A man from Los Angeles claimed he had a close encounter with a UFO and quickly fled the ship along with his incredible artifact.
A man from Los Angeles, Jose Padilla, claims to have witnessed aliens fleeing from a UFO after it crashed in the desert. He insists he has a piece of the spacecraft as proof of his extraordinary encounter.
A man claimed he discovered the UFO
At just nine years old, Padilla lived in San Antonio, New Mexico. One fateful day, he and a friend discovered an unusual, avocado-shaped UFO while horseback riding.
The encounter took place just 13 miles from the Trinity nuclear test site, where the first nuclear bomb was detonated in 1945.
Padilla initially mistook the sound of the crash for a bomb test. “I told my friend it must be another test,” he recalled. His friend, however, pointed out the smoke rising from the ground, indicating something unusual.
‘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.
Padilla revealed his extraterrestrial encounter with a UFO.
He reported spotting alien activity
Upon closer inspection, Padilla and his friend saw smoke coming from a crashed aircraft. Suddenly, three extraterrestrial beings emerged from the craft, moving in an odd manner.
Despite their strange appearance, Padilla felt no fear. “They had crashed at my father’s ranch, and they needed help,” he said.
For ten days, the military cleaned up the wreckage while Padilla and his friend watched from a nearby ridge.
They remained hidden behind cactuses, eager to learn more about the incident.
Padilla revealed the souvenir from the crash site
When the soldiers took a break, Padilla and his friend seized the opportunity to explore the aircraft. To their surprise, the extraterrestrials were gone. This gave Padilla the chance to take a small dial from inside the craft as a souvenir.
In 2015, the artifact was sent to Frontier Analysis, a chemical testing lab in Ohio. The analysis revealed that the dial contained aluminum mixed with silicon and copper.
These metals are commonly found in engine parts, and the isotopic ratios indicated a terrestrial origin. However, the report could not completely rule out an extraterrestrial source.
Padilla remained keep the secret artifactafter the encounter with UFO
As the years passed, Padilla moved to Rowland Heights, California. He quietly raised a family while holding onto the strange artifact from his childhood. The memory of that day remained etched in his mind.
In 2012, Padilla and his childhood friend were interviewed by UFO researcher Paola Harris.
Harris was investigating a claim made by the son of World War II pilot William Brophy.
Brophy’s son recalled that his father had flown over the area where Padilla witnessed the UFO crash. Harris believes that the two boys on horseback were Padilla and his friend.
Jose Padilla’s story of witnessing a UFO crash and meeting extraterrestrials is both fascinating and chilling. His unique artifact serves as a tangible reminder of that extraordinary day.
Despite the skepticism surrounding UFO claims, Padilla remains steadfast in his belief that what he experienced was real. His account continues to spark curiosity and debate about the existence of life beyond our planet.
