With alien themes coming back to television, the folks in one tiny Texas town will be watching the shows -- and the skies -- even closer. Legend has it that residents of Aurora, TX, had their own alien encounter more than 100 years ago. Just north of Fort Worth, Aurora has a population of 376. Something about it is different -- mysterious, and some say, down-right weird. "It's just a legend," said Barbara Brammer, Aurora Historian. April 19, 1897 would change this town's identity forever. "They said, 'Have you heard of the Martian that crashed his aircraft into a well site in Aurora?,'" Brammer said. "And I said, 'No." A former mayor, Brammer first heard the story of the UFO crash shortly after her arrival in the 1950s "I kept the legend going whenever I was teaching or when we had new people in to the community," she said.
