    America has played host to numerous high-profile UFO incidents, perhaps the most notorious of which took place in New Mexico during the summer of 1947. But the reported discovery of a downed alien spacecraft near Roswell was by no means the first such incident, with an equally mysterious crash having allegedly taken place in the neighbouring state of Texas, 50 years before. This week, we visit the mystery of Aurora.

      The first hot air balloon in the US flew out of Philadelphia in 1793. Just over a century before the Aurora incident. Someone losing control of an experimental balloon? After seeing their use in the American Civil War and the Franco-Prussian War, I can see someone getting creative and trying to build a self-propelled one, and practical airships were starting to crop up in the 1800s.

      Hot air balloons and "airships"flew before "aeroplanes" for for nearly 200 years before the Wright Brothers, and the description sounded more like an airship than anything else, so the concept of flight was not foreign, the Wrights merely pioneered, or at least popularized, the concept of *_heavier_* than air flight before anyone else could and *_after lighter_* than air flight was proven. In fact this incident took place only 3 years before the first true dirigible was recorded to fly out of Germany, the first true "airship". This video even mentioned odd similar occurrences where odd people in odd uniforms spoke odd languages dating back further than this incident and beyond. The Hindenburg was able to cross the Atlantic, and other such Dirigibles did so before, they just weren't as big or as tragic so you don't hear about them. This story has all the hallmarks of a hydrogen lifted blimp/dirigible with a single test pilot.

    The crash was real. I found an old article in a library that reported on the incident. The community buried the small body in a plain wood coffin out of respect for the dead, being a Christian community. The body was removed during the night while the residents slept. The townspeople wanted no publicity and it upset them that the body was removed. Tombstone still marks it.

    The Aurora Crash always fascinated me, like many stories about things like this there's more to it than meets the eye and the more one knows about the case the deeper the mystery gets. This was also only one of the many Mystery Airship sightings of the 18-1900s, which in itself is quite an enigma and some of the earliest "UFO" sightings in history (before you get into "Ancient Aliens" territory).
    If you guys hadn't already done so, I'd love to see a more in-depth video about the Mystery Airship Phenomena. As I said, there's more to it than meets the eye, and the more one knows about it the deeper the mystery gets.

    I've actually stood at the grave site where the alien body was supposedly buried. As a teenager I was down there with some friends, one of which was visiting a relative's gravesite. That's where I had first heard the story. This was back in the early 1990's, before this became widely talked about on the Internet and in UFO documentaries. At the time I thought my friend was messing with me and that it couldn't possibly have been true. I heard about the case a few years later on TV and that changed my perspective on it. It's probably one of the most fascinating UFO cases I can think of as it predates the Roswell incident.

      Yeah. This is a sweet story in a way. It says something that the citizens of a small Texan town were willing to give the victim a proper burial. Whether it the victim was an alien explorer or else a luckless human inventor doesn’t matter. What matters is that this community came together and decided that the victim deserved a proper burial. If the victim was human they might have been one of the dozen forgotten pioneers of manned flight. But if they were an alien then they might have been an explorer. Either way it’s full of warmth and gives me hope.

      It's interesting I do believe there were reports of "airships" over london around this time.
      And people were a bit unsure of what to make of them other than being cigar shaped.
      Aurora does sound like an airship.
      However it crashed into the windmill and was traveling very slowly suggesting it was in trouble/ had mechanical issues.
      Question is who built them
      And had the technology at least 20 years on front of everyone
      else?
      If it was just an airship would've the wreckage be just left behind? And everyone would of just forgotten about it and moved on
      Unless it was out of the ordinary weird looking.....

      @@stuartd9741 If it was an early airship, it could've been an example of anachronistic technology; look at the Antikythera Mechanism, which is believed to have been made anywhere from 205 B.C. to 87 B.C. The knowledge of how to make such a device was lost - while it's true that crude clockwork mechanisms occasionally turned up in both the Byzantine and Islamic worlds, the level of mechanical sophistication seen in the Antikythera Mechanism didn't appear again until 14th Century Europe. It's unknown who made that ancient device, as they apparently didn't pass that knowledge on to anyone else.

    I am from the area in the video. There is a story of a judge from Waxahachie who encountered four men having lunch near a stream next to a large airship in the 1890s. When approached, the men were friendly and cordial. When asked where they were from they replied that they were from a place that was unknown to people here, that was on the other side of Antarctica across the great ice plain, much like a flat earth idea of Antarctica being a barrier to other lands. It's been recorded in local history since the time of the event. Who knows if it really happened. But the man had good standing in the community. Lots of tall tails in these parts as well however. Makes an interesting story. Great video. As always well done.

      So you're saying that a small child-like individual in rural Texas built an advanced disc shaped metal airship all by themselves, even though this was something that was only being done by the industrialized nations of Europe at great expense, and not only is the design of this airship more advanced than the European ones but then the creator took it out for a flight without informing anyone, with no fanfare, and was killed? Then later, his body and the pieces of his exploded (not burned) airship were removed by a third party, and someone testified it never happened at all despite many townspeople witnessing it and with ample evidence at the crash-site? An extremely compelling explanation for sure. What next? You going to debunk the Rendelsham Forest Incident by saying it was the result of a wild party?

Several years ago some sunken submarine was found in the states (don't recall offhand when or where, maybe Illinois?). It had a single occupant and a dog. It's just presumed to be an inventor who was working on a submarine. No one even really knew about the Wright brothers first test flights before they were ready to invite the press. And even then Europeans didn't believe their claim until they demonstrated their airplane in Europe. So an unknown, solitary inventor working on an airship isn't impossible to consider, especially given the era it occurred in. And the airship was cylindrical, not disc shaped. As for the child-like stature, it could have simply been a shorter than average height person. I've not seen anything stating the exact height of the pilot.

    That biplane (that looked similar to the Wright Flyer) was actually depicted moving backwards. The Flyer was a canard configuration, that is, the horizontal stabilizer was in front. That vertical control surface was the rudder and it was in back.
    The canard was the intuitive way to conceive of an airplane because both the main wings and the horizontal stabilizer would produce lifting forces. Conventional airplanes (with the tail in the back) have the airfoils of the horizontal stabilizer inverted, so it produces a downward force.

      Life was different then. Their cattle was their livelihood. First things first and all. And not much stupid FOMO to be controlled by either lol.

    Definetly a blimp that crashed.. perhaps burning or punched in the aft section - which would explain its slow speed and instant explosion upon hitting a rudimentary windmill. Such blimps/airships may have been being tested at the time.

      I'm inclined to believe this as well. The first powered airship had taken to the air 45 years before and the late 1890s was a particularly active period of powered airship development, though mostly in France.
