The AURORA mysterie 1897

-- Denton Area Paranormal Society welcomed investigative reporter and author Jim Marrs to speak at the Emily Fowler Library, Denton, Texas on March 14, 2009 on the UFO Crash in 1897 in Aurora, Texas:
-- Long before Roswell..."Mysterious Airships" were one of the greatest American mysteries. Before the Wright Brothers flew, in 1897, silent aircraft reportedly prowled the skies, shining down brilliant searchlights. On April 16th of 1897, one of these aerial wanderers was sighted over Denton. Then on April 17th, Aurora, Texas, something went wrong; an airship lost altitude, collided with a windmill, and exploded in flames. The Dallas Morning News reported the dead "spaceman" was buried in Aurora Cemetery at high noon the next day. For too long, this historic event - THE SMOKING GUN OF UFOLOGY - has been overlooked.
