Belmont, Wisconsin Meteorite - Connection to the Roswell UFO Incident
A
connection to the Roswell UFO Incident. Named for the original capital of the
Wisconsin Territory, the Belmont meteorite was struck by a plow as a farmer
cleared his field in the spring of 1958.
In 1960, it was identified as a meteorite by W.A. Broughton, a professor of geology at
the former Wisconsin Institute of Technology and Dr. Lincoln LaPaz, founding
Director of the Institute of Meteoritics at the University of New Mexico. Dr. LaPaz
witnessed two UFOs only days after the famous Roswell UFO incident and purportedly
was called into interview witnesses and determine the flight path of the
recovered craft. Dr. LaPaz was also interviewed by Project Blue Book’s (yes this is
the current TV show on History Channel) Dr. J. Allen Hynek about a UFO landing in
Socorro, New Mexico. Our slices at Mile High Meteorites were sectioned from the meteorite mass that was
acquired by Dr. LaPaz that currently resides in the collection at the Institute of
Meteoritics.
