In rural Apache County, several people were living in a rural house near Concho and were sitting at a kitchen table when one of the men looked out from behind the kitchen table and, along with another woman, saw a bright streak of a UFO that had apparently crashed. 

Witnesses said the object left a trail of fire. They jumped into the jeep and raced to find the crashed object. They crossed State Highway 61 and drove along an old cattle trail and soon came across an elderly couple who had parked their white van on the side of the road, both standing on the street and looking out into the fields. They asked the witnesses if they had seen the UFO crash and told them they were going to try to find them. 

The elderly couple were driving west on Highway 61 towards Shaw Low when they saw the object fly past and appear to have crashed. Then the witnesses went to the place where, apparently, the object crashed. There were few trees in this area, few scattered cedars and junipers, and there were also many rocks and canyons.

After about an hour of driving, they reached a very deep canyon and could not go any further. Deep in this canyon, a UFO crashed. It was an oblong object in the shape of an egg. The color was strange - it was the color of Caucasian skin with a fading tan, and it glowed faintly. 

The glow was enough to illuminate the bottom of the canyon. At the front of the facility were two "columns" (for lack of a better word). These pillars could be placed on either side of the door, although the doorway was not visible. It was the size of a barn. Oddly enough, witnesses also saw a helicopter and a black pickup truck at the scene. 

They were baffled as to how the truck could have descended so quickly into a remote canyon, unless there was some road they really knew about. They watched the scene for a while, then left. 

Apparently, none of the witnesses ever returned to the scene of the alleged crash.

In rural Apache County several people were staying at a rural home near Concho and were sitting around the kitchen table when one of the men looked out the kitchen table and saw along with another woman a bright UFO streak by, apparently crashing. The witnesses said that the object left a wake of fire. They jumped into a jeep raced off in search for the crashed object. They crossed State Highway 61 and drove along an old cattle trail and soon came upon an elderly couple that had parked their white van on the side of the road, both were outside staring into the fields. They asked the witnesses if they had seen a UFO crash and they told them they were going to try to find them. The elderly couple had been driving westerly along Highway 61 toward Show Low when they saw the object streak by and appear to crash. The witnesses then drove to the area where the object had apparently crashed. This area had few trees, some scattered cedar and junipers and a lot of rock and canyons. After about an hour of driving they arrived at a very deep canyon and could drive no further. Deep in this canyon was the crashed UFO. It was an oblong, egg shape object. The color was strange—it was the color of Caucasian skin with a fading tan and it faintly glowed. The glow was sufficiently enough to illuminate the bottom of the canyon. There were two “pillars” (for lack of a better word) at the front of the object. These pillars may have been posted on either side of a door—although a doorway was not visible. It was about the size of a barn. Oddly the witnesses also saw a helicopter on the scene and a black pick up. They were baffled as to how the truck could have gotten down the remote canyon so quickly, unless there was some road that they did know about. They watched the scene for a while then left. Apparently none of the witnesses ever returned to the site of the alleged crash.
