An acorn -shaped object that crashed in
the woods of Pennsylvania.

A mysterious craft that washed ashore in
Japan.

And an earth -shaking impact in Britain
that defies explanation.

Over the years, Ancient Aliens has
examined dozens of accounts of

extraterrestrial spacecraft crashing to
Earth.

we're going to explore 10 of the most
remarkable ufo crashes ever reported

crashes that add to the growing body of
evidence that earth has been visited by

extraterrestrials

the

idea of an alien spaceship crashing to
earth has fascinated us since stories of

flying saucers were first reported in
the 1940s. And while the government has

never acknowledged recovering an
extraterrestrial craft, there are plenty

eyewitness accounts that describe UFOs
plunging from the sky.

And believe it or not, there are even
UFO crashes that were witnessed

of years ago.

Like this first event, which was
recorded on ancient stone disks found in

in China.

Number 10 on our countdown of the top 10
UFO crashes, the Dropa Stones.

Qinghai Province, China, 1938.

Archaeologist Dr. Chi Pu Tei is
exploring a cave in the Bayankara Ula

when he and his team discover chambers
that appear to be man -made.

And what they find within them is highly
unexpected.

Archaeologists discovered cave systems
in China that contained hundreds of

disks.

And these disks were about this wide,
and it seemed that they had some type of

groove in them reminding of...

Modern -day vinyl records.

According to an article published in a
German magazine in July 1962, entitled

UFOs in Prehistoric Times,
archaeologists unearthed 716 of

these disc -shaped objects from the
caves, later termed tropostones.

The article states that archaeologists
at Beijing University

dated the drop of stones to roughly 10
,000 BC.

Each stone had a small hole in the
center, measured roughly a foot in

and had grooves containing microscopic
inscriptions.

In 1962, the Beijing Academy of Ancient
Studies released their first

translations of the inscriptions on the
drop of stone.

And the inscriptions were stunning.

An incredible story was revealed.

It tells of extraterrestrial beings
called the Dropas, who were tiny beings

enlarged heads and slender bodies who
crash -landed on the Earth and were

to rebuild a spacecraft in order to
return to their home.

Shortly after the article about the
Dropa stones was printed, the disks

disappeared from public view.

But is it possible that the published
account of the mysterious stones and

record of a ufo crash in ancient china
is true the story of the tropa disc is

very interesting the information on
these discs could be evidence of one of

earliest ufo encounters in all of
ancient history

the next ufo crash on our list also

predates the modern ufo era having been
reported over 200 years ago in japan

It involves multiple accounts of a
strange disc -shaped craft that was

floating in the ocean, carrying inside
of it a mysterious visitor.

At number nine, Utsuro Bune.

Hitachi Province, Japan, 1803.

Local fishermen are working on Hasaki
Beach.

when they spot an unusual object
floating out in the ocean.

They sail out to investigate and come
upon a mysterious metallic vessel.

Whatever this strange craft was, it
clearly wasn't a boat or ship because it

actually shaped like an ancient Japanese
incense container.

So they towed it back to the shore and
essentially scratched their heads

at it, trying to figure out what on
earth it was.

The fishermen looked into the window and
they saw this beautiful woman sitting

inside. And they opened up the hatch and
she came out. And they said that not

only did she have a physical appearance
that was unlike ours, but her hair was

different and also the clothes that she
was wearing were different.

For ancient astronaut theorists, this
event, known as the legend of Utsuro

or holoship, provides compelling
evidence that an extraterrestrial

crashed off the coast of Japan.

The story of the strange Itsurobune
craft appears in three different

texts.

Now these texts are accompanied by
multiple illustrations of the woman

and the craft.

This craft is almost literally a flying
disc, a flying saucer.

The historical accounts found in China
and Japan are certainly intriguing. But

perhaps the most incredible story of a
UFO crash reported before the modern era

comes from right here in the United
States.

In the 1800s, during the days of the
Wild West, residents in a small town in

Texas claimed to witness a strange
vehicle crash to Earth, leaving a trail

of wreckage and a deceased alien
visitor.

At number eight on our countdown, the
Aurora UFO incident.

Aurora, Texas, April 17th. 1897.

