting, this is very good.
Government, and 2 private researchers, were quickly on the scene.
As I recall, there was another reported, and investigated account
in a nearby town, Madera. I believe the Air Force found imprints, there,
which were highly correlated. It may have occured the night before.
What gets me is why in daylight? Why not closer to the military bases?
Or, in a more discrete location? Why land at all? Close to people?
Oh yes, something else.
I remember talking with my mother a few months ago about a picture of her,
taken in New Mexico. My dad was an investment banker, and they were out there
to talk to a uranium mine outfit. The picture showed mom walking in front of the
main gate, and a sign on the fence was a 'Warning" type sign.
She said (without my saying anything, and she knows nothing about the subject),
"The owner took us on a drive around Socorro. He mentioned about some landing,
or other, out in the desert. He went on with your father talking about how he went
out and took his own soil analysis, and found nothing..."
I was slightly dumbfounded! If you knew her, she could not dream this stuff up.
She was an portrait artist, not a scientist.
I thought about what she said. If the mine owner made an independent assay,
fine. There were no great blockbuster matters of evidence, except for one researcher's metallic traces collected off a rock. Those were submitted to
Goddard Space Flight Center, subsequently classified, and not returned.
I found a few odd things on another website-
