The Elk River ''Crash''

By Crusader1307

Westport is a small Town located in the Northwestern portion of Washington State. Likewise, the meandering Elk River near Westport has been a source of income for Hunters and Loggers for decades. But something happened in the skies over Westport on November 2, 1979 that even today is talked about in whispers and will likely never be explained. At roughly 1100PM, local Sheriff Department Deputies were receiving hundreds of phone calls about an ''Object in The sky that appeared to be on fire and coming down uncontrolled''. The Object was on a direct collision course with The Elk River confluence. Many Witnesses though that perhaps The Object was an aircraft. However, other Callers stated that The Object had a ''strange glow, an almost orange color with green flames erupting from it, as if something was burning off of the Craft''. Those familiar with both Civilian and Military Aircraft stated that the in-coming Object was not acting as most aircraft would when conducting an emergency landing. Further, amateur Astronomers – familiar with Meteors, Space Debris and related, all stated that The Object was NOT any of those.

Around 1145PM – The Object was said to have crashed into a portion of The Elk River, well out of the normal traffic of people. The unknown Object made a spectacular explosion when it hit the water. Law Enforcement, supported by the local Civil Air Patrol – conducted a 3-day investigation of the ''crash area''. They said ''nothing was found'' and ''could not explain the phenomenon witnessed''. It should be noted that during the 3-day period NO One was allowed anywhere close to the area – which had all primary entrance roads blocked by local Law Enforcement. That should have been the end of the story....it wasn't. Several days passed, when local Residents of Westport began to see all sorts of ''visitors'' to the area. Although none were in any form of ''military uniform'', these ''Men'' obviously looked like they were in fact Government Agents. Again, all road into the supposed site were closed for several days and again. After several weeks, all evidence of this ''Group'' vanished and access returned to normal. The curious went to investigate and found absolutely no evidence of any form of ''recovery'' project.

Several theories were put forth over the years. The first, perhaps Westport Residents ''saw'' the crash of a Top Secret Government Aircraft – such as the infamous ''Black Triangles'' or even an early version of The ''Aurora''. Still, the crash may have been debris from again – a Top Secret Government Satellite that held sensitive information. Or, for true UFOlogists – The Object was as one would imagine....a crash of an Extraterrestrial Craft. Since Roswell in 1947, The Government had become expert in evidence recovery, information control and making any area – devoid of any evidence that might be found by the curious. As with all other similar Cases – The Elk River Crash of 1979 will no doubt never be admitted too or explained.
