Researchers Scott and Suzanne Ramsey discuss their decades-long investigation into the alleged March 25, 1948 UFO crash near Aztec, New Mexico. According to accounts presented, a 100-foot disc reportedly struck a mesa, with oil workers discovering an open hatch and interior staircase. The researchers claim to have collected over 55,000 documents and spent $600,000+ investigating the case.

Key Evidence Discussed:

  • Firsthand testimony from crash site witnesses, including oil field workers, a preacher, and a Bataan Death March survivor
  • A concrete slab allegedly buried at the site with surrounding trees planted in straight lines by military personnel
  • Recovery operations potentially involving Wright-Patterson Air Force Base
  • A 300-page FBI file on the case, reportedly moved to the National Archives
  • Claims that 16 small bodies were recovered from the craft

The investigation addresses historical accounts from researcher Frank Scully and a figure known as "Dr. Gee," while examining debunking narratives. The Ramseys discuss how the story became classified and buried over decades, comparing it to other alleged crash cases including Kecksburg and Travis Walton incidents.

The presentation includes witness interviews, site documentation, and analysis of how the narrative may have been suppressed, though the Aztec incident remains highly contested in UFO research communities, with skeptics maintaining it was a hoax.
