On the evening of July 2, 1947, several witnesses in and near Newbury Park, California, observed a disc-shaped object moving swiftly through the sky. The following morning Christopher Sholes, rode out on horseback to move sheep from one field to another. As he rode, he came upon strange debris -- various-size chunks of metallic material -- running from one hilltop, down an arroyo, up another hill, and running down the other side. To all appearances some kind of aircraft had exploded. Sholes notified the Air Force at once.
From the official files:
"When we arrived at the crash site, it was amazing to see the vast amount of area it covered."
”it was scattered over an area of about three quarters of a mile long, I would say, and fairly wide, several hundred feet wide. "It was definitely not a weather or tracking device, nor was it any sort of plane or missile."
"I don't know what it was, but it certainly wasn't anything built by us and it most certainly wasn't any weather balloon." Among the debris were small mechanical arms with some sort of hieroglyphics on them that nobody could decipher, almost like backwards writing. They were very hard, although flexible, and would not burn at all. These little arms had little numbers and symbols that we had to call hieroglyphics because we could not understand them.
This cache contains the last known remaining pieces of the flying disk from the Newbury Park Incident. The disk landed within 20 feet of this cache. You may take a piece, but you must leave an alien artifact in it’s place.
Note: Exercise caution when handling alien parts, they may be sharp or otherwise exhibit unexpected behavior.
