This should be huge world news but unfortunately is most likely destined to sit in the “weird stories” pile.
Sixty years ago, a light aircraft was flying over the Cascade Mountains in Washington state, at a height of around 10,000 feet.
Suddenly, a brilliant flash of light illuminated the aircraft.
Visibility was good, and as pilot Kenneth Arnold scanned the sky to find the source of the light, he saw a group of nine shiny metallic objects flying information.
He estimated their speed as being around 1,600 mph — nearly three times faster than the top speed of any jet aircraft at the time.
Soon, similar reports began to come in from all over America.
This wasn’t just the world’s first UFO sighting — this was the birth of a phenomenon, one that still exercises an extraordinary fascination.
Military authorities issued a press release, which began: “The many rumors regarding the flying disc became a reality yesterday when the intelligence officer of the 509th Bomb Group of the Eighth Air Force, Roswell Army Air Field, was fortunate enough to gain possession of a disc.”
The headlines screamed: “Flying Disc captured by Air Force”.
Yet, just 24 hours later, the military changed its story and claimed the object it had first thought was a “flying disc” was a weather balloon that had crashed on a nearby ranch.
But last week came an astonishing new twist to the Roswell mystery.
Lt. Walter Haut was the public-relations officer at the base in 1947 and was the man who issued the original and subsequent press releases after the crash on the orders of the base commander, Col. William Blanchard.
Haut died in December 2005, but left a sworn affidavit to be opened only after his death.
Last week, the text was released. It asserts that the weather-balloon claim was a cover story and that the real object had been recovered by the military and stored in a hangar.
He described seeing not just the craft, but alien bodies.