In the early morning hours, residents in
this rural town are working in their

fields when suddenly they see a strange
cigar -shaped object hurtling towards

Earth, then crashing in a fiery blaze on
the property of Judge J .S. Proctor.

In those days, this was before
television, before jet aircraft, any big

got your attention. Plus, the ground
shook.

So they knew something tremendous had
happened.

Two days after the crash, on April 19,
1897, the incident was reported

in the Dallas Morning News.

They said that when the explosion has
happened, people run out and find that

there is actually a creature lying
about.

This creature is of otherworldly
origins, that it is non -human.

What they decided to do is actually to
bury the creature in the local cemetery.

The event quickly faded from memory and
was largely forgotten until the 1970s

when ufologists decided to revisit the
case.

I consider the Aurora spaceship crash
the smoking gun of the UFO controversy

because in 1897, this was six years
before the Wright brothers flew, and yet

here is a well -documented UFO six years
before there was anything man -made in

the air.

Is it possible?

The mysterious airship that crashed in
Aurora, Texas, was a visitor from

world.

For ancient astronaut theorists, the
ultimate proof might be buried in the

pilot's grave.

But when investigators took up the case
in the 1970s, they found that the

tombstone that marked the gravesite was
missing.

I first got onto the Aurora story back
in 1973.

and was there before the tombstone went
missing, and actually probably one of

the few people around who still remember
where the actual grave site was.

Now, the little grave was located right
here.

It was a short little grave.

That was a child or a very small person.

And the little headstone, the marker,
was right about there.

Is it possible?

that an extraterrestrial being is buried
at the Aurora Cemetery.

Despite this astonishing possibility,
requests to examine the remains have

denied. Researchers wanted to exhume the
body, but the local cemetery

association wouldn't let them.

Just what crashed in Aurora, Texas, and
who was buried in the small grave

remains a mystery.

But in 1976, this strange chapter in the
town's history was memorialized on a

plaque at the entrance to the cemetery.

Today, people continue to visit and
leave offerings for the supposed alien

being. And for many researchers, the
peculiar encounter from 1897 remains

one of the most compelling UFO crashes
ever reported.

I believe the Aurora spaceship story is
a legitimate account of a UFO crash.

One of the most important factors to
keep in mind when evaluating a UFO

is the credibility of the witness.

And that's why the next entry on our
list is so compelling.

It is a strange...

acorn -shaped object that crashed in the
woods of rural Pennsylvania and was

seen by hundreds of people.

At number seven on our list of the top
ten UFO crashes, the Kecksburg incident.

December 9th, 1965.

On a clear, cold night, thousands of
people across southern Ontario,

and Ohio Watch as a brilliant fireball
streaks across the sky.

Witnesses actually claimed that this
strange object caused what appeared to

sonic booms, and it was seen to come
down in a wooded area.

Witnesses in the town of Kecksburg,
Pennsylvania, reported that the object

crashing through the trees and dropped
down into a wooded ravine.

Volunteer firemen and policemen were
brought from all over the region.

And at least 10 got into a forest and
described a bell or acorn -shaped crap.

And at the top, it was copper -colored.

This became known as the Kecksburg UFO.

And what they said that they found on
this bell -shaped object were strange

hieroglyphic writing all along the base.

Just minutes after the firefighters
arrived at the location of the crash,

were met by a convoy of military
personnel and ordered to leave.

The military was immediately on the
scene, grabbed everything up, and then

nothing happened.

The whole thing was essentially hushed
up.

Now, the official explanation is that
this was just a meteor passing over

the United States.

But there is a clear mystery here, one
that has never been solved.

Is it possible that the object that
crashed in the woods of Pennsylvania

a meteor, but an extraterrestrial
spacecraft?

For ancient astronaut theorists, not
only is this a distinct possibility, but

this UFO event bears a striking
resemblance to mysterious flying craft.

described by people who lived in India
thousands of years ago.

The craft itself is an acorn -shaped
craft.

Immediately, that's reminiscent of what
the ancient Indian text described as the

Vimana.

In the Mahabharata and many of the
ancient Vedic texts, they speak about

-called Vimanas.

The Vimanas were flying vehicles with
which to reach the celestial realm.

Could the legends of flying craft called
Vimanas have been vehicles flown by

otherworldly beings?

And might the same type of craft have
crashed in the woods of Pennsylvania?

