Alien Lore No. 105 - Alien stone/UFO Droppings (?) found near Seattle

A University of Washington (Seattle) aka U-dub research engineer Bill Beaty is about to test a piece of stone that was reportedly dropped from an alien spacecraft 60 years ago.

For many years, Philip Lipson and Charlette LeFevre, who run the Seattle Museum of the Mysteries, have been chasing a story that began in June 1947 when a government employee saw flying saucers only three days after a Tacoma man said UFOs had dropped metal and molten rock on his boat, the Seattle Post-Intelligencer reported earlier this week.

Lipson and LeFevre believe a B-52 bomber crashed 60 years ago while carrying slag from a UFO. A black chunk of rock is their best clue, and Beaty will test the rock this week.

"You can tell it's been liquid because it's all full of bubbles," said Beaty. "We have to look at the bedrock in the hill and see what's there. If it looks like that, then it's probably the same."
"If this is totally different than the bedrock that's there, then this will be very interesting," he added.

A B-25 bomber exploded and crashed twenty minutes after take off from McChord Field. The Bomber crashed near Kelso, Washington (one of the "tri-cities") after the left engine caught on fire.

A local newspaper article gave details about what happened aboard the plane. "Woodrow D. Matthews, crew chief of the bomber reported helping Davidson and Brown into their parachutes and that at the time he jumped, flames from the blazing left engine were pouring into the cockpit. It was reported that Brown was standing in the aisle ready to leave the plane ³ when Matthews himself jumped out. Brown was found at the crash site with his parachute harness on but had apparently returned to the cockpit. His body was found in the wreckage. Matthews related that the only reason he could see that the officers did not get out was that the left wing might have crumpled, trapping them in the plane. Woodrow D. Matthews, crew chief of the bomber who put the parachute on Sgt. Taff and saved his life was proposed for the Soldier's Medal. An FBI report states the left wing was found 125 yards from the plane impact site and likely fell off throwing the plane into a plummeting spin."

Kenneth Arnold received another call from Ted Morello who told him the B-25 bomber from Hamilton Field had been shot down by a 20mm cannon. The Tacoma Times headlines read

Sabotage Hinted in Crash of Army Bomber at Kelso
—Plane May Hold Flying Disk Secret—

The article by Paul Lance said the plane had been sabotaged or shot down to prevent shipment of flying disk fragments to Hamilton Field, California, for analysis. The disk parts were said by the informant to be those from one of the mysterious platters which plunged to earth on the Maury Island (see Alien Lore No. 104) recently. At McChord field, an intelligence officer confirmed the informants report that the B-25 Bomber had been carrying classified material.

In the Seattle Post Intelligencer August 3, 1947, an AP report states "Pieces not Located." Brig. Gen. Ned Schramm, chief of staff of the 4th Air Force said he knew nothing about reports that the plane was carrying classified or secret material. "As far as I know, the plane was supposed to come in here empty," he said, "and there wasn't a single, solitary, secret thing aboard".
