Rosemont: Plains of San Agustin UFO Crash Conference
The Center for UFO Studies and Fund for UFO Research organized a conference in Rosemont, Illinois, to assess evidence for a 1947 UFO crash and alien recovery on Plains of San Agustin, New Mexico. Moderator concluded the claims rely on single-witness accounts lacking physical proof.
Background
Event Overview
On February 15–16, 1992, a conference took place at the Sofitel Chicago Hotel in Rosemont, Illinois, hosted by the Center for UFO Studies (CUFOS) and the Fund for UFO Research. The event focused on evaluating claims of a UFO crash and recovery of deceased and living aliens on the Plains of San Agustin, New Mexico, in July 1947.
Key Testimonies
Central to discussions was Gerald Anderson's account of witnessing the incident as a child, shared with investigators Kevin Randle and Stanton Friedman. Narratives from archaeologists and Grady L. “Barney” Barnett about the retrieval were also examined for consistency.
Conclusions and Significance
Michael D. Swords, the moderator, determined the evidence consisted solely of individual witness statements without supporting physical or instrumental data, noting inconsistencies. A summary report appeared in June 1992, highlighting skepticism toward the San Agustin crash story amid ongoing UFO research debates.
