Taos, New Mexico: Military examination of crashed metallic craft
An airman and scientific team examined a metallic flying saucer crash site near Taos, New Mexico in 1948, discovering a craft with small cabin and interlocking construction but no visible power source.
Background
Incident Details
In 1948, an airman stationed in Arizona was dispatched with a scientific team to investigate a crashed flying saucer near Taos, New Mexico. The site was secured with military guards and cordoned off from public access.
Physical Characteristics
The recovered object featured a metallic construction with a flat circular airfoil design. A cabin positioned at the top center was notably too small to accommodate normal-sized humans. The craft's structure consisted of interlocking sections pinned together, suggesting advanced engineering techniques.
Occupants and Evidence
Workers at the scene reported that bodies of small humanoid figures had been removed from the craft prior to the team's arrival. Despite thorough examination, investigators could not identify a conventional power plant, though electromagnets located beneath the cabin were noted as a possible propulsion mechanism.
Significance
This incident represents one of several alleged craft recoveries in New Mexico during 1948, contributing to the broader pattern of UFO sightings and military responses during this period.