According to the witnesses in Kecksburg,
the object they saw that night was in

fact an alien spacecraft.

And the event had such an effect on the
town that in 1990, residents erected a

monument to mark the site.

of the incident.

Those men who stood around this object
knew it was no meteorite.

They said at the time this was this big
craft from outer space.

Kecksburg isn't the only place where
hundreds of people witnessed a UFO

In 1974, a dramatic aerial incident
unfolded over the rural countryside of

that was seen for miles around.

And in 2017, I got the chance to meet an
eyewitness to what would become one of

the most extraordinary UFO cover -ups in
history.

At number six, the Berwyn Mountains UFO.

It's a quiet evening and residents of
this rural community in the Berwyn

Mountains are preparing for bed when the
peace is suddenly shattered.

The number of people in the area
perceived something anomalous like a

UFOs. Now, at the same time that these
strange lights were seen, whatever they

were, there was an impact on the Burwe
mountains.

The small Welsh village is rocked by
what locals think is an explosion.

Everything shakes, crockery falls on all
units, and everyone is saying, what the

heck just happened?

According to residents...

The police and military showed up just
minutes after the explosion.

The initial theory is that there's been
a plane crash.

The locals who are following this can
see lights of vehicles, powerful

flashlights. It's clear a major
operation is underway.

Eventually, rumours start to do the
round that maybe this wasn't a plane

after all.

Has there maybe been a UFO crash?

And that's the rumor that takes hold.

In 2017, ancient aliens contributors
Giorgio Tsoukalos and Nick Pope

met up with Hugh Lloyd, an eyewitness to
the Berwyn Mountains incident.

On the night of the event, Lloyd drove a
police inspector to higher ground where

he could get a better view of the area
where the object crashed to Earth.

Now, he's taking Giorgio and Nick to the
same location.

So down there, you go to the left there,
just over there, there's a little clump

of trees. To the left of the valley,
that's where the lights were.

When this light appeared, did it seem to
you as if it was an explosion?

No.

This was definitely very strong white
light from the ground.

And how long was it shining for?

No more than 15 seconds.

According to Hugh, after observing the
white light in the distance, he and the

police inspector got back in the car and
drove towards it.

But just as they were about to reach
what they believed was the impact point,

the inspector received an order to stay
away.

We went back down that way a quarter of
a mile and turned left on the track and

then this radio message came.

and said, come back, it's light.

So it sounds like it was a stand -down
call.

Yes, that spoke to me to the day if they
were looking for a crash site, why,

when you were half a mile away from
where we wanted to go, they were called

down? Yeah. Does it make sense?

Is it possible that the police officer
who accompanied Hugh that night was

ordered to stand down because the
military was hiding a crashed

craft?

When the Ministry of Defence...

finally provided an official explanation
for what occurred in the Berwyn

Mountains that night. It involved a
coincidence that many found too

to believe.

The story is apparently that there was
an earthquake that hit the village in

Berwyn Mountains.

But at the same time, there was a bright
fireball meteor breaking

up in the Earth's atmosphere.

So, not... One extraordinary event, but
two, at exactly the same time. Over the

years, the UFO community has become
convinced that this was indeed a UFO

We're coming up on the halfway point of
our countdown, and this next entry

involves Italy's most famous UFO event.

According to reports, when a UFO crashed
in the Italian Alps, A brilliant

inventor was asked to reverse engineer
it by one of history's most feared

leaders.

At number five on our countdown of the
top ten UFO crashes, Mussolini's UFO.

Northern Italy, June 13th, 1933.

On a clear and quiet evening.

an unusual object is spotted streaking
across the night sky.

Dozens of people report seeing a large
disc -shaped craft disappear into the

Italian Alps.

In 1933, it's claimed that a UFO crashed
in the Lombardy region

of Italy.

This was apparently an object around 50
feet in diameter.

like two sources joined together.

It was described as being grey in colour
and metallic. And apparently it was

then taken by the military and studied
on the personal orders of the then

dictator Benito Mussolini.

According to reports, the craft was
found to be unoccupied and unlocking its

secrets was Mussolini's top priority.

elite unit of scientists and government
officials, codenamed RS

-33, was set up and began investigating
not just this crash,

but other strange sightings that were
being reported at the time.

