The plot unveiled

A violent impact with a car leaves Ellis Landis unconscious and bleeding on a dark desert road, and the driver is shocked to find the man naked, with nothing more than a strange metal device clutched in his hands.

The device, for some unexplainable reason, meant everything.

After waking in the hospital, Landis finds he has lost his memory. As events continue to unfold around him, he senses his life is in danger. Doctor Elisha Sienna, guided by sinister military forces, tries to recover his memory and gain access to the earth-shattering secret that is locked in his mind. But she is not alone. A radical terrorist group—The Enigma—wants their key holder back.

Again the word exploded in his mind – Enigma – it meant everything and nothing all at once. The whole thing was an enigma, a riddle he had to solve. He was sure he was part of something bigger, something important and that he and the device were at the heart of it.

While fleeing from a set of bizarre experiments and violent torture, Ellis slowly recovers the dark secrets of his paranoid mind—secrets that could mean the difference between life and death for all humankind.

LOCATION:

The story is centred around the small town of Kingman Arizona. A town that has seen its fair share of strange incidents over the years.

Kingman, Arizona UFO Crash

May 20, 1953

In 1953, Arthur G. Stancil was a project engineer on an Air Force contract with the Atomic Energy Commission for something called "Operation Upshot-Knothole." His part in the operation involved the measuring of the effects of atomic blasts on various types of buildings that were especially erected on the proving grounds for the tests. On May 20, 1953, he spent most of the day doing just that at a site on the Nevada proving ground known as "Frenchman's Flats." He finished up for the day and went to his quarters, expecting another routine evening. However, his daily routine was a bout to be broken. On that evening, he received a call from his superior, Test Director Dr. Ed Doll, ordering him to go on a special mission the next day. May 21.
Arthur worked within what was known as the Air Material Command Installations Division, for the Office of Special Studies headed by Dr. Eric Wang, out of Wright-Patterson AFB. His specialties at that particular time included the engineering design of Air Force engine test cells, development techniques for determining blast effects on buildings and structures, and aircraft landing gear design. No slouch, Arthur worked his way up to become chief of alighting devices in the aircraft laboratory, Wright Air Development Center; which from there led him up to management positions at Wright-Patterson AFB.
On May 21, Arthur worked at Frenchman's Flats until 4:30 PM, at which time he reported for his mysterious special assignment. He was driven to nearby Indian Springs AFB where he found that about fifteen other specialists had also been ordered to report for special assignment. At the base, they were ordered to leave all of their valuables for safekeeping, then they were flown by military aircraft to Phoenix, Arizona.
At Phoenix, Arthur and the others were loaded into a bus with blacked-out windows and driven for four hours to an undisclosed location. Arthur felt that the location was near Kingman, Arizona. During the trip, they were told by an Air Force Colonel, that a top-secret Air Force Test Vehicle had crashed and that since they were all specialists in certain fields, they were to investigate the crash in terms of their own specialty and nothing more.
When the bus finally stopped, the men exited one at a time as their names were called, and they were then escorted by military police to the area that they were to inspect.

