A
reader (T-Bear) recalls the description of a very unusual incident witnessed by
his mother and several of her family members. I was unable to recover
additional information regarding the episode. If anyone has knowledge of this
alleged UFO crash, please feel free to forward:
"My
mother and her family were working in Naples, Florida in the late 1950s. One
day-worker saw something crash nearby. A plane? All the workers ran to the site
to search for survivors. The aircraft was sticking out of the sea near the
beach. When the rescue got there, they realized it wasn't a plane, but some type
of spacecraft.
The
"ship" had no doors or windows that could be seen. Beside the ship
was one of the pilots. The pilot was still in its bizarre space suit. It was
tall and very skinny. But had a very large helmet. The helmet didn't have a
shield but a robotic-looking face plate. Two of the workers picked it up and
said it had little weight. It appeared to be dead. Others found a second suit.
The suit was empty. It was lying in the nearby grass. Still, others tried to
get into the ship to look for any more survivors.
Then
suddenly, an Army helicopter appeared. The Army came in great numbers to secure
the location. Troops surrounded the workers' camp and forced them to stay. They
were there for two days afterward. The military told the workers that no one
would believe them if they told what transpired. "Who would believe hobos,
drunks, and uneducated Mexicans?" The foreman told the workers to do what
the military said and no one would get hurt.
While
trapped there, my mother observed the whole situation. On one of the two days
trapped there, she met an unusual person. While sitting waiting for the
occupation to be over, a person wearing a large blanket approached her from
behind. In a bizarre mechanical voice, the strange individual asked her ”Are
they looking for me?” She turned to see a mechanical face under the blanket.
There appeared to be lips moving but there was a delay of sound coming from
them. She realized it was not human and told it “Yes!” She told it to keep away
from the military and look for a chance to escape.
There
is a happy ending to this story. When the Army was still there cleaning up, the
hobos found the surviving crew member. They put a hooded coat on it and other
clothes to totally cover it up. They poured booze over it to make it smell like
a drunk and helped it since it had trouble walking. When the bus came to pick
up a batch of workers, the workers carried it onto the bus. It suddenly spoke
with its mechanical voice, "Are they still looking for me?" They
told it to shut up and get on the bus. The family left the next day. Those who
took the alien were never seen again." T-Bear
