In the second interview
inspired by Christopher Mellon’s “leaked” email that mentioned the Kingman UFO
crash of 1973, I talked with David Rudiak about some of the rabbit holes he had
gone down in his research of Kingman. While searching newspaper files about the
case, he found people disappearing out of jail cells and others disappearing in
an ambulance being followed by the sheriff. You can hear the interview here:
What David found, was
information on three UFO crashes in the Kingman area in a short period of time,
including the one revealed by Arthur Stansel. You can read my longer analysis
of the Stansel’s tale here:

According to Rudiak,
the newspapers in the area do report on some of these events and he created web
pages for those interested in following up on these tales. You can see them
here:

There were mass
sightings in the Kingman area, and by area, I mean southern Nevada and western
California as well. There were many sightings of strange craft there starting
in 1950. You can read more about this here:

Our discussion showed
how an investigation can be conducted from home using the incredible resources
of the Internet. An investigation in the past might have required trips to
libraries and towns and the searches of newspaper morgues. Today, many of those
resources are available online.
Let me say here that on
site investigations can result in a better understanding of the event and
sometimes reveal a solution that no amount of online research can provide. But
a great deal can be learned on line.
I will note here the
importance of this particular research. As mentioned, it was Mellon who started
this latest research with the email that suggested the May 1953 Kingman crash
was something real. But the evidence (including research I had conducted years
ago) does not hold up. Stansel, who originated the tale is not the credible
source he has been made out to be. If Mellon and his pals were truly on the
inside, you would expect them to know this. Apparently, they do not.
Read the Kingman UFO Conundrum,
linked above for a good overview. There will be more to follow on this story
and how it affects the latest UFO, or should I say UAP, fad.
