Therein lies the rub. Someone else posted dates and verifiable sources
on when the *story* first showed up. These are notably missing from the
popular accounting. The earliest verified date of the story is
early 1994; if this happened at all, it would have happened sometime
between then and maybe the third season of re-runs of "Smokey and the
Bandit II." The only firm source mentioned is the Arizona Highway
Police. I presume the NTSB and insurance companies might also have some
record of investigation. Who knows; maybe the Air Force squelched the
story after identifying the remains as a UFO.
