Noe Torres

Background

Noe Torres is an American UFO researcher, historian, and prolific author based in South Texas. He holds a Bachelor's degree in English and a Master's degree in Library Science from the University of Texas at Austin, training that informed his rigorous approach to UFO documentation and research methodology. Since 2007, Torres has become one of the field's most active researchers investigating border-region UFO incidents, particularly crash-retrieval cases in remote areas of Texas, New Mexico, and Mexico that he argues were systematically excluded from official government investigations.

Research Focus & Border UFO Cases

Torres's primary research concentration centers on UFO incidents along the Texas-Mexico border, a geographical zone he contends contains unreported or suppressed crash-retrieval cases. His work challenges the narrative that Roswell (1947) was the sole recovered-craft incident in North American history. He has co-authored detailed investigations into several lesser-known crash cases, including the Coyame Incident (1974)—a reported UFO crash near Presidio, Texas, allegedly recovered by both U.S. and Mexican authorities—and what he terms "The Other Roswell," a distinct crash event on the Texas-Mexico border. Through interviews with alleged witnesses, family members of military personnel, and archival research, Torres reconstructs narratives of incidents he argues demonstrate a pattern of cross-border retrieval operations.

His methodology combines archival document analysis, oral history collection, and geographical investigation. He has published extensively on early 20th-century American UFO sightings (1900–1939), positioning border incidents within a longer historical continuum of undocumented encounters.

Media & Public Engagement

Torres has appeared as a guest on numerous national platforms, including:

• Coast to Coast AM (multiple appearances discussing border UFO cases, the Cisco Grove encounter, and alleged extraterrestrial visitation)
• History Channel's UFO Hunters (documentary series on paranormal investigation)
• The Jeff Rense Program (long-form radio interviews)
• Travel Channel's Mysteries of the Outdoors
• Paranormal NL Podcast

He maintains an active speaking schedule at UFO conferences and has appeared multiple times at the Roswell UFO Festival and other regional gatherings since 2007, positioning himself as a public intellectual in UFO discourse.

MUFON Involvement

Torres serves as director of the South Texas chapter of the Mutual UFO Network (MUFON), one of the world's oldest civilian UFO investigative organizations. His institutional role reflects his standing within organized UFO research and his commitment to field investigation standards.

Assessment

Torres represents the modern UFO researcher-author archetype: credentialed in research methodology (Master's in Library Science), focused on documented primary sources and witness testimony, and actively engaged in public education through both traditional publishing and media appearances. His emphasis on border-region incidents and crash-retrieval cases reflects a broader researcher conviction that significant UFO events remain historically undocumented in official accounts.
