Flaming, Turquoise-Colored UFO Crashes, Picked Up By Helicopter

A large oval object, trailing blue, green, and yellow flames slammed into the ground at about 3AM on the west bank of the Colorado River Near Needles, California on the morning of May 14th, according to a report posted on Linda Howe’s Earthfiles.com site.

An anonynmous witness, interviewed by Howe, says he saw the object hit the ground with a huge “thud” across the river from where he was fishing, bouncing once and sending glowing red pieces shooting off into the desert. Soon afterwards, a helicopter that appeared to be a “skyhook”-type aircraft picked up the object and flew off in the direction of Las Vegas. The witness says another helicopter flew over his houseboat shining a searchlight for a few minutes and then left in the same direction.

There are also related stories about mysterious government trucks and a darkly-attired official skulking around the area.

More info and a non-anonymous witness are included in the story at Howe’s Earthfiles. Do any readers live near the site? It’s about 50 miles from Laughlin, Nevada.

    If this actually happened as described, doesn’t it seem as if the object most likely crashed on the very planet it launched from? And probably not too far from where it was made…

  2. La Lune Press Says:

    UFO crashes in the desert…helicopters…strange government vehicles…men-in-black…

    When are we going to get a new story? With some original details?

  3. uv777bk Says:

    A more original UFO crash?

    I think you’re asking the wrong people :P

  4. drew hempel Says:

    Buried in the shallow grave of the mythic UFO dust-heap called “folklore.”

  5. Greg Bishop Says:

    Victor,

    That’s what I thought after reading the article. If true, it means that the government may indeed be testing some of the things that have been rumored, although I still doubt that it’s “captured alien technology.”

  6. Greg Bishop Says:

    LLP,

    If there is testing of new aerial vehicles, the desert southwest is the best place to do it. My point is that the crash (and many crashes, such as the Kecksburg incident) may involve earthly hardware. The details of the appearance of the object is not what we usually expect from so-called “UFO crashes”–no disc, no aliens, no metallic parts, etc. To me, those are the “original details.”
