The Gallup Incident, or... Maybe Chicken Little Was Right! (Page 2)

This article details the events of Wednesday, January 12, 1983, in northwestern New Mexico and southwestern Colorado. It begins with a Farmington, New Mexico Daily Times article by Rex Graham, headlined "Goodness Gracious-Great Ball of Fire," describing a suspected meteor smashing into a mountain, causing a fire and numerous calls to the McKinley County Sheriff's office. The incident was believed to be part of a "meteor shower" that caused sonic booms. Sheriff Benny Padilla reported receiving 126 calls and investigating a fire in the Springstead area, finding an empty crater about 25 feet across. Later that night, Padilla and Gallup Chief of Police Frank Gonzales reported seeing a "green object" traveling toward the ground. Investigators contacted NORAD, who stated it was not a decaying space object but possibly a meteorite, and not the Soviet satellite Cosmos 1402. The article notes that Cosmos 1402 was a Soviet maritime surveillance satellite with a nuclear reactor, which fell into the Indian Ocean in January 1983.

Ms. Cormier of NORAD suggested that while the fireball was consistent with a meteorite, the multiple explosions were not. Sheriff Padilla suggested a "meteor shower" caused the sonic booms. Dean Gensamer of the FAA reported no radar flashes. The article then contrasts this with a report from the Durango, Colorado Herald by Chip Hinds, which mentioned a meteor shower, classified aircraft, methane gas explosion, and sonic booms. Windows rattled and buildings were shaken in Durango and Farmington. CRUX interviewed Lynn Bartels, a reporter for the Gallup Independent, who recalled residents of a trailer being convinced a car had struck their home.

Undersheriff Jack Graham investigated a fire east of Gallup, finding smoldering dead wood and a crater, but no plane wreckage. State Police speculated the fire was caused by underground gas, a meteor, or dynamite. Dr. Ron Gooley of Los Alamos National Laboratory stated that booms were caused by meteorites breaking the sound barrier, but expressed surprise at the number of witnesses. CRUX interviewed Dr. Gooley, who stated that meteorites do not cause fires and that dynamite might have been involved. He also noted that over distance, dynamite can be felt but not always heard. He reiterated that a single meteorite wouldn't last for hours, but multiple booms could be from a shower. He dismissed the green fireball sighting as coincidental, suggesting shooting stars can have a greenish tinge. He was convinced it wasn't a meteorite because they don't cause fires.

Chip Hinds' Durango Herald article mentioned Rick Wilkie seeing "hunks of a meteor falling off." Norman Thomas of Lowell Observatory advised skepticism about meteor theories without thorough investigation. NORAD officials were investigating but didn't know the cause. The FAA referred inquiries to Lowry Air Force Base, which had no knowledge. An Associated Press story reported Sheriff Padilla's belief that a meteorite or foreign object caused the fire, but also mentioned the possibility of dynamite. Undersheriff Jack Graham found smoldering trees, a 25-foot crater, and noted the difficulty of reaching the site due to snow. The sheriff's department received over 100 calls.

A United Press International release mentioned a "big green ball of fire" setting off six booming sounds and leaving a 25-foot crater. Sheriff Padilla and Chief Gonzales saw the "big green ball of fire" which disintegrated before hitting the ground. Undersheriff Graham found trees on fire and a 25-foot crater. A UPI story headlined "Meteors May Have Landed in New Mexico." An AP story on January 14th, "Dynamite, Not Meteorite, Cause of Big Boom Near Gallup," quoted Undersheriff Jack Graham believing dynamite caused the explosions and fire. He found tape binding blasting cap wires and smelled dynamite.

Graham found four holes where dynamite might have been placed. He mentioned a man in his 20s with curly blond hair seen in the area with a backpack and rifle. MIT scientists were reportedly arriving, but MIT later denied this. Graham also reported seeing "a falling star or a meteorite fall" that burned longer than usual. He mentioned residents reporting being hit with gas that dried their lips and made them nauseous. Lynn Bartels' article in the Gallup Independent, "Explosions, Fire baffle authorities," suggested dynamite as the cause. Sheriff Padilla declined to give theories, citing rumors. Meyers reported military helicopters and vehicles in the area. Chip Hinds reported the FAA denying a previous statement about classified military aircraft. The FAA later denied any such report was issued. Bartels' article continued with Graham's account of finding dynamite tape and smelling dynamite. He noted four holes where dynamite might have been placed. State Police and FBI agents took soil samples. State Police Officer Bill Johnson stated Graham might have found holes from dynamite, but police found no indentation or debris. Graham speculated the explosions could be heard far away due to atmospheric conditions. He also mentioned hearing jets after the blasts. The military assured radio newsman John McBreen there had been no fly-over tests since November 19th. Undersheriff Graham also saw "green fireballs" that headed southeast. Graham estimated he was 2 to 3 miles from Sheriff Padilla's location. Something occurred 15 miles south of the burn site near Ramah. "Carl," a law enforcement resident, reported an explosion that was felt more than heard, and his cattle seemed agitated. He saw a "big ball of fire, kinda red," which he thought was a missile that blew up. He estimated it was 10 miles southwest and lasted about 10 minutes. The wind carried a noxious odor that lasted 35-40 minutes.

