4,000 year old saucer crashed? Date: 98-10-17 23:02:26 EDT FLAGSTAFF, ARIZONIA A team of experts called in to examine strange debris at the bottom of the Grand Canyon discovered the wreckage of a UFO that crashed a mind-boggling 4,000 years ago! The scientists, members of a secret joint military task force on UFOs, inspected the spherical craft and found it to be in good condition despite its rough landing and incredible age. The relic is made of an unknown metallic substance and emits low levels of radiation, according to leaks from highly placed sources. It was immediately removed from the site and is now in secret location. "My contacts tell me this craft is definitely of extraterrestrial origin and without a doubt carried a crew of 12 to 20 individuals, "said Dr. Hentry Leaumont, a California-based astronomer who contacted Weekly World News after he was shown secret Air Force documents relating to the find. "Carbon dating shows it crash-landed at the base of the canyon around 2,000 B.C. "Cabin features suggest that the crew members were much like humans, although significantly smaller. They apparently breathed oxygen, guided their atom- powered craft with a magnetic steering system and carried supplies of food and water onboard." According to reports filed by the scientific team, the spacecraft was lodged in limestone rubble at the base of the canyon not far from an area called Comanche Point. A thorough inspection of the landing site revealed that the spacecraft's occupants left their ship and lived near it for a number of years after it crashed. This impression is confirmed by Indian cave paintings made at the time, the Air Force secret documents attest. The paintings, found near the crash site, show strange humanoid creatures with bulbous heads. Experts believe these creatures were the aliens who arrived in the ancient UFO. "The ship is made of an extremely light metallic fiber," Dr. Leaumont said. "It measures about 50 feet across at its widest point and it is 102 feet long. It's an incredible find-the latest in a series of artifacts collected secretly and hidden away in government UFO study centers. "There's a lot of official concern about keeping this latest discovery a secret. They've been covering up the truth about alien contacts for 50 years and they're not going to stop now. They want to study this thing, but they want it for themselves. "Who knows what scientists might learn if they'd share this priceless find with the rest of the world?"
