BTW, Terry.
This event preceded the July 1947 "Roswell Incident" and the top-secret "Project Mogul" spy balloon that was launched from the White Sands Missile Range.
"Pg. 113-114 On May 29, 1947, a V-2 with a guidance system designed by Dr.
Ernst Steinhoff (who had guided the ill-fated German V-2 that had landed in
Sweden and wound up in England for study) literally was wired up with wires
crossed, and instead of heading up the range to the north, headed south,
landing in a cemetary on the outskirts of Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, almost
causing an international incident. The US Army arrived a couple of hours
later, "enterprising Mexicans were selling any old piece of scrap metal
they could find and claiming it was V-2 debris." No further launchers were
made until proper range-safety procedures were developed."
You don't suppose "Wrong Way Steinhoff" accidentally shot down a UFO, do you? :-)
