I lived close by at the time. It arrived there in 1973, as this article states. For more corraboration, go to the John F. Kennedy High School Facebook groups for people who graduated in the '60s and '70s, and most of them will remember. http://www.phillyburbs.com/spaceship-lands-in-willingboro/article_bb1eba9c-cb27-56d7-82ed-e653e7b3acd5.htmlUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05653584913758488121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3358290038465876025.post-34332281643414718952014-04-30T08:45:18.474-05:002014-04-30T08:45:18.474-05:00We have a Futuro Shell on our property in NJ.

However, the owner of the Austin Futuro has asked that the location be lept private and in order to respect that wish for privacy I have withheld the location information.
