Man claims to have witnessed UFO crash, kept a souvenir made of 'extraterrestrial metals'

Making an extraordinary claim, a man in Los Angeles has said that he has seen aliens going back to their planets in a UFO after it crash-landed in the desert.

For those finding it difficult to believe, the man has been holding a piece of the spacecraft to prove his bizarre claim.

In an interview with CBS News, Jose Padilla said that he was just nine years old when he encountered the 'avocado-shaped' UFO in San Antonio,New Mexico. He added that he was accompanied by his friend on that day.

The two boys encountered the UFO at the Trinity nuclear test site, where the first nuclear bomb of the world was successfully tested by RobertOppenheimer and the Manhattan Project's other members in 1945.

When he heard the sound of the crash, Padilla said that he first thought it was another bomb test, while speaking to CBS News Los Angeles.

"I told my friend, 'it must be another test from the bomb' and he said, 'No, it's not a bomb, look at the smoke coming out of the ground,'' said Padilla.

After closer inspection, they found that the smoke is coming from a crashed aircraft.

Suddenly, three extraterrestrials came out of the aircraft and started "sashaying and running in circles. They had crashed at my father's ranch, and they needed help," he added.

How did the man manage to take a piece of UFO spacecraft?

Padilla said that the wreckage was cleaned up by the military in the next ten days as he and his friend watched the process from a ridge even though they were warned to stay away from the area.

Padilla said that he entered the aircraft with his friends when the soldiers took a break and the process of cleaning up the wreckage was halted.

The "extraterrestrials" were not there which gave the perfect opportunity to Padilla to take a souvenir from inside the spacecraft.

He took a small 'dial' off the wall and kept it hidden in his garage. The artefact was analysed by Ohio-based chemical testing lab Frontier Analysis in 2015.

In the report, it was revealed that the artefact had aluminium mixed with silicon and copper, as reported by CBS Los Angeles.

This kind of mix of metals is generally found in engine parts and the report said that isotopic ratios were terrestrial, however, it did not rule out the extraterrestrial source for the metals. "No one knows what it is," said Padilla.
