Better Than Roswell? The Aztec UFO Crash –
Scott & Suzanne Ramsey | Flying Saucer Diner<\/b><\/font><\/big><\/center>
\n
\nArea52:<\/p>\n

March 25, 1948. A 100 foot disc hits a mesa outside Aztec, New Mexico. Oil workers climb on it. Someone pokes a stick in a hole, a staircase drops down, and inside there are bodies. Small ones. Sixteen of them.<\/p>\n

Most people Google “Aztec UFO” and stop at the word hoax. Scott and Suzanne Ramsey didn’t stop. They spent 34 years, over $600,000 and roughly 55,000 documents on this one case, and they sat down with me at the Flying Saucer Diner to walk me through all of it.<\/p>\n

We get into the witnesses (a Bataan Death March survivor, oil field workers, a preacher, a family whose car died as discs flew overhead), the only recorded firsthand testimony from the crash site (exclusive to Area52), the concrete slab still buried out there, the trees the military replanted in perfectly straight lines, the scientists behind “Dr. Gee,” a 300 page FBI file that got quietly moved to the National Archives, a break in at the New Mexico State Capitol, and a weird little marble they dug up right where the bodies were laid out.<\/p>\n
