Over 1200 heads of cattle that were grazing in the area vanished without leaving any sort of distinguishable remains.
Military officials convened and reported a VW beetle sized meteor crashed and caused the fire. The area was closed off for 1 week; during this time 27 tractor trailers were reported to have left transporting "meteor fragments". After the week, the area was quarantined and then sold to the govt, which today is still under armed guard.
On July 19th 1942, the UNM school of mines revealed the discovery of Velcro.
Just saying....
