This story took place in 1978 and in the 80s it was widely discussed among people interested in UFOs and conspiracy theories.
Recently, she was once again reminded to the world in a book by conspiracy theorist John Guerr called Strange Craft: The True Story of an Air Force Intelligence Officer's Life with UFOs.
The main eyewitness to this story is retired US Air Force Major George Feiler, who in those years served at a military base in Fort Dix, New Jersey. At the same time, he himself did not personally see anything of the following, but communicated with those who were aware of what had happened.
George Fayler On January 18, 1978, at 2 a.m. near Fort Dix, a military policeman on patrol noticed an unidentified object in the sky. Since the object did not resemble American military aircraft, the officer suspected him of an enemy spy and began pursuit in his car.
After two hours of such pursuit, the officer finally caught up with the object and now it was hanging directly over his head, emitting an intense blue-green glow.
What happened after that - the officer did not remember, as if he had a blackout, but immediately after seeing a UFO in the sky, he suddenly saw a "thin and gray-brown creature" that suddenly appeared next to his car.
He described the creature he saw as being about 4 feet (120 cm) tall with "a thick head, long thin arms and a slender body."
The headlights of the policeman's car illuminated the creature well, but the man was shocked. He immediately drew his pistol and shouted to the creature not to move, and when it ignored his order, shot at him. Moreover, from a state of shock, he stuck five bullets into the creature at once.

The creature jerked from being hit by bullets, fell, and then a sharp and unpleasant ammonia smell emanated from it.
When the officer called the leadership of the military base, a special mop-up team arrived at the scene. They acted as if this was not the first time they had seen such a creature, ordered everyone to remain silent about what had happened, and then took the body with them and took it to the Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio..
And at this point in history, Major George Feiler finally appears. He arrived at Fort Dix base early in the morning of January 18 to prepare for a senior officers' briefing and was confused.
When he met the senior sergeant who was managing staffing and office telephones and faxes at the base, he looked flustered. Filer asked him what had happened and he said that "The stranger was shot on the territory of our base."
“His face was pale and his eyes were wide open. When I asked him if this alien had arrived from another country, he replied that it came from space and that it was an alien. He also said that UFOs constantly revolve around our planet,”says George Feiler.
Later, Filer tried to find out the details, but nothing came of it due to the strictest secrecy. He didn't even get to see the photos of the shot alien, although he says he knows for sure that they were taken at the scene of the murder.
Now 84, Fayler lives with his wife in Medford. Despite strict secrecy, no one ordered Fayler himself to be silent about this incident, so he was not silent, and since the 1980s he began to tell about what happened to every interested ufologist.
When Fileer's story hit the media, the US Air Force instantly disowned all of the above, calling it a hoax. Nevertheless, Fayler still assures that everything described is true.
After this incident, he himself was so carried away by ufology that for some time he was the head of the eastern branch of the American ufological organization MUFON.
