A man from Los Angeles claims that he witnessed aliens fleeing from a UFO after it crashed landed in the desert – and he has a piece of the spacecraft to prove it.
Jose Padilla was just a nine-year-old boy growing up in San Antonio, New Mexico, when he and his friend discovered the ‘avocado-shaped’ UFO.
To this day, he swears that what he witnessed was real.
The encounter occurred that very same year, and at first, Padilla thought the sound of the crash was just another bomb test, he told CBS News Los Angeles.
‘I told my friend, ‘it must be another test from the bomb’ and he said, ‘no, it’s not a bomb, look at the smoke coming out of the ground,” Padilla said.
Upon closer inspection, the smoke appeared to be coming from a crashed aircraft.
Then, all of a sudden, three extraterrestrials emerged from the aircraft and began ‘sashaying and running in circles,’ he said.
But Padilla wasn’t afraid of these creatures.
‘They had crashed at my father’s ranch, and they needed help,’ he said.
Over the next ten days, the military cleaned up the wreckage while Padilla and his friend watched from a nearby ridge, despite being warned to stay away.
