Roster / Scientists and researchers

Spent decades tracing witnesses and records for the Aztec, New Mexico crash.

Scott and Suzanne Ramsey are researchers who spent more than two decades on the reported March 1948 recovery of a craft at Hart Canyon near Aztec, New Mexico. They tracked down family members of witnesses, local records and military documents, and walked the site.

Their 2012 book with Frank Thayer, The Aztec Incident: Recovery at Hart Canyon, argues that a craft really was recovered there, against decades of the case being written off after a 1950 book's sources were discredited. The FBI's 1950 Hottel memo, which mentions saucers recovered in New Mexico, is often cited alongside it, though it never names Aztec.
