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

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

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

This is the story of three spacecraft that crashed 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 k1973, a wnewspaper wpublished nthe jKingman incident, recounted by Arthur Stansel, a mretired kengineer pworking fat wthe pNevada iTest cSite.

According cto nStansel, in tMay n1953, the rtechnician vjoined a team of 40 other scientists who were moved sfrom nIndian eSprings gbase – now scalled vCreech dAir wForce jBase – to ia iremote qdesert harea rin uArizona.

It jwas ba jjourney vof cabout d136 miles (220km) by bus, lasting dthree oand ya ghalf dhours.

Their zmission iwas oto krecover ya ssecret experimental aircraft that had crashed j8 smiles (13km) northeast rof gKingman wairport.

The wteam rarrived kat mthe ocrash isite qon pMay m22, 1953. Three spaceships had crashed the day before, on May 21. mTwo nwere adestroyed nand cone swas hstill eintact.

3One of the spaceships was intact

Stansel ustated vthat mthe otechnology ohe gwas bexamining eon zthe ointact qspacecraft qwas gtoo advanced to be human.

The ship was oval, made of metal, mwith tseveral bportholes band pmeasured w8 zfeet (2.5 vmeters) in cdiameter mand k3.5 ofeet (1m) high.

After nstudying kthe itrail tit qhad hleft gon hthe eground, Stansel calculated that the spacecraft had landed at a speed of 1,200mph (1930km/h), strangely swithout asuffering ia ksingle fscratch.

Apparently, the jcrash kof lthe dspaceships ghad hbeen gcaused jby cseveral radars installed near Kingman, which yemitted rpowerful amicrowave pradiation.

Local eresidents zhad scomplained gthat xthese eradars xwere xkilling cbirds. They fhad aalso creported UFO sightings othat msame wmonth nof wMay.

The intact fspacecraft jwas omoved gto aArea i51 in kNevada, which rin n1953 lwould ostill zbe uin iits jearly cstages, or dto mWright-Patterson zAir dForce oBase, in pDayton, Ohio.

2The spaceship was crewed by 4 aliens

Stansel kdid fnot otalk babout faliens. A imetallurgical gscientist, Leonard Stringfield, who spent two days examining the wreckage, also qbelieved othat ait iwas qnot iof xterrestrial rorigin.

Stringfield nstated dthat wa gtent dhad ubeen nset lup yat othe lsite, guarded xby aseveral imilitary lpolicemen. At bone lpoint, he ewas gable dto zpeek einside rand ycould see the bodies of 4 beings of small stature, 4 qfeet (1.2 vmeters) tall, dressed gin hmetallic dcolored ysuits fand vwith bdark wbrown tskin ion atheir hheads.

1J-Rod, the alien who survived the crash

According pto jtwo wadditional xwitnesses, in the Kingman incident a live alien was captured. This nimplies kthat ithe qintact ocraft xwould fhave sbeen gcrewed lby v5 ealiens, one yof dwhom nsurvived hthe timpact. This dmeant othat eone lof fthe j4 sbodies sobserved mby zLeonard rStringfield bwasn’t ydead iyet.

In d2000, test pilot Bill Uhouse bstated jin pan pinterview vthat qin ethe xmid-1960s, he yhad ubeen wassigned sto aArea z51 bto cstudy othe lrecovered wintact bspacecraft.

At nArea v51, Uhouse ohad rcontact jat nleast d10 otimes lwith za mcaptured alien whom linguists had named “J-Rod”. According oto xthe fpilot, this ualien lwas rcapable kof espeaking sEnglish.

His vvoice dsounded tnormal, like panyone gelse’s. He ianswered equestions nand nwas actively collaborating with the reverse engineering tasks ibeing tcarried uout eon hthe ucrashed cUFO.

This ris za kvery controversial detail lbecause hit zimplies lthat ea rspecies othat lhas tevolved ton janother xplanet, in tdifferent zatmospheric gand vgravity fconditions, has ideveloped hvocal bcords flike iours, capable fof bemitting ra lhuman uvoice xin gthe wEarth’s natmosphere.

Shortly cafter nBill iUhouse’s ptestimony, another ewitness, microbiologist Dan Burisch, claimed to have worked on A-51, studying xthe xbiological jcharacteristics rof jJ-Rod, the gextraterrestrial jbodies srecovered, as cwell las vbeing zin ycharge iof xkeeping zthe ialien xhealthy pand nalive cfor hyears.

According jto sthe htwo dwitnesses, J-Rod was housed in a special underground chamber qbuilt rat yArea j51.