An Associated Press story from the El Paso Times reported State Police Lt. John Toney saw a burned area with no crater or impact signs, and found it baffling. Sgt. Willard Morrow reported Kerr-McGee Corp. took a geiger counter to the burned area and found no sign of abnormal radiation counts. UPI dispatches mentioned a state police dispatcher fielding about 180 calls. Another UPI story mentioned a "big green ball of fire" and sonic booms. Crownpoint Police Lt. D. K. Thomas called it a mystery with no evidence of a meteor, aircraft, or falling debris. A woman in Farmington heard a sonic boom that shook her house. Residents near Gallup heard what they thought was an airplane in trouble. The Gallup Independent reported "Noisy Explosions Linked to Aircraft," with sources suggesting military aircraft flying to Tucson. The FAA spokesman denied any such report. Robert Haag offered a $1000 reward for a meteorite piece, describing the green ball as a "very good sign." He discredited the fire theory, stating meteorites don't start fires. Kit Miniclier of the Denver Post questioned a photo of a "25 foot crater," and was told by officials that no craters or debris were found. Crux's interpretation is that Graham was standing on a slope, not in a crater.

McKinley County Sheriff Padilla stated soil samples from the fire area were sent for analysis to determine the cause. Undersheriff Jack Graham believed dynamite caused the fire, but Padilla questioned this due to the distance the explosions were heard. A confidential source suggested unspecified metallic material was found in the soil samples. Graham found tape from blasting caps and believed dynamite was used. State police took soil samples higher on the ridge. John McBreen, a Gallup radio news director, obtained a soil sample which was sent for analysis but found the lab lacked proper equipment. The sample was sent to a New York laboratory, which reported nothing unusual. A Farmington Daily Times report by Rex Graham mentioned a seismograph at Chaco Canyon helping to eliminate theories. Local residents heard a loud "boom" around 5:30 p.m., followed by more "explosion-like noises." No plane wreckage was found. Sheriff Padilla and others saw a "green fireball" around 10 p.m. The booms were thought to be from a "meteor shower." Padilla also mentioned the possibility of the Russian satellite. NORAD stated no satellites fell in that location or time. Undersheriff Graham became sure the explosions were caused by dynamite, smelling sulfur and finding tape for blasting caps. A landowner reported seeing a man leaving the mesa before the blast. O. J. Brittion of the Albuquerque Seismological Center doubted explosions in Gallup could be heard so far away. A seismograph at Chaco Canyon recorded two disturbances, one at 5:30 p.m. and another at 7:05 p.m., which originated in northern New Mexico or southern Colorado. Larry Jaksha, a geophysicist, noted similar disturbances recorded elsewhere. Tom Graves of the FAA stated there was no record of aircraft near Gallup. He doubted meteors would be detected if they fell between radar sweeps. Air Force officials could not verify military planes in the area. A spokeswoman for Edwards Air Force Base mentioned many military aircraft. Crux personnel visited Chaco Canyon and learned that a tremendous boom and vibration were felt there, with military involvement and instructions not to release information.

Mrs. Cheryl Meyers reported increased military activity (planes and helicopters) for about a week after the January 12th incident. Crux spoke with a man near Thoreau who noticed military choppers. Mr. Meyers, a truck driver, observed "a lot of activity" along the plateau, with roads blocked off. They suspected a military aircraft crash or explosion near fuel facilities. Mrs. Meyers described the booms as having a "different tone," sounding like they came from the ground, not the air, and lasting too long to be sonic booms. They believed it was a military experiment gone awry. Jack Graham, interviewed later, thought it was a coincidence of several events, including meteors and dynamite. He described the difficulty of reaching the fire scene and finding dead trees pushed off the mesa edge, set on fire. He also found dynamite stashes. He did not believe it was a military experiment, noting jets breaking the sound barrier. He heard more blasts and then jet trails. The military assured John McBreen there were no fly-over tests. Undersheriff Graham also saw "green fireballs." "Carl," a law enforcement resident, felt an explosion and saw a "big ball of fire" that he thought was a missile. He estimated it was 10 miles southwest and lasted 10 minutes. He also experienced a noxious odor. Law enforcement searched the area Carl estimated as the "fire site" but found nothing.

