Sequence of Events On July 2, 1947,during the evening, a flying saucer crashed on the Foster Ranch near Corona, New Mexico. The crash occurred during a severe thunderstorm. (The military base nearest the crash site is in Roswell, New Mexico hence, Roswell is more closely associated with this event than Corona, even though Corona is closer to the crash site) On July 3, 1947,William Mac Brazel (rhymes with frazzle) and his 7-year-old neighbor Dee Proctor found the remains of the crashed flying saucer. Brazel was foreman of the Foster Ranch. The pieces were spread out over a large area, perhaps more than half a mile long. When Brazel drove Dee back home, he showed apiece of the wreckage to Dee’s parents, Floyd and Loretta Proctor. They all agreed the piece was unlike anything they had ever seen.
