A vague report in July 1947 -sadly without a decent source that may interest @"A51Watcher2"#53

"...A few days before a man and his nephew, on the way through Corona stopped to get some water for
an overheated truck and tighten or replace a broken or loose fanbelt. While waiting for the truck to cool down,
with some time to spare, the two sat in the shade drinking a couple of iced cold sodas.

In the process a local merchant or rancher stopped by to see if he could help. He took-up conversation with the
man and in a general, small talk sort of way, asked where they were headed and how the trip was going. The man
said he and the boy had visited Elden Pueblo where a rare meteorite had been buried by prehistoric Native Americans
in a ritual style then to Meteor Crater and were now on their way to Fort Sumner to visit the gravesite of Billy the Kid.

Somehow the topic veered away from meteors and meteorites to the flying saucers that had been sighted the week
before in Washington state. The man, who had basically been in the backcountry for the past few weeks, said it was
the first he had heard of such things. Then taking a stick, he began drawing a nearly circular figure in the dirt.

Pointing to the finished rendition he related that he and the boy had been run off the road "by two of the damn things"
near Williams, Arizona just a couple of days before..."
