It is not from 1947; it is from the mid 60's and is a real film. I have been searching for video caps but have not found any from the plane that this film is from. I haven't been able to find the clip yet but when I do I will post them.
It is the "landing" (well attempted anyway) of one of the x-plane high speed aircraft that was attempting to land at a desert military base in southern California...
...needless to say it didn't go well.
All i can find says it is of unknown origin [see clip below]. If you find anything else, please post it ASAP!
At the 2nd Australian Symposium in Brisbane, Australia, a video was shown of a supposed UFO crash in the New Mexico desert sometime in early 1997. It depicts an object careening towards the desert floor. The object bounces once before coming crashing onto the ground, exploding and sending sparks flying.
While this footage may show an alien craft plummeting to its end, a number of experiments involving Edwards Air Force Base scientists and personnel are known to take place there.
An American researcher who has a highly placed NASA source working at Edwards AFB said that a small scale model of the X-38 space 'Liferaft' crashed on a small scale test range, with the range control officer executing a self-destruct procedure before it landed.
While it is difficult to form definitive conclusions as to the film's authenticity given the absence of camera specifications, original footage, eye-witness testomony or exact date, it is nonetheless very intriguing.
