Contribution to the Coyame Investigation
Salazar located a newspaper article from El Heraldo de Chihuahua, dated October 27, 1974, that detailed the death of a group of Mexican soldiers in the crash of a "military transport." This article, published just two months after the alleged August 25, 1974 Coyame incident, represents one of the few pieces of contemporaneous documentation that may corroborate elements of the Denb Report.
The article's reference to Mexican soldiers dying in a "military transport" crash could align with the Denb Report's account of Mexican military personnel who located the crashed disc and civilian aircraft, loaded the disc onto a flatbed truck convoy, and subsequently died under mysterious circumstances before reaching their headquarters. However, the article's description as a "military transport" crash may also represent a cover story or misidentification.
Salazar's discovery was cited by researchers Noah Torres and Ruben Uriarte in their follow-up book The Coyame Incident. The article remains difficult to verify independently, as UAP Gerb was "unable to track this paper" and access the original source.
Significance
Salazar's contribution is significant because:
- It provides a potential contemporaneous Mexican press account of military deaths in the Coyame region in 1974
- It represents Mexican domestic documentation rather than US-sourced claims
- It suggests the incident had some level of visibility within Mexican media, even if reported under a different narrative
The extent of Salazar's research into the Coyame case, and whether he uncovered additional documentation or witness testimony, is not detailed in publicly available sources.
