In 1897 there were many sightings of great airships from California to
Texas. However the airplane would not be invented for another 6 years,
and neither had large dirigibles or blimps yet been flown. In Aurora,
Texas one such ship crashed into a windmill or tower and exploded. An
eyewitness said it was trailing smoke as it went down. It is reported
that local towns folk recovered a body from the wreckage which they
determined was not human, and suspected of being a Martian. They
buried the body in the town cemetery. They then disposed of the
wreckage down a well. Later the well was cleared a new owner of the
farm. He drank the water for twelve years, and his hands became
terribly deformed! Attempts have been made to exhume the body, and
examine the well, but necessary permissions have not been successfully
obtained. Bits of metal from an unusual aluminum-iron alloy have been
found at the reported crash site.

Why isn't the EPA examining the well to find out why the owner who drank
from it became deformed? Isn't it the EPA's job to examine wells that
are connected to sicknesses?

This all happened years ago before the EPA existed. The well has now
been sealed under a concrete slab, and the present owner does not want
people excavating on his property.

I suggest that SF fans be asked to donate money which would be used to pay the
well owner to allow the well to be examined, and pay the cemetary owner to
allow the body to be exhumed.
