Summary
Three weeks after the Trinity nuclear test, two boys claimed to witness a bell-shaped craft crash and described small non-human beings at the site. If true, it predates Roswell by two years.
Detail
In August 1945, about three weeks after the world's first nuclear detonation (the Trinity test), two young boys — Remigio Baca (age 7) and José Padilla (age 9) — allegedly witnessed a bell-shaped, avocado-sized craft crash in scrubland near San Antonio, New Mexico, and described small non-human beings at the wreckage. They said U.S. Army personnel arrived within days, cordoned the area, and removed the object. The two witnesses maintained consistent accounts for over six decades. Investigative journalist Paola Harris and others documented the case in detail. It rests on witness testimony and lacks official documentary corroboration.
