The First Roswell 1897--UFO Hunters

UFO Hunters is one of the paranormal shows to bring serious scientific investigation to UFO reports. Tonight's episode tackles one of my personal favorites, the case of an alleged UFO crash in Texas in 1897.
Aurora, Texas 1897: The US was abuzz with reports of "airships" in the sky. Bear in mind, this was a few years before the Wright Bros gave us the airplane.
On an April night, Aurora was rocked by a reported crash of one of these ships, which allegedly took out a farmer's windmill in the process.

Was this an actual event or a story made up to sell newspapers? Opinions vary, even among relatives of the townsfolk who witnessed the event.

Amazingly, physical evidence may exist...some claim that an alien body was discovered in the crash debris.

Being good Christian folk, the townspeople gave the little guy a proper burial in the cemetery, complete with a headstone bearing a strange heiroglyphic.

UFO Hunters investigates the tale, tonight @ 10pm on the History Channel.
