	The Aurora, Texas UFO Crash of 1897
		The state of Texas has always been called the "big state." This expression applies to many things, but is especially true regarding "tall tales." I have heard them all of my life, and sometimes it is difficult to separate truth from fiction.
		The town's history book labels the community as "the town that almost wasn't," and that expression is probably applicable to the legend of a spaceship crashing into a windmill, and the burial of a small alien creature found in the aftermath.
		For reasons unknown, the Aurora Cemetery Association fought the attempts to exhume the alleged alien body.

		A few days later, another UPI account datelined Aurora quoted a ninety-one-year-old who had been a girl of fifteen in Aurora at the time of the reported incident.
		She said she "had all but forgotten the incident until it appeared in the newspapers recently." She said her parents had gone to the sight of the crash, but had refused to take her along.
		The Aurora Cemetery Association was successful in blocking the attempts to dig up the grounds in search of the "Martian pilot." The incident will probably go underground again (pun intended) until its centennial in 1997 will bring another round of widespread press coverage.

	National Weather Service Forecast Office - Midland/Odessa Texas
		A rare and brilliant display of the Aurora Borealis (northern lights) was visible in the skies above West Texas and southeast New Mexico during the early morning hours of Wednesday October 29.
		Using images of the sun taken at multiple wavelengths from ground-based and satellite-based equipment, scientists estimated the shockwave from the blast was traveling towards earth at approximately 2100 km/sec (nearly 5 million mph), and would impact earth during the very early morning hours of October 29.
		Although this process is not unusual, the magnitude of energy associated with the flare resulted in the aurora display to be very widespread and visible well south into the middle and lower latitudes.
