The government of the United States has long been under the radar for allegedly hiding something unknown related to the UFOs and aliens.

Now, the 1947UFO crash, which took place in New Mexico and left the world shocked, has again resurfaced after recently leaked government texts revealed that there was more to it than what was known to the people.

The partially redacted communication was posted on social media and a top-ranking intelligence official was noted as saying that people would be “slack-jawed” to know the complete truth.

How did the UFO crash in 1947 left onlookers puzzled?

“It’s very rare to have multiple witnesses, multiple sources of information, confirming an incident like this,” said Preston Dennett, who is the author of “UFOs Over Arizona: A True History of Extraterrestrial Encounters in the Grand Canyon State", while speaking to local channel 12News.

In another interview with AZ Central, Dennett said that the occurrence was “one of the best-verified UFO crashes in the United States.”

After many years, Dennett has found traces of the incident in the government's old reports and documents. He found that scientist Fritz Werner was frequently mentioned using a code name.

“We now know him to be Arthur Stansel,” said Dennett. “It was [Stansel’s] job to basically determine the speed of this object as it came down, based upon the gouge it made in the soil, and he estimated it was about 1200 miles per hour," he added.

In a conversation between former Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defence Christopher Mellon and another official, the latter reportedly said that people would be “slack-jawed” when they found out what the government had found about the incident.

The government is also aware “who recovers crashed UAPs [unidentified anomalous phenomenal] under what authorities", he said.

“We’re vacuuming up info. We also know that a still highly classified memo by a Secretary of the [United States Air Force] is still in effect to maintain the cover on UAPs," read the partially redacted conversation.
