Alleged recovery of a crashed UFO
In 1948, a flying saucer crashed in Aztec, New Mexico, with 14 to 18 bodies recovered by the US military under high secrecy.
Frank Scully's book 'Behind the Flying Saucers' published in 1950 popularized the Aztec crash story, but it was based on claims from conmen Silas Newton and Leo Gabau.
The Aztec incident was largely discredited after investigative reporter JP Khan exposed the conmen behind the story in 1952.
Scott Ramsay's research suggests that there were secret radar bases in New Mexico that could have interfered with a flying saucer.
The FBI has a 400-page file on Leo Gabau, of which only 200 pages have been declassified, suggesting potential national security concerns.
The Aztec crash site was allegedly cleaned up by a team from the OSS, who were told to map and survey the area without mentioning a UFO.
Witnesses have claimed that military personnel were present at the Aztec crash site, which raises questions about the official narrative.