To lead the committee, it said,
Mussolini enlisted the Nobel Prize

physicist and famed inventor of the
radio, Guglielmo Marconi.

Mussolini said, find out what it is, and
because it seems to be so advanced,

build one.

Marconi apparently said, well, we can't.

We can't figure it out.

Is it possible that a crashed UFO was
recovered by the Italian government in

1933?

And if so, what happened to it?

Some researchers suggest news of the
wreckage attracted the attention of Pope

Pius XII.

The story is, in 1943, when Italy was
invaded and then changed sides

and was fighting with the Allies, the
Vatican intervened and the Pope

personally brokered a deal whereby this
crashed UFO would be shipped back to the

United States.

So it's very interesting to speculate
that although Mussolini was the first to

get there, it ended up with Americans.

It's crazy to think that Mussolini might
have been involved in reverse

engineering an alien spaceship.

But just as incredible are reports from
Russia that say in the late 1940s,

Soviet military pilots chased a UFO
until it eventually crashed and then

recovered not only the wreckage, but
alien bodies.

At number four on our countdown,
Kapustin Yar.

In the years following World War II, the
Soviet Union is racing to develop its

first nuclear weapon.

One of the primary facilities for this
research is a remote military base along

the Volga River called Kapustin Yar.

Kapustin Yar is critically important.

rocket launch facility where all of the
major soviet era and russian rocket

launches take place curiously at the
time officials at nuclear facilities and

rocket launch sites frequently witness
mysterious objects flying overhead in

1947 1948 you find a number of important
ufo encounters over

american

and Soviet nuclear technology
facilities.

There were UFO sightings in the United
States over key atomic energy

sites. Similarly, over Kapustin Yar,
we've got significant

UFO activity being reported.

On June 19, 1948, radar operators
detected an unidentified

flying object near Kapustin Yar.

Strange blips were seen on radar.
Something was tracked, performing

extraordinary speeds and maneuvers.

And a Russian fighter jet was sent to
intercept it.

The pilot saw a silver cigar -shaped
object and was told,

shoot this thing down.

It managed to launch a missile and shoot
down the UFO.

We don't know exactly what happened.

but allegedly they were able to actually
shoot this object down.

They found remnants of technology which
was recovered and taken to the local

bunker where they kept it allegedly for
years and used it to reverse engineer

some of the technology.

According to reports, along with the
wreckage, officials recovered bodies

inside the craft.

We are told that there is an underground
facility under Kaputnyar,

similar probably to facilities here in
the States, where a full examination

could be performed on the pilots of
these craft.

Is it possible that the Soviet Union not
only recovered a crashed UFO, but also

the remains of extraterrestrial beings?

Perhaps clues can be found.

by examining the rapid development of
the Soviet space program.

Why were the Russians first into space?

Why did they manage to do Sputnik 1 and
then send Yuri Gagarin up into orbit and

leave the Americans standing?

Because on paper, you'd think that the U
.S. government should have won that

race, but they didn't.

If the Russians got live aliens, maybe
they found out something from what

happened to Kustin Yar that gave them
the edge in the space race.

The rumor is they were reverse
engineering UFO technology there. And

if it's possible that they could reverse
engineer the crap that they believe

they had in their possession.

On ancient aliens, we've investigated
numerous reports of crashed UFOs that

allegedly recovered by the military.

One that's not often talked about
occurred in a small town along the banks

the Mississippi River.

And many researchers believe it's this
event that marks the beginning of

deliberate UFO cover -ups.

Number three on our countdown of the top
ten UFO crashes.

The crash at Cape Girardeau.

April 12, 1941.

Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

Just after 9 .30 p .m., Reverend William
Huffman gets a call from local police

informing him that there's been a crash
about 15 miles outside of the city.

He is needed to offer spiritual comfort
to the victims.

But when he gets to the scene, it is
nothing.

like what he expected.

The minister thought he was just going
to some automobile accident or something

like that where there had been a
fatality.

But when he got there, the military was
there, the FBI was there, there were

photographers taking photos of the
scene, they were cleaning up the crash

When William Huffman arrived to the area
where this had occurred, he realized

that this was a dish, a crash of some
sort that had crashed.

in Cape Girardeau and it wasn't human
victims that were inside of this thing.

