The Coyame UFO incident was a reported mid-air collision between a UFO and a small airplane. Some conspiracy theorists believe the UFO was retrieved by a United States rapid response team assembled by military and intelligence agencies. The incident is said to have taken place on August 25, 1974 near the town of Coyame, Chihuahua, close to the U.S.-Mexico border.

Original Source of UFO Report

The Coyame UFO incident first came to light in 1992, when an account of the case was mailed anonymously to a number of UFO researchers in the United States and Europe.[citation needed] The document was titled "Research Findings on the Chihuahua Disk Crash" and was addressed "To All Deneb Team Members, From JS." In Washington D.C., Elaine Douglass, of the UFO group Operation Right to Know, received a copy and forwarded it to Leonard Stringfield, who included it in his 1994 publication, UFO Crash Retrievals: Search for Proof in a Hall of Mirrors (Status Report VII). Acknowledged as the first UFO researcher to give serious credence to reports of crashed UFOs, Stringfield wrote that the Coyame incident was "authoritatively written, using correct military terminology and, of note and unlike a hoax, draws a line between so-called hard evidence and that which is speculative."[1]

Aftermath

After the report surfaced in 1992, the story of the Coyame UFO incident lay dormant until 2005, when producers of the cable television series UFO Files, shown on the History Channel, created a show based on the report. The show, called "Mexico's Roswell," was one of several episodes about UFO crashes similar to the 1947 Roswell UFO Incident. Written by Vincent Kralyevich and Scott Miller, "Mexico's Roswell" first aired on December 12, 2005, and featured commentary by veteran UFO investigator Ruben Uriarte, the director of the Northern California chapter of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON). Uriarte had previously investigated UFO cases in Mexico and was MUFON's liaison to Mexico's civilian UFO groups.
