Kingman UFO Crash Main Page
June 21, 1950: The strange vanishing ambulance with burned men story. A real story that appeared in numerous papers, sometimes the headline story (link is to multiple news stories), about 3 "youths" or "young men" or "strange men" who were badly burned, taken from a mountain forest fire near Kingman the night of June 21 by the local commander of the National Guard to the Kingman hospital (or maybe to the outskirts of Kingman, according to one account). The more seriously burned man died on the way. Upon arrival, one of the burned men pointed to an ambulance there and strangely said, "There's our ambulance now", as if expecting it. Two more unknown men were in the ambulance, one saying he was the driver, the other saying he was an "intern". The dead man and burned men were loaded into the ambulance and then apparently drove away, instead of going into the hospital. The Kingman Sheriff set up road blocks, put out an All Points Bulletin (APB) to three states, and extensively searched for the missing ambulance with dead body and 2 injured, but they were never seen again.
Story brought to present-day attention by Harry Drew, historian and former museum curator who researched the alleged May 1953 Kingman UFO crash and came up with not one, but three alleged crashes. One he says was on May 24, 1953, started another forest fire, and from which 2 suspicious men were taken into custody, then mysteriously vanished from a very secure Kingman holding facility. Drew has said he has some evidence that the June 1950 fire was another similar crash into the same mountain.
There was extensive UFO activity at the time (June 1950) nationwide, including a mass sighting June 23 over Alabama-Mississippi-Arkansas-Texas--Gulf of Mexico, another over Nevada-California-Arizona-Utah on June 24, the day the fire was declared under control, and yet another over Phoenix, Arizona June 29. Also two UFOs were sighted over Flagstaff, Arizona June 20, the day the forest fire broke out near Kingman.