He's taken and shown three individuals
and these individuals are about four

feet in height and very clearly not
human.

They were described as having long arms,
slightly oversized head.

Once all of this wreckage was taken care
of and shipped off to destinations

unknown, William Huffman was told by
members of the United States Air Force

never to speak about what had just
occurred.

And right then and there, you had the
beginning of yet another UFO crash cover

-up by the United States military.

Reverend Huffman's account would remain
a secret until after his passing when

his wife...

on her deathbed in 1984, divulged the
details to the rest of the family.

Further information about the military
response has since been leaked in a book

titled The Bombshell Before Roswell.

Cape Girardeau, Missouri, from 1941,
appears to be where

our retrieval as a government of things
that were described as from another

world began.

Did the military really recover a
crashed UFO in 1941?

And if so, what happened to it?

According to reports, the disc was taken
to a secret facility in Washington, D

.C.

The story is that a military unit comes
in with orders to gather

up this disc and fly it to Washington, D
.C.

The bodies were put and the craft in a
sub -basement underneath the nation's

capital where they could be secure.

Today, the mysterious crash at Cape
Girardeau remains a little -known

in history.

But for many researchers, this obscure
event, which took place four years

an object crashed in Roswell, New
Mexico, marked a turning point in the

handling of UFOs.

When we talk about UFO crashes, wouldn't
it be something if the ground zero for

the whole UFO crash phenomena was
actually Cape Girardeau?

Cape Girardeau crash was a preparation
for the military's response to the

Roswell crash.

And the military learned an awful lot
about how to handle these events, how to

cover them up, and how to make sure that
they put a blanket of secrecy over

future crash events.

It would seem that the American
government has been aware of some alien

and perhaps interacting with them since
at least World War II with the Cape

Girardeau crash.

But no matter what the actual truth is,
it would appear that we've been

interacting with and aware of
extraterrestrials for many decades.

You might be surprised that the number
two entry on our list is the most famous

UFO crash ever reported.

It involves eyewitnesses, strange
unexplainable wreckage, and even a

cover -up.

At number two on our countdown of the
top ten UFO crashes, the Roswell

July 1947.

Witnesses see a flash of light that
streaks across the night sky, then

in the desert north of Roswell, New
Mexico.

Rancher Mac Brazel hears the impact and
investigates the next morning.

The field of debris was like nothing
ever seen before.

And the rancher reported finding what
looked like initially foil -like

This sort of suggested the possibility
that something very strange had come

at Roswell.

Roswell, of course, reports it to the
local Roswell sheriff, a man named

Wilcox, and Wilcox sends some deputies
out there, and the case gets crazier

there.

Roswell Army Airfield sends people out
to investigate it.

On July 7th, the airfield dispatches
Army Air Force Major Jesse Marcel.

to investigate the mysterious debris.

My grandfather, Major Jesse Marcel, back
in July of 1947,

was the head of intelligence for the
509th Bombing Group and was really the

investigator into what has become known
as the Roswell incident.

According to his grandson, Marcel was so
astounded by what he saw that he took

the debris home with him.

He went and woke up his son, my father,
who was about 12 years old at the time,

and his wife, Vio, and said, you guys
got to come take a look at this.

He couldn't make heads or tails or any
sense out of what he was looking at.

While examining the wreckage, Marcel's
family discovered several mysterious

markings.

My father picked up what was a beam
about 11, 12 inches long, and all of a

sudden these symbols appeared.

He really came to the idea that whatever
this was, it was not made by human

hands.

The next morning, the front page
headline of the Roswell Daily Record

Roswell Army Airfield Captures Flying
Saucer.

That day, Major Marcel is summoned to
Fort Worth, Texas, headquarters of the

Air Force, and is ordered to bring with
him the debris he recovered from the

crash site.

He and Brigadier General Roger Ramey are
scheduled to present their findings to

the media.

Jesse Marcel flies to Fort Worth to tell
the whole world about the crash of a

flying saucer at Roswell, except Roger
Ramey says to Jesse Marcel, could you

just go in the map room for a second? I
want to arrange some stuff out here.

According to Marcel, Roger Ramey.

removed all the material recovered from
the Roswell crash site and gave Marcel

something else to present to the
reporters.

They make Jesse Marcel, a radar -trained
intelligence officer,

stand in front of a weather balloon and
admit that he was confused.

