History Channel Ufo Hunters 1897 Aurora Texas Incident
Apparently, several years before the first airplane flew, a cylindrical craft crashed and landed in a well, leaving silvery debris with aluminum and other metal, and possibly an "alien" body, according to reports. The site was Aurora Texas, in Wise County. Some accounts say that it struck a windmill first. MUFON and other groups have investigated the story since the 1970s. Scientists have put on contamination protection suits and gone into the well, and pulled out water moccasins. An old man who lives there had severe arthritis and rashes on his hands, but that may not have come from the site. Ground penetration devices found the shape of a grave in an unusual location, where the "alien" might have been buried.
The fastest manmade airborne devices at the time were balloons, which could not have covered territory as quickly as newspaper reports (photographed on the show) indicated.
About.com has an informative article on the incident here.
Aurora Texas is on Highway 114, NW on Fort Worth.