This section discusses meteor falls, fireballs, and unexplained phenomena, noting their juxtaposition on January 12, 1983. Rumors from reliable sources suggest mis-or-dis-information was injected to obscure a "highly sensitive 'truth'." The "fire site" east of Gallup is suggested to be a diversion for a "Top Secret" operation involving a crashed experimental military device or an extraterrestrial craft. The primary crash site is suggested to be near Chaco Canyon, followed by a "retrieval" operation and transport to Kirtland Air Force Base. Reports of "silver spheres" in the Gallup area and harassment of independent investigators are mentioned. The article then presents a chronological list of similar events from August 1982 to January 1983:

• August 15, 1982 (Fremont County, Idaho): Witnesses saw an object with flashing lights explode over the Snake River, with campers retrieving rock pieces.
• Late August 1982 (Belleville, Illinois): Metal objects shaped like "E" fell from the sky.
• September 1982 (San Angelo, Texas): Hot debris from "flashes" fell onto parts of San Angelo.
• Late September 1982 (Hutchinson Island, Florida): Teenagers discovered a 7-pound chunk of what was thought to be a meteorite on the beach.
• October 14, 1982 (Dallam & Hartley Counties, Texas): An earthquake was felt, described as like a sonic boom.
• November 8, 1982 (Wethersfield, Connecticut): A softball-sized rock crashed into a living room.

This page continues the chronological list of incidents. It details the Santa Monica, California incident with a large chunk of ice falling through a roof, attributed to ice from an airliner's wing. The Macae, Brazil incident describes a "mysterious metallic cylinder" falling onto a house, with speculation it was from Cosmos 1402 or a flying saucer. The Reading, England incident reports a "ball of fire" falling and starting a field fire, with speculation it was not extraterrestrial. Remains were examined by Home Office forensic experts. In Douglas County, Colorado, "large green objects" were sighted, with NORAD receiving similar reports from Kansas but no specific reports from Douglas County. Near Clovis, New Mexico, a black object struck a station wagon, described as metallic and possibly a drone or RPV. The Eastern Tennessee/Georgia/North Carolina incident describes a bright white ball of light with a fiery tail and "loud explosions," with witnesses estimating its altitude and size. The Galveston, Texas incident reports six green lights seen over East Beach.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes throughout this issue of CRUX are unexplained aerial phenomena (UFOs/UAPs), mysterious explosions and sonic booms, unusual physical traces, and potential government secrecy or cover-ups. The magazine presents a wide range of anecdotal evidence, witness testimonies, and news reports, often juxtaposing official explanations with more speculative theories. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry into these phenomena, encouraging readers to consider possibilities beyond conventional explanations, as suggested by the title "Maybe Chicken Little Was Right!" and the inclusion of "Forteana" and "Quirky Notions."

This issue of CRUX, identified as issue number 16 and dated 1985, delves into a collection of unexplained phenomena, primarily focusing on UFO sightings and mysterious sonic booms reported throughout the 1980s. The magazine, published by Thomas R. Adams, presents a detailed chronicle of these events, alongside speculative discussions on UFO propulsion and theological interpretations of extraterrestrial contact.

UFO Sightings and Mysterious Booms

The issue meticulously documents various incidents across the United States and beyond. In Galveston, Texas, on January 30, 1983, witnesses reported lights moving over the Gulf. New Orleans, Louisiana, on February 10, 1983, saw a glowing red object fall onto a university campus. Lake County, Ohio, experienced a loud, unexplained boom on February 19, 1983, which the FAA ruled out as a sonic boom. Craighead County, Arkansas, reported a 'ball of fire' on February 20, 1983, with no ground evidence found. The Mississippi Gulf Coast was rocked by explosions on February 26, 1983, possibly linked to sonic booms. Wyoming reported a search for a downed aircraft on April 7, 1983, following explosions and smoke. New York experienced unexplained tremors in Oswego County on December 5, 1983, and 'thunderous claps of sound' in Onondaga County on December 8, 1983. Arkansas reported 'big bangs' across its northern region on December 22, 1983, and a loud boom in the Fayetteville-Springdale area on December 28, 1983. Further incidents include a 'house-jarring boom' in Anniston, Alabama, on March 25, 1985, and a loud boom in central Arkansas on March 29, 1985. Southeastern US witnessed a fireball on March 24, 1985. Las Vegas, Nevada, reported unexplained tremors and orange lights in the fall of 1984. Southern Texas experienced a flashing explosion/sonic boom on November 4, 1984. Vancouver, British Columbia, reported a large boom on February 26, 1984. Wisconsin saw an 'icy blue glob' plummet to the ground on May 20, 1984. Arkansas and Texas reported a 'fireball, brilliant flash and an explosion' on July 4, 1984.

