It has been 120 years since that memorable day when the "flying saucer" collided with the windmill of the small Texas town of Aurora. There was a strong explosion, as a result of which the UFO crashed, and the pilot of the "flying saucer" who died in this case, obviously of unearthly origin, was buried in the local cemetery.
The Dallas Morning News wrote about this in 1987. And local pensioner Frankie Miller is still convinced that he was a Martian, though he heard a dozen stories about it, and they are all different, sometimes strongly contradicting each other. Only one thing is indisputable: in the cemetery there really is a place where the UFO pilot is buried, who, at the suggestion of the graveyard caretaker, was named Ned. Near a tall twisted tree, you can find a sign about this, and next to it is a stone with figures of aliens painted on it.
The mayor of the town, Ph. D. Tony Wheeler believes that the story of an alien who crashed and was buried under this stone is a funny legend of Aurora, since no one can say with certainty if it really happened. Although, as people say, there is no smoke without fire …
But the writer and reporter for the local newspaper Jim Marrs is sure that the UFO accident happened in 1897 in reality, and an alien was buried at the local cemetery. In the distant seventies, he and a friend investigated this case, with the help of a metal detector they even found metal objects in Ned's grave. However, the next day they were gone. Jim is sure that they were being followed by government agents who tried to destroy the evidence found by ufologists. There must have been some UFO wreckage.
The wreckage of the crashed alien ship continues to be searched for at the old Jackie Stone farm, where the accident happened. The farmer swears that his grandfather personally saw how the "flying saucer" crashed into the mill, and often told him this story. By the way, this legend helped Aurora not disappear from the maps of Texas. Moreover, at present, the inhabitants of the town are trying with all their might to revive the tempting legend and attention to their settlement, for example, they have erected a monument with a flying saucer and an alien at the entrance to Orora. After all, the city of Roswell became so rich and well-developed only thanks to the UFO accident near it and the subsequent attention to this fact of numerous tourists …
Many are surprised why the inhabitants of Aurore do not dig up the alien's grave, thereby proving the reality of the legend about the collapse of the "flying saucer" here? However, as explained by Tony Wheeler, this is simply impossible to do, because according to the law, such an exhumation requires permission from the relatives of the deceased. Where to look for Ned's relatives?..
