  • Summary

  • The 1949 Aztec, New Mexico UFO hoax, promoted by author Frank Scully, claimed a flying saucer crash but was debunked as a scheme by con men Silas M. Newton and Leo A. Gebauer, who sold fake alien technology. Despite being exposed, some ufologists argue the crash was real, citing an FBI memo based on second-hand information. The enduring myth of the Aztec UFO hoax continues to influence ufology, inspiring books, novels, and the annual Aztec UFO Symposium.
