Aztec is in northwest New Mexico not far from the Colorado border. The town is about 20 miles northeast of Farmington. Since the 1950s, local legend has been that a flying saucer carrying 16 aliens crashed about 12 miles northeast of Aztec. The dead aliens and their spaceship were hauled away by the government, legend has it. A large concrete block of unknown origin embedded in the ground near the alleged crash site could be a marker.
Nobody seems to know why it's there.
