The Aurora, Texas UFO
#3
It's one of those 'Maybe' stories as the evidence is littered with counter-information and oddly enough, has similar
references to the Roswell crash of 1947. Personally, I believe there were some airships being tested around the
south-western area of the United States and it could well be -with the assistance of the Dallas Liars Club, some
sightings were enhanced.

It's suggested that S.E. Hayden was not so-much an Aurora Journalist, but a wool-supplier in the area and saw
the town of Aurora diminshing due to several negative occurrences. To promote a community blighted with bad
luck, Hayden may have taken the many reports of airships from around the Texas at the time and added his own
brand of drama.

Only months before the alleged crash in 1897, the town had suffered with a boll weevil infestation, a life-taking fire
and it had been announced that a railroad would be bypassing the town.

Six years earlier, Hayden was reported to have lost his family to spotted-fever epidemic and if this person was
supposedly a resident of Aurora, it would be viable that his wife and two sons were interred in the same Aurora
Cemetery or at least, somewhere in Wise County.

Indexing all the plots of Auroa Cemetery has failed to find any Hayden gravesites and it could well be that the title
'Hayden' is merely a pen-name for a local reporter.

The 'garden' that was supposed to be the location of the UFO crash belonged to Judge James Spencer Proctor
and it is said that Proctor and Hayden were friends and occasionally published satirical articles in the local paper
for the sole purpose of entertaining Aurora residents.

The odd parallels with the Roswell case is that Mac Brazel -the main character in the account, tended sheep on
the ranch near Corona and in some reports, is mistakenly stated to have come into town to deliver wool to a trader
and during his visit, mentioned the discovered debris on the property to Roswell's Sheriff Wilcox.

The legend says Brazel was a foreman, which would imply he managed men beneath him. However, no other
persons are mentioned working on the J.B Foster sheep ranch.

The fact was that the wool-company would go to the Foster homestead to collect the wool and one of the possible
reasons why Brazel would go to town was due to his family didn't live with him on the Foster ranch, they only visited
from their home in Tularosa.

Hayden of Aurora was reported to be a wool-supplier and Brazel tended sheep...?

The nearest neighbours to the property where Mac Brazel watched over the grazing sheep and supposedly found
spaceship debris was the Proctor ranch, owned by Floyd and Loretta Proctor.
The Proctor ranch and Judge Proctor of Aurora...?!

Some Aurora residents have stated that Judge Proctor never had a windmill on his land and the US Signal Service
Officer character 'Mr. T. J. Weems' didn't live in Aurora. Weems is reported to have examined the dead body found in
the crash and announced the deceased pilot was from Mars.

There were two census that indicated such a person named Weems lived in nearby Rhome in 1910 and 1920, which
one was a grocer and the other a blacksmith. Nothing indicated a US Signal Service Officer residing in the area.

This is the problem when we peer back into history. We assume everyone is conscientious and holds truth higher than
we do today. And of course, mystery airships are always sexy!!

All Texas craft from around 1897 except bottom-right, this was the Davenport sighting in California.
.........................................

You see, the point of these stories is to intrigue, not to prove or disprove.
The formula to maintain a good account is not have an ending, a provable position that promotes
the supposed facts that led to the final result.

In the Aurora crash, the body of the alleged alien is said to have been buried in the Aurora cemetery
and therefore, real evidence is there to show that the Earth was visited by extra-terrestrials.
But to maintain the legend, the town's 'authorities' will not permit digging that proof up... ergo, the
story remains intact.

If one looks at all the mainstream conspiracy theories, the Bigfoot always escapes or the UFO-witness
had his finger over the camera lens or just before a press-briefing, MIBs broke into the witnesses' home
and stole his evidence or simply, the person lied to enjoy the fame.

The best ones are always involving the Military, where stone-faced men take away mysterious metal
or pack wooden crates with dead alien bodies. Somehow, these men can move on through their lives
without ever telling their loved-ones that they're being visited by creatures from faraway planets that
would surely destroy everyone's world-view.

And if you entertain any of these rational possibilities, you -yourself are working for the Guv'ment and
are trying hide the truth.

Try Frank Kaufmann of Roswell fame. He created false documents, lied about his role in the incident
and embroidered the tale so much, that many books about the crashed saucer in the New Mexico desert
held assurances due to Kaufmann's claims of his involvement.

Later after his death, a visit to his home produced piles of evidence -from an old typewriter to home-made
official-looking stamps, that proved his entire input to the supposed crash was a fabrication.
Even the authors who wrote about him knowingly lied to enhance their books!
.........................................

The thing is, I watched a documentary many years ago, where a woman held-out hope that her husband
who was reported missing-in-action in Vietnam, could be -not only still alive, but also available to be
exchanged back to his wife for money.

The go-between was an elderly American man who said he worked for a certain US agency and had
been involved in trading US prisoners-of-war in a clandestine manner for many years. The television
programme seemed very dramatic and this soft-spoken guy would keep visiting the harried woman to
tell her the price had gone up.

I looked at the craggy-skinned man's face and wondered how he could deal with such an emotional
issue and yet, carry an air of indifference. Of course, the woman's husband was never seen and the
CIA-guy explained that the shadowy figures on the edge of the jungle had decided the ransom wasn't
worth it.
(No conclusive proof again!)

The go-between in the seventies MIA documentary was this guy -who in the world of Roswell, was
going by the name Frank Kaufmann. The same man who had created fraudulent evidence that the
US Military covered up the Roswell UFO crash of 1947.

I'm not saying it's all bunk, but there's always someone looking to benefit from such tales and it
always makes good entertainment.