UFO researchers suggest that evidence
proving Jesse Marcel's story is true.

and that the actual wreckage from
Roswell was indeed replaced with a

balloon, can be found in a photograph of
General Ramey inspecting the recovered

debris. General Ramey had a document in
his hands, the so -called Ramey memo.

Modern forensic document analysis and
photographic enhancement has enabled

researchers to zoom in on this and to
clarify at least some portions of the

text. What it tells us is astounding.

Some of the phrases in the memo are
victims of the rest, and discs which

we will ship.

So, clearly, if the official story is
true, well, this makes no sense.

Clearly something more than just a
weather balloon was involved here, and

memo might just be the smoking gun.

Is it possible?

that the military's initial report about
the crash of a flying saucer was true,

and that they actively concealed this
evidence from the public eye.

For ancient astronaut theorists, the
answer is a resounding yes.

The question is always, well, where is
the evidence, where is the evidence?

Well, if the evidence has not yet been
revealed, that does not mean the

is not there.

There's only one UFO crash left on our
countdown, and you won't want to miss it

because this event reportedly includes
an actual alien survivor.

We've reached the top UFO crash on our
countdown, which took place deep in the

Mojave Desert.

And while it occurred six years after
Roswell, what makes this one so

is that reports claim that there was an
extraterrestrial survivor.

At number one, the Kingman UFO crash.

Phoenix, Arizona, May 21, 1953.

In the middle of the night, government
officials secretly gather a team of

scientists for a curious assignment.

They are collected to investigate a
mysterious object that crashed in the

outside the small town of Kingman.

There were 40 engineers that boarded a
bus and they took a long three and a

hour ride from Phoenix to Kingman.

When they got there, it was nighttime.

There were MPs on all corners of the
craft.

They had two high -powered lights
shining down on it.

It's about a 40 -foot diameter disc
-shaped craft that was perfectly intact.

There wasn't a scratch on it.

According to reports, The wreckage
contained not only a spacecraft, but

extraterrestrial entities.

There were four beings associated with
this craft, and what they ended up doing

is they took an M25 tank transporter,
they put this craft on the tank

transporter on the trailer, they built a
cradle for it, and they shipped it to

Groom Lake.

Groom Lake is the Area 51 region in
Nevada.

When Area 51 was just... They took the
craft and the aliens out to that

in the middle of the Nevada desert
because it was so remote.

And around that they built Area 51.

Hidden within a ring of mountains deep
in the Nevada desert, Area 51 is a top

-secret military installation that has
long been rumored to hold evidence of

alien technology.

And there are even stories.

that a special facility at Area 51 once
held an alien entity known as

J -Rod.

J -Rod is an alien who allegedly worked
at Area 51 over a period of years.

It was J -Rod's mission or duty to help
reverse engineer.

that was apparently from the 1953
Kingman UFO crash.

One man who claimed to have worked with
J -Rod is Captain Bill Uhaus, a former

Air Force test pilot who was assigned to
Area 51 in the mid -1960s.

We had a long period of introduction
into meetings, you know.

And I called him J -Rod. That's the name
that the linguist gave him.

And he'd try and answer your question,
you know.

Basically, it was only engineering
advice or science advice.

Is it possible that the United States
military worked with an extraterrestrial

being to develop cutting -edge
technology?

While the sensational account of Bill
Youhouse strikes many as outlandish.

In the years following the Kingman UFO
crash, scientists at Area 51 developed

some of the military's greatest
innovations, including the U -2 spy

SR -71 Blackbird, and stealth
technology.

It's interesting to look at the sudden
explosion of technology just

about at the time of these UFO crashes.

You see us go from propeller aircraft to
space rockets in

just a few short years.

And many believe a lot of technologies
that we do have have been acquired

through UFO crashes.

Did an alien pilot really help reverse
engineer extraterrestrial spacecraft at

Area 51?

To some, the evidence is certainly
compelling.

And so is the fact that UFO crashes have
been reported all over the world, from

the American Southwest to northern Italy
and even the mountains of China.

The ten incidents we featured in this
episode are just the tip of the iceberg

and with so many reported crashes it may
only be a matter of time before

our governments can no longer hide the
physical proof of extraterrestrial

visitation