Kingman
Part 2: The Investigation

Near Kingman, Arizona
May 21, 1953
At the site, two spotlights were centered on a crashed object that was encircled by security guards. The lights were so bright that while standing in front of them, it was impossible to see the surrounding area. The object was oval and looked like two deep saucers, one inverted atop the other. It was about thirty feet in diameter with convex surfaces, top and bottom. These surfaces were about twenty feet in diameter.
The force of impact had buried the object about twenty inches into the ground. It was constructed of a dull silver metal like brushed aluminum. The metal was darker where the saucer "lips" formed a rim, around which were what looked like slots. A curved open hatch door was located on the leading end and was open. There was a light coming from the inside, but it could have been placed there by the Air Force.
Arthur's particular job was to determine the vertical and horizontal speed at which the object had hit the earth from the angle and the depth to which it had buried itself in the sand. There was no visible landing gear. Arthur saw no marks or dents on the surface--not even scratches.
The military personnel present refused to answer any questions that were not pertinent to the questioner's particular area of specialization and they closely watched Arthur an dthe others. In spite of being closely watched, Arthur later said that he briefly glimpsed a four-foot-long human-looking body in a silvery metallic suit inside a closely guarded tent.
As each person finished his part of the investigation, he was debriefed by officers with a tape recorder and then escorted back to the bus. Another member of the group told Arthur that he had gotten a look inside the object and had seen two swivel-like seats as well as instruments and displays. One of the guards, noticing them talking together, separated them and warned them not to talk to each other.
After the group had all returned to the bus, the Air Force Colonel in charge had them raise their right hands and take an oath not to reveal what they had seen. They were instructed to write their reports in longhand and not to type them or to keep any copies. A telephone number was given to them to call when their report was complete. Later, when Arthur called the number, an airman came and picked up the report.
Much later, Arthur recognized a Colonel working with Project Bluebook as the same Colonel who had been in charge at the crash site.
Arthur first told his story to Jeff Young and Paul Chetham in 1971. Arthur's story came to the attention of ufologist Raymond Fowler, who interviewed him in 1976 and published the interview in "Official UFO" magazine. Arthur also gave Fowler a signed affadavit stating that the story was true, and Fowler used the pseudonym "Fritz Werner" to protect Arthur's identity. Raymond Fowler also reported the case in his 1981 book "Casebook of a UFO Investigator."
Fowler was apparently able to verify to his satisfaction that Arthur held degees in mathematics and physics and a Master's degree in engineering. Arthur also claimed to have later worked as a consultant to Project Bluebook, which Fowler was not able to verify. Arthur also apparently worked for Raytheon in Sudbury, Massachusetts in the early seventies on avionics systems. The existence of "Operation Upshot-Knothole" is a fact, as well as the existence of Dr. Ed Doll and Dr. Eric Wang. Friends of Arthur reported to Fowler that he was a man of integrity, not given to exaggeration.
Corroboration of Arthur Stancil's story has been difficult to obtain. Some sources have mentioned 1948 as the date of a Kingman UFO crash, and at least one (Robert Dean) gives a date of 1972! There have been a few stories here and there that seem to corroborate a Kingman crash, notably the recent testimony of US Marine Corps Captain Bill Uhouse of the "Disclosure Project."

Kingman UFO crash : Second account

Though considered a hoax by some UFO investigators, there is an interesting account of a UFO crash that comes to us from Arizona. The facts are certainly worth a look. Famed researcher Raymond Fowler first broke the details of this event of May 20, 1953 in 1973, although it was known to UFO investigator Richard Hall as early as 1964. Fowler stated that his information came from engineer "Fritz Werner," later identified as Arthur G. Stancil.
Stancil graduated from Ohio University in 1949 and was first employed by Air Material Command at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio as a mechanical engineer on testing Air Force aircraft engines. Dr. Eric Wang, who was suspected of leading a reverse engineering team on alien craft, headed the Installations Division within the Office of Special Studies where Arthur worked. Stancil signed a legal affidavit vouching to the honesty of his testimony, which was released by Ray Fowler in UFO Magazine, April 1976. He was working for a company that had a government contract at a nuclear site in Nevada. He was summoned by his boss on 5-21-53, and sent on a "secret" assignment.
After being flown to Phoenix, Arizona, he was placed on a bus with blacked out windows, and taken to a point some four hours drive northwest of the city of Phoenix proper. The location was supposedly near the city of Kingman, Arizona.
The bus was full of passengers, none of whom Stancil knew, and would not know, as they were told not to communicate with each other. Arriving at their secret destination, two military light-alls illuminated a surreal scene in the late night, pre-dawn skies of the desert. The engineer was amazed to see a disc-shaped craft embedded into the sand. Stancil estimated its diameter to be about 30 feet. Military personnel surrounded the aluminum-like craft, which was brought down by either an internal explosion, or was hit by military rockets, Stancil surmised. The wound was easily seen, a gaping hole in its side.
Stancil's duty was to calculate the speed of the craft, a task he quickly discharged. Afterwards, the tense atmosphere of the group of investigators began to loosen some, and he began to glean details from some of the other personnel assigned to this "off the record" mission. He was told of a small cabin inside the craft, and very small chairs. He did not get to look into the unknown craft himself. He was taken back when he peeked into a nearby medical tent. Inside was the small body of a "creature," about 4 foot tall. He asserts that the alien was wearing a type of skull cap, and a silver suit. The suit seemed to be seamless. Soon the investigation was called to a halt, and the members summoned to leave the area.
Back on the bus, all of the members of the assignment were ordered to sign the "official secrets" act, and were warned not to discuss what they had seen with anyone. Before bringing the crash story to other UFO groups, Fowler did a thorough background check on Stancil, and was satisfied to his authenticity, and personal integrity. Fowler also was persuaded beyond doubt as to the ability of Stancil to do his job, as he came forward with great knowledge of his field and occupation. There was additional confirmation to the validity of the Arizona crash. Personnel at Wright Patterson AFB claimed to have been witness to the delivery from a "crash site" in Arizona. These witnesses claimed to have seen "three small bodies packed in dry ice." The beings were reported as being about 4 foot tall, with large heads, and brownish skin color.
The time of the delivery perfectly coincided with the events put forth by Stancil. Unfortunately, the military personnel could not make their names public. Fowler maintains that several other witnesses have come forward in the years following the incident, but the lack of other facts, and other testimony leave the case lacking somewhat. Possibly one day more evidence will be revealed on this alleged UFO crash in the desert of Arizona.

