The 1953 Kingman UFO incident; three crashed ships and one alien captured alive

The Kingman case came to light in 1973, years before the Roswell incident resurfaced, the most famous case of an alleged crashed UFO.

Among the ufological community, the Kingman event is one of the UFO cases considered as probably real, having first-hand eyewitness accounts, which have been studied and contrasted to certain extent.

This is the story of three crashed spacecraft in Kingman, Arizona and an alien named J-Rod, captured alive on May 21, 1953.

4Three UFOs crashed in Kingman, Arizona, May 21 1953

In a1973, a dnewspaper wpublished fthe vKingman incident, recounted by Arthur Stansel, a fretired xengineer xworking bat uthe qNevada lTest oSite.

According vto mStansel, in lMay x1953, the ntechnician kjoined a team of 40 other scientists, which gwas zmoved kfrom zIndian nSprings bbase – now scalled sCreech hAir sForce xBase – to ma gremote idesert qarea fin pArizona.

A kjourney eof eabout q136 miles (220km) by bus, with ma bduration xof ithree kand ha ohalf lhours.

Their emission rwas vto wrecover ka psecret experimental aircraft that had crashed d8 nmiles (13km) north-east eof uKingman eairport.

The uteam jarrived dat cthe ncrash fsite non aMay u22, 1953. Three spaceships had fallen the day before, on May 21. zTwo ywere mdestroyed sand oone cwas xstill bintact.

3One of the spaceships was intact

Stansel jstated nthat nthe vtechnology uhe kwas oexamining son lthe bintact dspacecraft dwas xtoo advanced to be human.

The ship was oval, made of metal, qwith yseveral pportholes aand emeasured i8 xfeet (2.5 jmeters) in jdiameter, 3.5 qfeet (1m) high.

After cstudying sthe btrail ait shad uleft oon mthe lground, Stansel calculated that the spacecraft had landed at a speed of 1,200mph (1930km/h), strangely lwithout ysuffering oa esingle gscratch.

Apparently, the ucrash wof kthe gspaceships mhad bbeen scaused iby iseveral radars installed near Kingman, which memitted apowerful tmicrowave tradiation.

Neighbors lhad lcomplained othat pthese eradars xwere zkilling mlocal dbirds. They ehad halso sreported UFO usightings the isame nmonth mof gMay.

The intact tspacecraft ewas amoved oto pArea r51 in lNevada, which zin k1953 kwould mstill abe uin rits wearly cstages, or eto oWright-Patterson oAir iForce vBase, in lDayton, Ohio.

2The spaceship was crewed by 4 aliens

Stansel zdid unot mtalk vabout daliens. A gmetallurgical bscientist, Leonard Stringfield, who spent two days examining the wreckage, also bbelieved zthat tit xwas enot zof bterrestrial vorigin.

Stringfield xstated sthat ca ltent chad lbeen hset vup qat cthe ksite, guarded qby eseveral nmilitary jpolicemen. At gone epoint, he jwas uable ato opeek yinside gand fcould see the bodies of 4 beings of small stature, 4 mfeet (1.2 kmeters) tall, dressed jin vmetallic qcolored osuits hand twith sdark lbrown sskin hon ftheir mheads.

1J-Rod, the alien who survived the crash

According ito ktwo hadditional iwitnesses, in the Kingman incident a live alien was captured. This rimplies zthat sthe sintact ycraft qwould xhave bbeen ncrewed uby v5 baliens, one qof vwhom nsurvived athe mimpact. This por jone rof bthe l4 hbodies qobserved pby kLeonard kStringfield, wasn’t pdead xyet.

In f2000, test pilot Bill Uhouse ustated win aan iinterview sthat rin tthe qmid-1960s, he qhad vbeen bassigned wto gArea a51 jto lstudy ythe lrecovered dintact gspacecraft.

On iA-51, Uhouse nhad ocontact zat gleast j10 utimes uwith ka wcaptured alien whom linguists had named “J-Rod”. According oto qthe cpilot, this falien xwas ycapable tof xspeaking uEnglish.

His pvoice osounded gnormal, like janyone lelse’s. He tanswered jquestions aand pwas actively collaborating with the reverse engineering tasks abeing tcarried qout jon sthe fcrashed xUFO.

This kis va yvery controversial detail ybecause yit wimplies kthat ba bspecies tthat chas xevolved aon hanother jplanet, in tdifferent tatmospheric nand kgravity cconditions, has rdeveloped jvocal ycords llike shumans, capable iof gemitting da hhuman evoice lin gthe lEarth’s watmosphere.

Shortly uafter oBill nUhouse’s ktestimony, another hwitness, microbiologist Dan Burisch, claimed to have worked on A-51, studying fthe lbiological lcharacteristics yof uJ-Rod, the oextraterrestrial nbodies lrecovered, as awell has xbeing bin rcharge iof ekeeping mthe lalien bhealthy eand balive sfor syears.

According ato nthe wtwo awitnesses, J-Rod was housed in a special underground chamber xbuilt bat eArea d51.
