1865 - Trapper Reports Witnessing Crash of 'Compartmented Craft With Strange Hieroglyphics'
A STRANGE STORY-REMARKABLE DISCOVERY
The Missouri Democrat
10-19-1865
Mr. James Lumley, an old Rocky Mountain trapper, who has been stopping at the Everett House for several days, makes a most remarkable statement to us, and one which, if authenticated, will produce the greatest excitement in the scientific world. Mr. Lumley states that about the middle of last September, he was engaged in trapping in the mountains about seventy-five or one hundred miles above the Great Falls of the Upper Missouri, and in the neighborhood of what is known as Cadotte Pass.
Just after sunset one evening, he beheld a bright luminous body in the heavens, which moved with great rapidity in an easterly direction. It was plainly visible for at least five seconds, when it suddenly separated into particles, resembling, as Mr. Lumley describes it, the bursting of a sky-rocket in the air. A few minutes later, he heard a heavy explosion, which jarred the earth very perceptibly, and this was shortly after followed by a rushing sound, like a tornado sweeping through the forest. A strong wind sprang up about the same time, but suddenly subsided. The air was also filled with a peculiar odor of a sulphurous character.
These incidents would have made a slight impression on the mind of Mr. Lumley, but for the fact that on the ensuing day he discovered, at the distance of about two miles from his camping place, that, as far as he could see in either direction a path had been cut through the forest, several rods wide-giant trees uprooted or broken off near the ground- the tops of hills shaved off and the earth plowed up in many places. Great and widespread havoc was everywhere visible.
Following up this track of desolation, he soon ascertained the cause of it in the shape of an immense stone driven into the side of a mountain. An examination of this stone, or so much of it as was visible, showed that it was divided into compartments that in various places it was carved with curious hieroglyphics. More than this, Mr. Lumley also discovered fragments of a substance resembling glass, and here and there dark stains, as though caused by a liquid.
He is confident that the hieroglyphics are the work of human hands, and that the stone itself, although but a fragment of an immense body, must have been used for some purpose by animated beings.
Strange as this story appears, Mr. Lumley relates it with so much sincerity that we are forced to accept it as true. It is evident that the stone which he discovered, was a fragment of the meteor which was visible in this section in September last. It will be remembered that it was seen in Leavenworth, Galena and in this city by Col. Bonneville. At Leavenworth it was seen to separate into particles or explode.
Astronomers have long held that it is probable that the heavenly bodies are inhabited -- even the comets -- and it may be that the meteors are also. Possibly, meteors could be used as a means of conveyance by the inhabitants of other planets, in exploring space, and it may be that hereafter some future Columbus, from Mercury or Uranus, may land on this planet by means of a meteoric conveyance, and take full possession thereof -- as did the Spanish navigators of the New World in 1492, and eventually drive what is known as the "human race" into a condition of the most abject servitude. It has always been a favorite theory with many that there must be a race superior to us, and this may at some future time be demonstrated in the manner we have indicated.

I love stories like these because they have an innocence about them that are free of what skeptics term "cultural influence". I looked up the GPS coordinates of 'Cadotte Pass' and discovered that it actually lies in Montana. Using Google Earth I then located Cadotte Pass (the imagery is very clear in this area). Taking Mr. Lumleys description of the object "which moved with great rapidity in an easterly direction" and noting that he stated the path of destruction began two miles or so from where he was camped, I simply followed Google Earth in an easterly direction. The only other specific description was that the object shaved of the tops of a few hills before coming to rest "driven into the side of a mountain", I looked for indications of higher elevations that a 'mountain man' would distinguish from "hills". Sure enough, if you follow Google earth from Cadotte Pass in an easterly direction, on the westerly slope of what is labeled 'Roberts Mountain' you see what appear to be parallel scratch marks in the earth leading to and up the side of this mountain. It looks very similar to drawings I've seen depicting the crash trajectory and impact of the object at Roswell. The area looks densely forested and so a question might be, what would this area look like today if indeed an impact occurred? The GPS coordinates of Cadotte Pass are 47 05'09.59N 112 22'46.23W and of Roberts Mountain, 47 05'47.49N 112 14'22.37W (due east of Cadotte Pass. The distance is about 6.8 miles, but Lumley states he was in the area and so I give latitude that he wasn't on top of the pass when giving his 2 mile description.
It's very satisfying to use todays technology to verify at the least, geographical descriptions of 19th century anomalies. I am interested in the comments of others if they decide to take a look. I've saved the images from GE and uploaded them for viewing here. This is the possible impact and debris area going up the side of Roberts Mountain....or not (LOL).
