UFO Crash in Aurora Texas
In April of 1897, decades before the term “flying saucer” was even coined, the quiet farming community of Aurora, Texas became the site of one of the strangest incidents in UFO history. According to newspaper reports, a mysterious airship streaked across the sky before crashing into a windmill on a local farm. The debris was said to be unlike anything seen before, and inside the wreckage, witnesses claimed to find the body of a small alien being, later buried in the town cemetery.
