Whatever you think about Flying Saucers, please believe they are the topic of conversation among students of a University class of Denver in basic science.

By Charles Little The Denver Post 3-9-1950

Several hundred students of the class listened in spellbound silence Wednesday afternoon to an "exciting" forty-five-minute discourse from a guest lecturer on the subject.

The students said the speaker told of three instances in which disks have landed on earth with midget-sized occupants inside....

The mystery that shrouded the identity of "Mr. X," the lecturer who addressed a University of Denver science class last week on Flying Saucers was believed solved Friday.

Scientists tracking a mystery object which blazed across the sky the night of Oct. 30, [1947] on the theory it was a meteorite, decided Tuesday that it fell in the "Four Corners" country.

[...]

The flashing object was the second to streak across western skies in a month. The first roared over El Paso three weeks ago and came to earth in Mexico. The army said it was meteorite but witnesses said it was a V-2 rocket "or some superweapon."

Editors Note—The article above generally concerns what was initially reported to be a meteorite, which was tracked across the sky on October 30, 1947 (not August 1948 as the article incorrectly cites).

The Rockdale Reporter and Messenger 1-2-1950

Reports of the military and scientists converging on the alleged Flying Saucer landing are part and parcel of what has become known as The Aztec Incident. Interestingly, the article in part states:

The Weafers reported their strange experience to persons, who had been in civilization, and were told that it was the much talked of meteorite. Soon university scientists arrived and set up measuring and calculating devices at the point where Mrs. Weafer first saw the strange object.

"Internationally known experts," says Weafer, "who were present that day at our home, approached me and told me that it was no meteorite, but a guided object, probably from the military establishment of a foreign power. There seemed considerable agreement among scientists and military authorities on the point." [Editor's emphasis]

The Aztec Incident was/is thought to have occurred in the Spring (March) of 1948; what was publicly labeled a meteorite referenced in the a fore mentioned article occurred on October, 30 1947, approximately 5 months earlier. Were the Weafer’s witnesses to the Aztec Incident (from afar), further confirming military and scientific involvement? Was their experience a separate incident, 5 months apart, involving the military and scientists? Or was their sighting of an actual meteorite which seems to conflict with the Weafer declarations?—FW
