Alien and UFO EncountersSomething was laid to rest in a small town cemetery in Aurora, Texas. In 1897, an “airship” collided with Judge Proctors’ windmill, exploding and throwing shards of molten Aluminum and Iron all across his property.

Some say the body of the alien is still there, buried in the town cemetery.Visit us at:https://theanecdotalistpodcast.com/Follow us on:Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/AnecdotalistPodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_anecdotalist?igshid=M2RkZGJiMzhjOQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qrYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheAnecdotalistPodcastSourceshttps://www.dallasobserver.com/news/heavenly-hoax-6389024https://texashillcountry.com/1897-aurora-texas-ufo-alien-buried-cemetery/https://youtu.be/7v7M7al8qxc?si=TLUvr4hqMyQnMwCZhttps://cdn.preterhuman.net/texts/alien.ufo/Aurora%20Texas%20Crash%20(1897).pdfhttps://fwtx.com/culture/the-aurora-spaceman-legend/https://www.keranews.org/texas-news/2016-04-18/nearly-120-years-after-alleged-ufo-crash-small-texas-town-is-all-about-aliens?_amp=truehttps://medium.com/@solidi/the-aurora-incident-roswell-of-texas-ce68156ee8d9https://www.auroratexas.gov/community/history/https://www.theordinaryextraordinarycemetery.com/blog/the-legend-of-the-aurora-texas-ufo-crash/