1953 May 20, Kingman Arizona UFO crash:

Courtesy of: http://ufologie.net

It has been published that a UFO crashed on the 20th May 1953 near the desert town of Kingman, Arizona. One witness signed an affidavit.

THE STORY:
The earliest reference of a crash near Kingman has been made to MUFON researcher Richard Hall in April 1964. He was told the story by a future Vietnam commander.
The case of the Kingman UFO retrieval was then brought to the public attention by Raymond Fowler, a respected UFO researcher, in June 1973. It involved an engineer who took preliminary measurements to assess the momentum of a crashing craft, measurements useful to any reverse engineering efforts. The engineer who brought this story to light was Arthur G. Stancil (previously known by the pseudonym "Fritz Werner"). Stancil graduated from Ohio University in 1949 and was first employed by Air Material Command at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base in Dayton, Ohio as a mechanical engineer on testing Air Force aircraft engines. Dr. Eric Wang who was suspected of leading a reverse engineering team on alien craft headed the Installations Division within the Office of Special Studies where Arthur worked.

Stancil signed a legal affidavit vouching to the honesty of his testimony, who has been was released by Ray Fowler in UFO Magazine, April 1976.
Stancil told that he was loaned out to the Atomic Energy Commission and was designated as a project engineer on some atomic bomb tests referred to as "Operation Upshot Knothole". The location of these tests was at Frenchman's Flats at the southern end of the Nevada Test Site. The test director was a Dr. Ed Doll.
On May 21, 1953 Stancil was called away by his boss told to report for a special assignment at the Indian Springs Air Force Base where he was joined by 15 other specialists. They were flown by military plane to Phoenix where they boarded a bus with blacked-out windows and rode for an estimated four hours. When they arrived at their destination somewhere southeast of Kingman in one of the washes of the Hulapai Mountains, they were met and briefed by an Air Force Colonel who told them they were to investigate the crash of a super-secret test vehicle. He and the others on the bus were told not to speak to each other under any circumstances. Stancil's job was to determine the forward and vertical velocities of the vehicle when it impacted in the sand.
Stancil was escorted to the site by military police. Two military arc-lights illuminated the saucer, which appeared to be two convex oval plates inverted over each other approximately 30 feet in diameter. The saucer was embedded in the sand about 20 inches. From this Stancil had determined that the saucer crashed at a velocity of 100 knots yet it had not dents, marks, or scratches on its burnished aluminum surface. It was constructed of dull silver metal like brushed aluminum. Another specialist had gotten a look inside the craft as a 1.5 x 3.5 foot hatch was open revealing an oval interior cabin with two swivel seats and many instruments. Stancil saw one body recovered from the crash. It was humanoid, about 4 feet tall, with brown skin and wearing a silver-metallic flight suit.
Whilst they were back on the bus and being taken back they were made to sign the 'Official Secrets' act and was told never to tell anyone about this incident. Stancil also claims to have seen the body of a small creature about 4ft tall inside a small medical tent. The creature was wearing a skull-cap and a silver one-piece suit.
Fowler made several check as to the integrity of Stancil and everyone who knew him said that he was a man of considerable integrity and scientific ability.
Another story supporting the crash near Kingman came to UFO researcher Len Stringfield in 1977. A man who was in the National Guard at Wright Patterson claimed that he was witness to a delivery from a 'crash site in Arizona' in 1953. He said that 3 bodies had been recovered and were packed in dry ice, 4ft tall, large heads and brownish skin.
