"Nuclear Physicist" Stanton T. Friedman has attempted to document both the date and the location of a second supposed alien spaceship crash in New Mexico by linking the event to a visit to New Mexico by the commanding general of the Air Materiel Command (AMC). Lt. Gen . Nathan F. Twining's visit

dated June 5, 1947, which gives the reason for Twining 's visit.
