Kansas astronomer became expert in UFOs
During a time when dark and stormy nights prevailed in the New Mexico desert, people were seeing things near Roswell and discovering they might not be alone.
In July 1947, there were reports of alien spacecraft crashes, wounded space alien survivors and mysterious green fireballs. Lincoln La Paz, a Wichitan and world-renowned astronomer and mathematician, was called in by the U.S. military to help investigate the sightings at Roswell.
La Paz eventually became an expert in “ufology,” the study of unidentified flying objects. His job was to provide scientific explanations for what people were reportedly seeing that summer.
In 1945, La Paz founded and became the director of the Institute of Meteoritics at the University of New Mexico, where he also chaired the department of mathematics and astronomy, according to the 1955 article from the alumni magazine. He became a prolific researcher of and writer about meteorites, publishing more than 120 articles and books.
“Whenever celestial or space problems arise in the nation, it is Doctor La Paz who is first to be consulted,” the alumni magazine article reported. “Nuclear physicists, guided missile experts, space engineers, and medical men rely upon his knowledge of space and meteors.”
In 1947, the summer of the strange lights and crashes near Roswell, N.M., La Paz himself spotted mysterious lights in the night sky while on a family vacation at Fort Sumner, N.M. He described them for the April 7, 1952, edition of Life Magazine as bright objects.