Since then several other witnesses have come forward, but I do not have detailed information yet:
An almost identical story was reported to researcher Charles Wilhelm in 1966 by a man who said that his father had told him the story as a death-bed confession.
In 1995 a man who went by the code name of Jarod-2 contacted the Internet publication The Groom Lake Desert Rat (http://www.ufo- mind.com/area51/desert_rat) and told them he had worked for the USAF on a secret project that was an attempt to build a flying saucer simulator. The project had started at the end of the 1940s and had collected material from the crash sites at Roswell and Kingman.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Stancil worked for Raytheon in Sudbury, Massachusetts in the early seventies on avionics systems. It is unknown as to whether he had further involvement with alien technology, especially since it is likely that he worked for Dr. Wang at some point. Dr. Wang was an Austrian-born graduate of the Vienna Technical Institute, and close associate of Victor Schauberger who had according to the legend developed a concept of a flying disc and allegedly worked on the German flying disc program as early as 1941. Wang taught structural and metallurgical engineering at the University of Cincinnati from 1943 to 1952. Dr. Wang supposedly examined some of the recovered crashed discs and compared them to the vehicles tested in the alleged German V-7 program, but found the retrieved craft to be different in nature. In 1949, he became Director of the Department of Special Studies at Wright-Patterson where he worked long hours in cooperation with scientists from the Office of Naval Research and with Dr. Vannevar Bush and others from the "Research and Development Board." Dr. Wang relocated his research from Wright-Patterson to Kirtland AFB in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Dr. Wang passed away on December 4, 1960.
Curiously, Leonard Stringfield, who re-opened the case for crash-retrievals, mentioned testimony he had gotten from a Naval Intelligence Officer who had seen bodies from a crash that occurred in the Arizona desert in 1953. He viewed the bodies at Wright-Patterson when the crates arrived at night aboard a DC-7. There were five crates in all, three of which contained little humanoids about four feet tall. Their heads were hairless and disproportionately large with skin that looked brown under the hangar lights. They were wearing tight-fitting dark suits. It has been suggested by some researchers that these bodies could have come from the crash mentioned by Stancil.

COMMENTS:
A researcher adds:
"There were only two seats in the craft. As always there are more questions, but no one to question about these events unless someone else who was a participant steps forward with their testimony."
Indeed Stancil was a participant and did step forward with an affidavit. The Vietnam commander who told the story in 1964 is an interesting lead. Of course, if additional witness stepped forward, the case would appear even more serious. There are indications of another Arizona UFO crash in 1953, April 18, from which the 3 bodies mentioned in Springfield's story might have come.
A researcher adds:
"Strange as it seems it was during the 1950s that various aircraft companies started research projects on the control of gravity and electro-gravitational propulsion. It is possible that these projects constituted some of the first reverse engineering projects on extraterrestrial propulsion systems."
But we have seen no positive results. Of course Air Intelligence had to try reverse engineering, and maybe promoted such research projects, but it was bound to fail: to understand such advanced flying machine would require a full understanding of the physics, and technology to manufacture the parts. If you had provided the Space Shuttle to Orville and Wilbur Wright, they would have learned nothing useful from it. Unless... you would have explained the physics and provided the technology also. Something to think about.
