A UFO sighting and the creatures seen by one man in the summer of 1945: "They walk like us"

In 1945 near New Mexico's Trinity site, Josepia "Jose" Heitzman, then a boy, claimed he saw a UFO and extraterrestrial creatures after witnessing the atomic bomb test. He later retrieved an artifact from the craft, which tested inconclusive for extraterrestrial origin. The U.S. government began investigating this sighting in 1945, earlier than previously known. Jose's account has persisted despite skepticism, with some suggesting a connection between UFOs and nuclear events. His story highlights early federal interest in UFOs and raises questions about their possible origins.
