Background

Incident Details Selman E. Graves, a private pilot, claimed to have witnessed the recovery of a crashed unidentified flying object near Cave Creek, located north of Paradise Valley, Arizona. The alleged crash occurred on property owned by Walt Salyer, Graves's friend.

Government Involvement Graves asserted that the federal government coordinated with state authorities on a project involving significant land alteration. According to his account, a nearby road was relocated and the surrounding land was bulldozed, allegedly to conceal the crash site from public view.

Significance This account represents one of several crash recovery claims from 1947, a pivotal year in UFO history. The alleged involvement of multiple government levels and deliberate site concealment suggests concerns about official secrecy surrounding such incidents.
