Regarding "Farmington/Aztec UFOs" - Latest First

I am a new librarian @ Aztec Public Library in Aztec, NM. Through all the new literature that has come out in conjunction with the 50th Anniversary of the Roswell Incident, it has come to my attention that Aztec,NM also is in the annuals of UFO history as a very important crash site that is also coming up on a 50 year mark. So I've been doing a little research on the subject and have uncovered some "even more interesting literature" on the subject of our sleepy little town and what might/might not of occured here on/or around May 25,1948. The Aztec Public Library is sponsering a forum on this incident and if anyone has any pertinent information to add to this alleged "cover-up" please contact Lee @ the library 505/334-3658. -- Lee (aztecpl@cyberport.com ) 3/3/98 (#2)

I am doing research on the Aztec Incident does anyone have any info on this subject? I heard that there was an article in the Denver Post in regards to the Aztex incident circa 1945. Please e-mail any info. Thank you. -- Herby G. (gomezgro@cvn.com ) 1/7/97 (#1)
