The Aztec UFO incident involves the recovery of a UFO and its occupants in Hart Canyon, near Aztec, New Mexico, USA in 1948. Operation Majestic 1989, an alleged US Presidential briefing document, gives details on its occupants, and the interrogation of Sethimus.
Guy Hottel[]
Guy Hottel (1902-1990)
The Guy Hottel FBI memo to J. Edgar Hoover, dated 22 March 1950, validates one important point out of the entire memo—"three so-called flying saucers had been recovered in New Mexico." If Hottel had not verified his sources—would he have prepared this memo to J. Edgar Hoover?
Guy Hottel was a special agent in charge (SAC) of the FBI's Washington field office who reported to J. Edgar Hoover, the director of the FBI at the time, regarding information concerning flying saucers.
The Guy Hottel memo has been scrutinized by the FBI as some third-hand recounting of events, since it was released to the public in 2010.[1] The FBI clearly state that ‘ “we never investigated” [2] the memo or its related events,’ which is actually accurate as the FBI do not have jurisdiction over the UFO situation. The “UFO problem”[3] had been “exclusively”[4] directed to the CIA.[5]
Frank Scully[]
Frank Scully (1892-1964)
Frank Scully, an American journalist and author of Behind the Flying Saucers (1950), stated that the UFO made a controlled landing in Hart Canyon 12 miles northeast of the city of Aztec, NM, USA. Scully gave the exact measurement of 99.99 feet (30.47695 m) for the saucer's diameter, and that every dimension of the craft was "divisible by nine". Scully also mentioned that the craft worked on "magnetic principles" and was Venusian in nature.[6]
Scully was known for being a humorist in his columns for the entertainment trade magazine Variety. But this does not justify dismissing the details and the information that he gave for Aztec since the 1950s,[7] and reiterated in his 1963 book In Armour Bright.[8]
Psychological Strategy Board[]
|
When Behind the Flying Saucers (1950) was published for the American public, it caused a stir within the Military–industrial complex. Nassau Gun Club held a meeting at Nassau Hall at Princeton University to strategize a debunking campaign against UFO phenomena. This would include developing disinformation campaigns such as hoaxes, false sightings, and wild reports.[4]
An Office of Special Investigations (OSI) helped to establish the Psychological Strategy Board (PSB), with the objective to coordinate and plan for psychological warfare that was feared from UFO phenomena.[4] The PSB was established on April 4, 1951, during the Truman administration.[9] PBS was behind the conjuring and “sanitizing” of UFO reports in Project Blue Book, established 1952.
