Flying saucer crashes in Death Valley in 1949

Summary

In August 1949, a radio host received a call about a circular object that had crashed in Death Valley. According to the report, two men witnessed the impact and saw two figures in tight clothing fleeing the scene after the landing. The object was said to be about 24 feet in diameter and 7 feet thick. A witness with a scientific background claimed the material was mainly calcium, iridescent, and radioactive, with small green wires. The report was sent to local authorities, but no formal action was taken.

The document, written by a special agent, does not include the witness's address, but mentions that if contacted again, it could be obtained. Although it describes a possible extraterrestrial craft, the text offers no definitive conclusions. The case was filed without further investigation, but remains an intriguing account of early UFO reports in the United States.