UFO Propulsion Theories

The magazine explores the concept of UFO propulsion, highlighting the work of Thomas Townsend Brown and his research into electrostatic voltages and electrodes. The article suggests that this principle could be applied to develop a thrust system similar to that ascribed to UFOs, referencing Brown's patent and his interest in 'telluric electricity' or 'petrovoltaics'.

Salvador Freixedo's Controversial Views

A significant portion of the issue is dedicated to the work of ex-Jesuit ufologist Salvador Freixedo, whose books are described as highly important for understanding ufology. Freixedo's arguments, presented in Spanish, suggest that Jehovah was not God but an extraterrestrial entity who 'adopted' the Hebrew tribes. He posits that these entities demand blood and entrails, evidenced by animal mutilations. Freixedo also argues that 'bad' spirits use human pain, tension, and excitement, often generated by religions and patriotism, for their purposes. He controversially suggests that figures like Gabriel and Mohammed were contacted by these beings, and that UFOs are a means for these entities to obtain blood and energy. Freixedo's views on the afterlife and his critiques of religious fanaticism are also discussed.

Other Phenomena and Features

The issue also touches upon 'Zooddities', including reports of a 'birdman' near San Diego in 1975 and unusual 'faunal falls' such as starfish and fish raining down in Minneapolis and Fort Worth, Texas, in 1985. A brief mention of killer bees' northward trek is also included.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The recurring themes in this issue are the persistent presence of unexplained aerial phenomena and mysterious sounds, the exploration of alternative scientific and spiritual explanations, and a critical examination of religious narratives in light of potential extraterrestrial contact. The editorial stance appears to be one of open inquiry, presenting diverse accounts and theories, even those that are controversial or challenge conventional beliefs. The concluding quote by Hunter S. Thompson, "When the going gets tough, the weird turn pro," encapsulates the magazine's willingness to explore the unconventional.

CRUX is a magazine focused on unexplained phenomena, cryptozoology, and Fortean topics. This issue, Volume 3, Issue 20, dated February 1986, features a cover story titled "The Abajo Bushman: A Singular Creature In Utah" and an article titled "A Texas Skyfall?". The magazine also includes a section on "Uncommon Claims - Unguaranteed Observations" and an article defining "The Education of the Xenologist".

The Abajo Bushman: A Singular Creature In Utah

This article details an encounter in October 1959 with a creature described as the "Abajo Bushman" by two deer hunters, John Paul Ingram and Bill Bowman, in the Abajo Mountains of Utah. Ingram, a professional guide and animal trapper, provides a detailed account of seeing the creature cross an old mining road. He describes it as being about 4 to 4.5 feet tall, weighing 70-80 pounds, with short, smokey black or blue hair, short human-like ears, and a face similar to a human's without a protruding nose or mouth. The animal walked upright, without using its hands, at a pace faster than a man. Ingram emphasizes his extensive experience in the wilderness and his certainty that this was an unknown animal. He recounts that the creature stopped and looked at them from about 12 feet away before disappearing into the sage brush off the road. His companion, "Bill Bowman", was frightened and urged them to leave. Ingram states that he has never seen anything he couldn't explain, with this being the sole exception, and is willing to take a lie detector test to verify his account. The story was later related to C.B. Wiley, a Justice of the Peace, who witnessed Ingram's written statement.

A Texas Skyfall?

