Historian and Researcher Harry Drew has done some amazing work in the past few years and substantiated a lot of key military and civilian testimony, with logistics records to make a strong case for 2 UFO Crash Landing sites in the Kingman, AZ area in 1953.

No monsters were sighted on my journey, but it had a rare and fierce beauty…
