About the Authors
Foreword
By William S. “Bill” Steinman
Well, once again, I was asked to write the foreword to Scott and Suzanne’s new
follow-up book on the Aztec Saucer case. As usual, their last book generated
new and more revealing facts to follow up on.
Scott continues to pick my brain, which is 30-some-plus years removed from
my own investigation. Scott admits that he is obsessively addicted to the Aztec
case. I was once addicted, but went into years of rehab.
Scott and Suzanne, as usual, left no stone unturned, following each new lead
to its very end. They must be congratulated for their very fine effort in solving
this many-faceted and many-layered puzzle called Aztec.
My own book, UFO Crash at Aztec, just scratched the surface, but it did
spark interest in the 1948 Aztec recovery all over again. I believe that the
Ramseys’ investigation will once again prove without the shadow of doubt that
an aircraft of unknown origin crash-landed on the rocky mesa 12 miles northeast
of Aztec, New Mexico, and was recovered by a covert team of military,
scientists, and security personnel and carted off to a top-secret base for analysis.
This new book may prove to be one of the most important ones written in the
21st century.
I once again commend the Ramseys on a job well done. Maybe now Scott can
get out from under the Aztec yoke of bondage and be free at last to pursue more
pleasurable endeavors.

Preface
By Stanton T. Friedman
Because I have been lecturing and writing about flying saucers for more than 40
years and am the original civilian investigator of the 1947 Roswell crashed
saucer incident, I am often asked about the supposed Aztec, New Mexico,
crashed flying saucer recovery. Early on I had accepted the common wisdom
that the Aztec story was just a myth. As I got to know Scott and Suzanne
Ramsey and had access to their extraordinary work, I became more and more
impressed. Their efforts are splendid examples of true research. As a nuclear
physicist working on classified research and development projects for major
companies for 14 years, I had ample time to evaluate scientific investigation.
Their work meets all the tests I can suggest. They have spent a truly enormous
amount of time, money, and effort to dig out new witnesses, relevant papers, and
evidence. They represent the epitome of persistence, honesty, and careful
investigation. They raise the false claims of UFO debunkers and carefully
demolish them. Frankly, I wish there were many UFO-related investigations
done as carefully and energetically. There is no question that an intelligently
controlled extraterrestrial spacecraft was recovered by agents of the government
of the United States near Aztec, New Mexico, in March 1948, and taken for
classified study and evaluation. This is a fascinating and carefully done exposé
well worth reading.

Introduction
On a crisp March morning in the high desert of northwest New Mexico, a goat
rancher leaves the comfort of his house and walks toward the corral to let the
sheep out to graze. As he opens the gate, he is stunned by a thunderous noise that
draws his attention to the sky. Overhead, he sees a large object fluttering as if in
distress. When it makes contact with a nearby cliff, sparks fly.
And so an incredible chain of events begin that will directly and indirectly
impact hundreds of people throughout the world.
When people ask me about the topic of our book, I say it is the documentation
of an historical event. Initially, I hesitate to use the words flying saucer, because
it is so much more. Our research is a compilation of work gathered for almost 29
years. In that time, we have traveled to more than 28 states; personally spent
$500,000; and archived 55,000 related documents from sources including the
United States Army, United States Air Force, FBI, and CIA, and directly from
the desk of J. Edgar Hoover. With our complete focus on the facts, our motive is
clear. We provide the evidence; you will come to your own conclusions.
A number of researchers, media members, and television producers have
encouraged us to sensationalize and speculate on the details of this event. That is
not the path that we have chosen. The purity of this Incident is so spectacular
that there is no need to alter or embellish it.
There are certain terms that lose their impact through misuse and overuse.
Conspiracy and cover-up are good examples. However, in the case of the Aztec
Incident, these terms are part of a factual description and are documented as
such.
During this investigative journey, we share the compelling story of the
witnesses to a proved flying saucer landing and recovery, of scientists who
worked on the craft, and of the individuals involved in the cover-up in the years
since 1948. Finally, we document the astounding and enduring impact of the
incident on their lives and on ours.
We are dedicated to accurately telling this powerful story, and it is our honor
to present it to the reader.
