| Aurora Cemetery Est. 1861 |
Recently, we traveled to the town of Aurora, Texas to visit the Aurora Cemetery. It is mentioned on the Texas Historical Marker at the entrance that this site is "...well-known because of the legend that a spaceship crashed nearby in 1897 and the pilot, killed in the crash, was buried here." I had heard of this hoax for many years, and since we were in the area, we needed to visit this unique burial site.
