Dude.
We're talking EIGHTEEN NINETY FREAKING SEVEN.
To bring interest to Aurora???
I could understand that explanation post-Roswell, but 50 years beforehand???
Planes were invented in 1903 BTW. Who the fuck is talking about a flying saucer crash almost 10 years before THAT???
Furthermore, if "Etta" (who might have been made up entirely) was 86 at the time of her interview in 1980, that means she'd have been THREE YEARS OLD at the time of the incident in 1897, sooo...
Not saying she might not have heard some talk of this guy making some shit up when she was growing up, but who knows if he wasn't just trying to diffuse the attention he'd gotten, or maybe someone threatened him. But one person who really ain't a good witness either way is this (made up?) Etta person who was too young to remember much of anything back then.

Like yeah, the whole "Mars" supposition is a little out there, but the rest of it reads like a report from Roswell itself. And why would the guy make up the part about the windmill when EVERYONE could attest as to whether there really was a windmill there or not??
The part about the hieroglyphics... they were found on the Roswell crash too.
BTW, pretty sure Tom Delonge said they were Greek letters though. I need to find that clip.
This is all I can find in a super fast search:
