With the world abuzz with interplanetary headlines, it’s curious to consider when these sightings truly started. Many attribute the birth of “Ufology” to Kenneth Arnold’s 1947 “Flying Saucer” sighting. Arnold was a private pilot flying near Mount Rainer, and reported numerous sightings of flying discs grouped together, flying at an estimated speed of three times anything available in 1947.
Following Arnold's sighting on June 24th, 1947, North America exploded with stories involving Flying Saucers, Little Purple Men & Vapor Trails. Interest and intrigue led to an entire culture developing around “UFO’s” and the search for interplanetary life. Today I try to cover the sighting itself and the events following the incident.
