1953 Egg-Shaped Craft Incident
In July 1953, witness HJ, a 17-year-old private in B Company of the US Army 24th Infantry, observed an egg-shaped object crash-land in a remote area of the base during evening duty maneuvers. Both A and B companies were ordered to the crash site. The ovoid craft was as wide as a three-bedroom house, with no windows or lights, and featured a rotating fin-like protrusion on its equator. The ground around the craft was burned to a powdery substance, and heat was still emanating from the vehicle. A special detachment with medics recovered one dead occupant on a stretcher and three living beings described as 3.5–4 feet tall in tight-fitting metallic green uniforms.
The Camp Polk incident shares striking similarities with the 1997 Peru UFO Crash Incident, including the egg-shaped morphology, rotating circumferential features, and the rapid arrival of specialized retrieval teams.
