Case description
This New Mexico entry is a late, layered anecdote attributed to Boyd Bushman, not an identified 1947 military report. In a subsequently published interview transcript, Bushman says an unnamed doctor told him about a Navy test pilot under the doctor's care. The doctor and pilot are not named, and the story supplies no exact date, unit, aircraft serial number or recoverable crash location. Its placement in 1947 is part of the anecdote.
The pilot supposedly received radar-directed instructions to investigate an unknown object over New Mexico. Bushman's retelling says the pilot requested permission to fire because the object was outpacing his propeller aircraft, and then brought it down. He allegedly landed on a nearby road, crossed a fence and approached an open doorway. One being was said to be outside; inside were three reported dead occupants. The visitor's account describes walls that could be seen through and a yielding floor before the pilot returned to his aircraft and departed.
No supporting radar log, flight report, named firsthand testimony or physical material accompanies the accessible telling. Bushman's statement that unnamed contacts endorsed it adds another uncheckable assertion. It should not be merged with Roswell, Aztec or another named 1947 incident. The plate labels the hearsay, omits reported deaths and uses a deliberately nonspecific craft form and unresolved figure; it illustrates a claim rather than a documented recovery.
