The Aztec, New Mexico 'crash' is an alleged 1948 recovery of a flying saucer with alien bodies, popularized by Frank Scully's 1950 book 'Behind the Flying Saucers'. It was exposed as a hoax originating with con men Silas Newton and Leo GeBauer. It is widely regarded as fabricated, though it persists in crash-retrieval lore alongside Roswell.
