Plains of San Agustin
The Roswell incident seemed just to involve debris from a craft of some sort, as
no main part of the craft/bodies could be found on the Brazel raunch. This led to
speculation that the main part of the craft had managed to travel on before coming to
rest. The Plains of San Agustin crash became one of the main candidates for this location.
The craft came down in an area west of Socorro, New Mexico, known as the Plains
of San Agustin, where witnesses discovered a strange metallic object but also dead
bodies.
The first witness on the scene was Grady 'Barney' Barnett, who told some friends that
in early July 1947 he had encountered a metallic, disc-shaped 'aircraft' about 25-30
feet in diameter. While he was examining it a small group of people arrived, who said that they
were from an archaeological research team from the University of Pennsylvania. Barnet
apparently stated the following to his frieds.
"I noticed that they were standing around looking at some dead bodies that had fallen to the ground.
I think there were others in the machine, which was kind of metallic...disc. It was not
all that big. It seemed to be made of a metal that looked like dirty stainless stell. The machine
had been split open by explosion or impact.
I tried to get close to see what the bodies were like. They were all dead as far as I could see and there were
bodies inside and outside the vehical. The ones outside had been tossed out by the
the impact. They were like humans but they were not human. The heads were round, the
eyes were small, and they had no hair. The eyes were oddly spaced. They were quite small by our standards
and thier heads were larger in proportion to thier bodies than ours. Theier clothing
seemed to be one-peice and grey in color. You couldn't see any zippers, belts or buttons.
They seemed to me to be males and there were a number of them. I was close enough to
touch them but I didn't - I was escorted away before I could.
While we were looking at them a military officer drove up in a truck with a driver and
took control. He told everybody that the Army was taking over and to get out of the way.
Other military personnel came up and cordoned off the area. We were told to leave
the area and not to talk to anyone whatever about what we had seen...that it was our
patriotic duty to remain silent".
Unfortunatly Barnett died before any UFO researcher could interview him. He was described
as a very respectable and honest citizen by family and friends.
However, a new informant called Gerald Anderson came forward in 1990 which backed up
the Barnett story. However thanks to some excellant research done by Kevin Randle and
others the Anderson story was shown to be a hoax. Also Randle tracked down all
students of Universities that were in the area at the time and none of them knew
anyting about the alleged crash.
Again this case appears nothing more than a hoax until further evidence is presented
to say otherwise.
