Wiki Loves Monuments: Historic sites, photos, and prizes! Laredo, Texas UFO crash The Laredo, Texas UFO crash is a case in which at least two U.S. military aircraft allegedly chased a 90-foot-diameter (27 m) silver disc-shaped unidentified flying object (UFO) across Texas before watching the object crash approximately 30 miles (48 km) south-southwest of Laredo, Texas on July 7, 1948. U.S. servicemen were reportedly dispatched from a nearby military base to cordon off the UFO crash site until a special U.S. retrieval team arrived to examine the wreckage and carry it away to a military base in San Antonio, Texas. Supposedly, the badly burned body of a non-human entity was recovered from the crash site.[1]Texas Monthly magazine recently included the Laredo UFO Crash on a list of the eight most significant UFO cases in Texas history.[2] This case is said to have occurred almost exactly one year after the more famousRoswell UFO Incident. Rumors about this case first began circulating in the 1950s, although details were not widely known until 1977. This case shares similarities with the Del Rio, Texas UFO Crash of 1955 and theCoyame UFO Incident of 1974, both of which reportedly also occurred along the Texas-Mexico border.Map Showing Location of Alleged 1948 UFO Crash.
