Background

Incident

In 1946, an object from space is said to have crashed near Great Falls, Montana, USA. Military forces secured the wreck and transported it away. According to the reports, remains of extraterrestrial beings were also found and taken to Muroc Army Air Force Base (today Edwards AFB) in California.

Sources and Evidence

The information comes from a publication by James J. Hurtak in The UFO Register (December 1979). It is cited in works by Jerome Clark (page 343 and IV 379). This is an alleged recovery by the US military, without confirmed eyewitness accounts or physical evidence in the sources named.

Significance

The case belongs to the early reports of crashes of unknown objects predating the Roswell affair of 1947. It has fed speculation about military cover-ups and extraterrestrial technology, but remains unconfirmed and rests on secondary sources.
