At the beginning of Long UFO Story Ever Appear on Earth

On June 24, 1947, amateur pilot Kenneth Arnold flew a small airplane near Mt Rainier, Washington and saw a very odd-shaped objects. What is it?


It was located right on the left side of Arnold, 20-30 km north of the plane at the same altitude. It was a series of nine objects flying toward the sun shining over. Comparing the size of the plane, Arnold estimate the size of the object was as wide as 13-15 m.

Given this thing is capable of flying as far as 80 miles in 1 minute 42 seconds, Arnold is able to estimate the object traveling at the speed of 2736 km / h or three times faster than man-made aircraft that era.



However, as if controlled, flying objects that seem dipped and swerved around obstacles in the terrain. When these things disappeared in the distance, Arnold flew to Yakima, Washington, then landing and immediately tell the airport staff.

The next day, Arnold interviewed by journalists, and stories about these things spread like a plague across the nation.

"At that time, there is still a presumption, Mars or Venus could be a new residential planet," says author Robert Sheaffer UFOs.



People think, this UFO is a Martian who came watching people who now have nuclear weapons. Over time, the incident that is the theory first of many visits that is outer space. The era of UFO sightings began.

Arnold's sighting a "kind of sensation that made ​​headlines around the world, 'writes Martin Kottmeyer UFO expert. "Soon after, everyone is looking for a new airplane shaped like a plate," he continued.

In recent weeks, reports emerged of hundreds of objects flying around the world. While people thought the same thing with Arnold's view, there is a great irony that time. Namely, "Kenneth Arnold reported seeing flying saucers have not."


In fact, Arnold told the press, it was flying erratically, "As if the plate across the water". This thing is thin and flat when viewed from the end, he said. However, a crescent-shaped when viewed from above. However, reporter Bill Bequette of United Press interpreting, disc-shaped object was round.

According to UFO expert and deputy editor of Skeptical Inquirer Benjamin Radford, "The statement was to be one the greatest quotes in history to be a journalist". The phrase 'flying saucer' giving shape to the myth of UFOs from the beginning, writes Kottmeyer.

In the eyes of art, hoax, science fiction movies, tv shows and most reports alien abductions, UFOs described as flying saucers today.

"Error Bequette himself unable to refutation of the theory of space for everyone. However, this error even leave a great paradox, why would extraterrestrials redesign their aircraft to conform to Bequette's error? "Wrote Kottmeyer.

Although not see flying saucers, mostly co-pilot was convinced Arnold really see anything that day. So, what Arnold actually see?

One theory holds, Arnold saw a fireball, meteor falling from the atmosphere. Furthermore, pieces of meteors will be tangible such as chains and shines very brightly and could move thousands of kilometers per hour.

However, many historians thought it was not bendar outer space, "It was probably only the pelicans flying in formation," said Sheaffer. Maybe Arnold misjudged the distance and thought things were great and are in great distances, but real close, he added.
