Born On The Edge of Ground Zero

By Reme Baca and Jose Padilla

San Antonio, New Mexico

• Established in the 1660’s and named after the Piro Village and

mission of San Antonio De Senuco.

​

• Prior to the Civil War, coal was discovered 10 miles east of the

village and was mined to support the needs of Fort Craig and

the surrounding communities.

​

• The first post office was established in 1870.

​

• The flood of 1929 partially destroyed San Antonio and the

great depression almost completed the task.

San Antonio is where the famous Conrad Hilton was born and where

His father, Holliver Adolph Hilton established his first business, the

Hilton Mercantile.

San Antonio is within the 30 mile radius of ground zero for the

bomb tests conducted at Trinity.

Jumbo

• At 5:29 am July 16, 1945 the first atomic

bomb was tested at the Trinity site

southeast of San Antonio New Mexico.

​

• In the months leading up to July 16th,

scientists and engineers from Los Alamos

frequented the Owl Bar and Café in

San Antonio.

​

• This presence made it apparent to some in San Antonio that

something was going on.

​

• The explosion on July 16^th could be seen, heard and felt from

San Antonio New Mexico to El Paso Texas.

​

• Jose Padillas mother sustained permanent loss of sight as a result

of the flash.

The Crash – August 1945

• Jose described what he saw

through his binoculars.

Strange looking creatures

moving fast, seemingly under

stress, shadowy, almost as if

they could will each other from

one position to another. All

three of the creatures seemed

unable to hold their balance.

​

• The craft dug a gouge in the

earth about a foot deep and a football field long.

​

• We believe there is a correlation between the nuclear bomb test at

Trinity and the crash of the alien craft. This is supported by reports

of UFOs in the vicinity before, during and after the bomb test.

The Crash (cont’d)

• About a mile up wind of the crash site, a damaged radio or radar

tower was discovered a short time after the crash. It is possible

that the craft was not properly grounded and may have been

struck by lightening as it passed over the tower.

​

• There is also the theory that the craft may have been disabled by

the military which could account for some of the damage.

​

• Considering that the craft remained pretty much intact, with the

exception of a large hole in its side, it is believed that some

semblance of control or guidance must have been present as

it skidded to its resting place.

The Recovery

• Familiarity with seeing outsiders throughout the previous 30 days

allowed a contingent of US Army soldiers to pass largely

unnoticed through San Antonio. The military detail apparently

came from the White Sands Proving Grounds to the east.

​

• Over the course of several days, soldiers in Army fatigues loaded

shattered remains of a flying apparatus onto a large flat bed truck

and hauled it away.

​

• Although most of the debris was removed, there was some debris

that was left behind.

The Analysis

• Some material recovered from the crash site has since

undergone independent scientific analysis and will be

subject to future planned studies.

​

• Since the research has not yet been completed, it was agreed

that the facilities and scientists involved would remain confidential.

​

• In addition to tests conducted in Washington State, “Dr. Smith”

from the metallurgy department at an international facility analyzed

the material using three different scanning electron microscopes.

The Results

• In the process of analyzing the elemental make-up of the

metal, it appeared to be composed of an aluminum silicate.

​

• There is an unusually high percentage of carbon.

​

Aluminum

Silicon

Carbon

The Results

• Analysis of the material also demonstrated the ability to transfer

heat from one end to the other thus preventing or retarding

melt down, much like the tiles on the space shuttle.

​

• Two minute exposure to a 2000 degree oxy-acetylene flame

failed to melt the material.

​

• Aluminum silicate would be expected to melt at about 700 degrees.

​

• This material being eutectic in nature should melt at around

500 degrees within seconds.

Conclusion

• A blend of carbon and some other trace materials are present,

which may increase the conducting power; while at the same time

the transference of heat takes place eliminating excessive heat

build up and the resistance to electricity.

​

• Potential applications for this type of material would be heat

shielding, computer chip manufacturing and many more.

​

• What purpose did this material serve as part of the craft?

………..we simply do not know.

……..Only time and the on-going investigations of Reme and Jose will tell.