This section investigates an event that occurred on Tuesday, July 12th, 1983, in a pasture near Bynum, Hill County, Texas. A farmer discovered two "punctures" or holes, about 30 feet apart, each in the center of a "roughed up" area about five feet in diameter. One hole was 30-36 inches deep, while the other was filled with loose dirt. The farmer initially suspected seismological testing or lightning, but ruled these out. A soil sample reportedly contained low-level radiation. Officials from Baylor University's Strecker Museum and the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History, including Calvin Smith, David Lintz, Margaret Graham, and John Williams, investigated the site. Initial media reports suggested a meteorite impact, but experts, particularly John Williams, expressed skepticism due to the nature and depth of the holes, stating that meteors typically don't create craters upon impact and that an untilled pasture wouldn't be that soft. A radiation specialist from the Bureau of Radiation Control tested the area and declared it safe. Further investigation, including digging with a backhoe, revealed that one hole was cylinder-like, about 8 inches across at the top and narrowing as it descended about a yard. Lintz described it as possibly auger-type, while Zettler, the farmer, noted a "white substance" in the hole, which the lab analysis identified as discolored soil. The second disturbed area had cracks but no well-defined holes. The hole at the first site was also found to extend at an angle. The investigation found no trace of anything meteoric. The article also mentions that about three nights before the discovery, two neighbors reported hearing a roaring noise and seeing a bright flash of light, suggesting a possible connection.

Uncommon Claims - Unguaranteed Observations

This section presents a series of brief, unverified claims and observations:

• FAA No-Man's Lands: A claim that the Federal Aviation Administration maintains "no-man's lands" near Waterloo, Iowa, where aerial tests are conducted without FAA jurisdiction or enforcement.
• Dave Barry's Useless Species List: A humorous suggestion by columnist Dave Barry to establish a list of "Useless Species" for the government to endanger.
• Rendlesham Forest Case/Bentwaters Affair: Mentions the significant UFO incident in England, noting the book "Skycrash" by Butler, Street, and Randles and investigative reports by Chuck de Caro on CNN. It also references a PBS documentary titled "When The World Was Wide" which reportedly shows two UFOs on film.
• Barneveld Tornado: A brief mention of a tornado in Wisconsin where a driver's license was found 100 miles away, while the wallet remained intact.
• Clear Intent: Recommends the book "Clear Intent" by Lawrence Fawcett and Barry J. Greenwood, which reportedly details government documents on UFOs and a cover-up. Autographed copies are available from Unicorn Limited.
• Moonwalking Astronaut: An anecdote about a former moonwalking astronaut allegedly discussing UFO sightings made during his mission, but later refusing to acknowledge the conversation.
• Scott Air Force Base Data Bank: A query about Scott Air Force Base in Illinois allegedly possessing a massive computerized data bank of UFO information.
• Mojave Spires: A question about the origin of 5,000 cone or pyramid-shaped objects made of clay and talc discovered in a dry lake bed in California's Mojave Desert in 1975, and whether an explosion over the lake bed at that time was related to a "Cristo project".

The Education of the Xenologist

Authored by Kim L. Neidigh, this article defines xenology as the scientific study of strange and unexplained phenomena. It categorizes xenological anomalies into three types: psychological, physical, and those involving the interaction of the psyche with the environment. The author stresses that a xenologist should be a "Renaissance man" with broad knowledge across various fields. A list of topics within human knowledge that a xenologist should be familiar with is provided, including religion, philosophy, psychology, anthropology, archaeology, sociology, astronomy, physics, chemistry, geology, meteorology, biology, and history. The article emphasizes the importance of a well-stocked library and being prepared for any information that may be vital to an investigation.

Recurring Themes and Editorial Stance

The magazine expresses a strong interest in UFO phenomena, cryptozoology, and other unexplained or Fortean events. The editorial stance is one of open investigation and a desire to uncover the truth behind these phenomena, even if the explanations are unconventional. The publication welcomes contributions from readers in the form of articles, essays, and letters, offering a lifetime subscription as compensation. The editors apologize for a delay in publication and announce that future issues may be "theme" issues, with a potential focus on Stigmata (animal mutilations) and possibly a "theme" issue in 1986. The magazine also notes trends in popular culture, such as the prevalence of science fiction and fantasy books on bestseller lists and upcoming Hollywood productions related to science fiction and UFOs.

The magazine also includes a list of top ten best-selling fiction books from a February 7, 1983, Time Magazine edition, noting that seven of them were science fiction or fantasy tomes. It also mentions a motion picture based on the "Aurora (Texas) Airship Crash" of 1897 and upcoming TV shows like "The Twilight Zone" and "Amazing Stories".

Finally, the magazine provides contact information for various publications and organizations related to UFOs and Fortean studies, including MUFON, APRO, and The Fortean Times. It also references books like "The Rebirth of Pan" and "Mysterious America", and mentions a new book by Loren Coleman. The issue concludes with a call for reader opinions on the "3rd secret of Fatima" and a mention of the "Mars" special issue of Omni magazine.
