Behind The Flying Saucers-The Truth About the Aztec UFO Crash By Frank Scully

The arguments about the ultimate truth of the Aztec crash story rage on to this day. Was Scully deceived by a pair of conmen who were attempting to sell a method of discovering oil by using recovered alien technology? Or did the pair of unsuspecting swindlers ironically stumble on to something real, in spite of their shady past, which they felt compelled to announce to the world using Scully as a mouthpiece?
One of the experts interviewed for the introduction/update to the reprint of "Behind The Flying Saucers," Nick Redfern, has collected around 600 pages of declassified files on Scully, Newton and GeBauer from the FBI, the Army and the Air Force. (The mass of documentation easily dwarfs the amount of material available on Roswell.) Redfern readily admits that Newton and GeBauer were indeed less than completely honest in their business dealings, according to the files, but also notes that 200 pages on Leo GeBauer were withheld for National Security reasons. That seems a little unusual if we're dealing here with only an oil field swindler.
As Nick Redfern points out, whether the Aztec UFO crash was a complete hoax or a highly disputed but nevertheless true story is not all that matters here. It is still a fascinating human drama which features so many of the familiar strands of mystery and intrigue and world-shaking possibilities that one must call it significant by any standards of proof or disproof. Just like the more famous UFO crash at Roswell, the witnesses and the paper trail grow colder all the time, even as the need to know grows increasingly urgent.
