- I found an
interesting story awhile back of
a crash of a probable
extraterrestrial craft that has
never been sought out by the U.S.
government. This in itself sounds
impossible, since it seems
nothing gets by them, but the
overwhelming facts and the time
frame that this supposed crash
took place has made it a lost and
forgotten one in history. This is
an article that has been
published in Fate Magazine, and
appears on many web pages of the
internet pertaining to a UFO
crash in Missouri in 1865. The
original article was from an old
Cincinnati newspaper from 1865.
The actual crash must have taken
place in Sept. of 1864, so, it is
yet to be recovered.

- An
Extraordinary Story: A Meteoric
Shower Crockery Falling from the
Sky The Missouri Democrat of a
recent date tells the following
story:
-
-
- Mr.
James Lumley, an old Rocky
Mountain trapper, who has been
stopping at the Everett House for
several days, makes a most
remarkable statement to us, and
one which, if authenticated, will
produce the greatest excitement
in the scientific world.
-
- Mr.
Lumley states that about the
middle of last September, he was
engaged in trapping in the
mountains about seventy-five or
one hundred miles from the Great
Falls of the Upper Missouri, and
in the neighborhood of what is
known as Cadotte Pass. After
sunset one evening, he beheld a
bright luminous body in the
heavens, which moved with great
rapidity in an easterly
direction. Visible for at least
five seconds, when it suddenly
separated into particles,
resembling, as Mr. Lumley
describes it, 'the bursting of a
sky-rocket in the air.'
-
-
- A
few minutes later, he heard a
heavy explosion, which jarred the
earth perceptibly, and this was
shortly followed by a rushing
sound, like a tornado sweeping
through the forest. A strong wind
sprang up about the same time,
but suddenly subsided. Filling
the air with peculiar odors of a
sulphurous nature. These
incidents would make a slight
impression on the mind of Mr.
Lumley, but for the fact that on
the ensuing day he discovered, at
the distance of about two miles
from his camping place, he could
see in either direction a wide
path had been cut through the
forest. Giant trees uprooted and
broke off near the ground. The
tops of hills shaved off and the
earth plowed up in many places.
Great and widespread havoc is
everywhere visible.
-
- Following
up this track of desolation, he
soon ascertained the cause of it
in the shape of an immense stone
driven into the side of a
mountain. The most remarkable
part of the story is an
examination of this stone and how
it had been divided into
compartments. In several places
it was carved with hieroglyphics.
Mr. Lumley also discovered
fragments of a substance
resembling glass, and here and
there dark stains, as though
caused by a liquid. He is
confident that the hieroglyphics
are the work of human hands, and
the stone itself, is a fragment
of an immense body, must have
been used for some purpose by
animated beings.
-
- Strange
as this story appears, Mr. Lumley
relates it with so much sincerity
that we are forced to accept it
as true. It is evident that the
stone which he discovered, is a
fragment of the meteor which was
visible in this section last
September. The stone will be
remembered in Leavenworth, Galena
and in this city by Col.
Bonneville. At Leavenworth the
stone separated into particles
and exploded.

- Astronomers
have long held that it is
probable that the heavenly bodies
are inhabited -- even the comets
-- and it may be that the meteors
are also. Meteors could be used
as a conveyance by the
inhabitants of other planets in
exploring space, and it may be
that hereafter some future
Colombus, from Mercury or Uranus,
may land on this planet by means
of a meteoric conveyance, and
take possession thereof -- as did
the Spanish navigators of the New
World in 1492, and eventually
drive what is known as the
"human race" into a
condition of the most abject
servitude. There must be a race
superior to us, and this may at
some future time be demonstrated
in the manner we have indicated.

-
- Upon evaluation of
the facts in this particular
case, I have found some very
interesting details from that
time frame could not have been
misinterpreted. I believe I know
the location of this craft when
it met its demise.
-
- I have purchased
topographical maps of the area
the crash took place, but I don't
have the expertise needed to
interpret the map's details. I
have, however, pinpointed a
fairly close location of where
the craft crashed. The location
is mis-reported on the internet.
Cadotte Pass, Missouri does not
exist. The Cadotte
Creek Montana topographical map clearly
shows Cadotte Pass where the
crash took place. Mr. Lumley was
camping out near Cadotte Pass and
more than likely near Cadotte
Creek which would be a close
water source for a trapper. The
old article clearly states that
Mr. Lumley was in the Upper
Missouri which is of course
located in Montana, and that he
was 75 to 100 miles up from the
Great Falls. This area is exactly
where Cadotte Pass is located so
his recollection was very good as
he reported it.
-
- It is apparent
that at the end of the article
the reference to Leavenworth and
Galena is a misinterpretation of
an unrelated meteor that was
spotted in Kansas and Missouri
and tied it to the story that Mr.
Lumley was giving.
-
- It would really be
interesting if people would get
the word out and locate this
object via the private sector
without government involvement,
and for once let the UFO
community and scientists examine
this evidence first hand. I
believe that this would be a
truly scientific and historic
event. I have seen cover-ups in
the past and it seems the serious
investigators never get the
chance to evaluate the evidence.
It seems all traces just get
whisked off to a government
facility somewhere...never to be
seen again.
