Skeptical intelligence-dossier evidence board for the March 1950 Mexico City "midget pilot" flying-saucer crash claim, showing a vintage 1950 newspaper-fragment motif headlined about a reported flying-saucer midget pilot with an AP dateline and illegible gray column type pinned to the board, beside a dim washed-out vague depiction of a roped-off rocky Mexican mountainside with only an indistinct metallic strip on the ground and no saucer or body shown; a small clipped evidence card carries a neutral diagrammatic human-outline silhouette and a scale ruler marked twenty-three inches, claimed, secondhand, unverified, kept strictly non-graphic, with a faint diagonal "unsubstantiated" watermark and restrained red tactical HUD overlays marking the case as a crash-retrieval claim with no Hynek class, one claimant Ray Dimmick who saw only a metal strip, sourced to the Associated Press and Washington Herald of March 10 1950, status Insufficient Data and probable hoax.
