Unveiling Secrets from 1953 the Kingman UFO Crash Mystery

For UFO Currents
When considering UFO crashes, the prevailing question for me is why the U.S. Southwest, with its proximity to military bases, has numerous sightings and purported UFO crash retrieval sites. What purpose does the military serve as a point of observational interest for extraterrestrial visitors? Over the decades, incidents like Roswell, New Mexico in 1947, and Kingman, Arizona in 1953, involved not only UFO crashes but also the recovery of non-human entities.
I want to focus on the 1953 Kingman incident. Recently, Chase Golightly of 12News KPNX-TV delved into the 1953 Kingman UFO crash retrieval in his investigative video report, "Leaked Documents Claim a UFO Crashed in Kingman, Arizona in 1953."
One question that eluded the report was the proximity of nearby military installations. Remember, these UFO craft can traverse large areas in seconds to minutes, unlike conventional aircraft. UFOs could move at incredible speeds and cover vast distances in mere moments, as observed and reported by both law enforcement and military personnel, lending these reports high credibility.
This leads to further questions: Why do UFOs seem to observe military operations? Is it to monitor our advancements in specific areas of research, prevent self-harm, or protect natural resources? These questions drive many UFO researchers to continue seeking answers.
In reviewing Golightly's report, recently released conversations involving high-level government officials suggest that a UFO crashed in Kingman in 1953 and that the Air Force seized the aircraft. This incident, unlike other famous sightings such as the Phoenix Lights, involves claims of government secrecy and retrieval. The event occurred in May 1953 when an unidentified aircraft allegedly crashed in the desert near Kingman, Arizona. Researchers like author Preston Dennett highlight the unique nature of the Kingman crash due to extensive research, witness testimonies, and alleged evidence. Dennett places the Kingman incident among the top five UFO crash retrieval reports in the United States.
Golightly visited the Mojave Museum of History in Kingman, where old newspaper clippings, sketches, and redacted government documents were examined. These documents included accounts from individuals like Fritz Werner, now known as Arthur Stansel, an Air Force engineer. According to the documents, Stansel was part of a group of 40 people taken to the crash site in a bus with blacked-out windows. They were involved in a secret project and found a 14-foot high, 30-foot diameter UFO made of unfamiliar metal, partially buried in the ground. Stansel estimated the speed of the UFO at 1,200 MPH based on the gouge it made in the soil. The UFO was largely undamaged, and next to it was the corpse of a 4-foot tall being in a silver metallic suit, guarded by military police. The operation was conducted at night, and participants were sworn to secrecy.
Were there subsequent revelations? Yes. Twenty years later, Stansel signed an affidavit confirming his account of the event. Former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Intelligence, Christopher Mellon, along with a senior government member, claimed that the U.S. government seized the Kingman UFO. These crafts are allegedly taken to Air Force bases and labs for study.
What about the government response? Despite numerous reports and witness accounts, there has been no official confirmation from the U.S. government. Attempts to get comments from congressional members and the U.S. House Oversight and Accountability Committee, which has held hearings on UFOs and aliens, resulted in no official statements on the Kingman crash.
The bottom line is that the true nature of the Kingman crash remains unconfirmed. Researchers believe that increased release of classified information by former government workers might eventually provide answers. Yet, as we have seen with the recent release by the All-domain Anomaly Resolution Office (AARO) this year, discounting sightings of extraterrestrial technology and downplaying many major ufological events reported over decades, government entities maintain silence on the incident, leaving the public to speculate on what really happened in Kingman in 1953.
Do I believe it happened? It sure looks like something happened. So, yes.
