'We heard this sound and the ground shook,' Baca said in one interview. 'We saw smoke coming from maybe a couple of canyons down... We worked our way down the ridge.
'There was a gouge in the earth as long as a football field, and a circular object at the end of it..
He said he could feel the heat from the crash 'through the soles of your shoes'. Baca said he picked up a piece of foil-like metal that sprung back to its original shape when folded.
'Strange-looking creatures were moving around inside,' he added. 'They looked under stress. They moved fast, as if they were able to will themselves from one position to another in an instant. They were shadowy and expressionless, but definitely living beings.
'They had big bulgy eyes. Four foot tall, and they were real thin, needle-thin arms… Their heads looked like a campamocha [praying mantis].
'They seemed like us – children, not dangerous. But we were scared and exhausted.
The boys fled home on their horses and told Padilla's father what they had seen. Faustino Padillo told them it probably belonged to the Army and to ignore it. But they persuaded him to check out the site two days later with state policeman Eddie Apodaca.
Baca and Padillo said the 'craft' was still there, but the debris was gone, the object covered with dirt, and the ground appeared to have been raked.
The next day an Army sergeant named Avila, showed up at the ranch, asking Faustino if they could cut out his fence, put in a gate and grade a road to the crash site for a tractor-trailer, Baca said.
'We have one of our experimental weather balloons that inadvertently fell on your property,' Baca remembered the sergeant saying.

Maybe the US government could re-investigate the Kennedy assassination, too?
That kid looks thin compared to today’s kids.
So that’s where the idea of ‘little green men’ came from........................🤔
When I was a kid in the 60’s we had two fat kids in class and they came from fat families.
All other kids were normal.........................
Swamp gas
Who cares about these extra terrestrial? We’ve got millions of aliens invading our country right now!
“Joe Padilla pictured as a kid. He kept his story about the crash a secret for over fifty years”
I am not going to sell my story till 75 years.
They cannot “chut up” the Mexicans any longer?
It was just a flying taco stand!
“He kept his story about the crash a secret for over fifty years”
Kind of explains why his “aliens” look like the image that was popularized in the mid-90s.
Strong as an ox though I’ll bet. Able to run like the wind too. Tough guy.
But they make great guacamole!
Air Force tower: “what’s that you say? You saw a UFO? We’ll be right over. By the way, do have any tortilla chips, or should pick up a bag on the way?”
Where is Mork?

Healthy compared to them also. Just IMHO.
When I joined the Navy in 1988, I was 5’11” and weighed 140 lbs. I gained about 10 lbs in boot camp - regular exercise and 3 meals a day do that after all.
That looks like my friend Flicka.
Your comment is funny But so sad. Every other country in the world protects their borders. Most are Mexicans looking for a better life, BUT Gawd knows who is coming across with them under that guise. Vote in a senile old man and our country loses big time. The only thing keeping Biden in office IMO is we’d be stuck with his chosen Vice President, who is Biden’s insurance to remain stuck with him. We desperately need changes made in the process for choosing Presidents and Vice Presidents...just a basic test for health and IQ might do it for starters.
Anyone put bids in for Biden?.
Another hundred million tax dollars down the crapper.
Indeed most wouldn’t know a horse form a cow only know how to text for answer.
