At the beginning of UFO sightings
On June 24, 1947, an amateur pilot Kenneth Arnold flew a small plane near Mount Rainier, Washington and look 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 height. It was a series of nine objects flying towards the sun shining over. Comparing the size of the plane, Arnold estimated the size of the object was as wide as 13-15 m.
Considering this thing is capable of flying as far as 80 miles in 1 minute 42 seconds, Arnold predicted object which travels at a speed of 2736 km / h or three times faster than man-made planes that day.
However, as controlled, flying objects appeared dip and swerve around obstacles in the field. When the object disappeared in the distance, Arnold flew to Yakima, Washington, and then landed and immediately tell the airport staff.
The next day, Arnold interviewed by journalists, and stories about it spread like a plague across the nation.
"At that time, there is still a presumption, Mars or Venus could be a new dwelling planet," says author Robert Bulpen UFO.
People think this is a Martian UFO coming man who now oversees nuclear weapons. Over time, the incidence of which is the first of many visits theory that is outer space. The era of UFO sightings began.
Arnold sightings into 'a kind of sensation that made headlines around the world, "wrote Martin Kottmeyer UFO expert. "Soon after, everyone is looking for a new aircraft is shaped like a plate," he continued.
In recent weeks, there are hundreds of UFO reports around the world. While people thought the same as Arnold saw it, there is a great irony that time. Namely, "Kenneth Arnold reported seeing flying saucers yet".
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, the crescent-shaped when viewed from above. Even so, reporter Bill Bequette of United Press interpreting, round disc-shaped objects.
According to UFO expert and deputy editor Benjamin Radford Skeptical Inquirer, "The statement was to be one of the greatest quotes in history made journalists". The phrase 'flying saucers' give shape to the myth of UFOs from the beginning, write Kottmeyer.
In the eyes of art, hoax, science fiction movies, tv shows and most of the reported alien abductions, UFO described as flying saucers today.
"Mistakes can not be Bequette own 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 a flying saucer, most of the co-pilot was sure Arnold actually saw something that day. So, what Arnold actually see?
One theory holds, Arnold saw a fireball, meteor falling from the atmosphere. Furthermore, the pieces of the meteor would intangibles such as chain and shines very bright and able to move thousands of kilometers per hour.
However, many historians think it was not bendar space, "It was perhaps only pelicans flying in formation," said Sheaffer. Arnold probably misjudged the distance and thought things were great and are at great distances but really close, he added.
When the first unidentified flying objects did they appear?
When the first unidentified flying objects did they appear? This is a question divides historians.
L‘modern history of UFOs begins 24 June 1947 with a man named Kenneth Arnold, a pilot of the private aviation who claims to have observed, during a reconnaissance flight, nine unusual objects flying in formation at high speed. Information soon echoed by the press, first, speaks of ‘flying saucers'. The formula then spreads throughout the world. A phenomenon was born.
But historians, not just those with a particular interest in paranormal phenomena, s’insurgent : is the acronym UFO (UFO in English) is new, Accounts of the appearance of flying saucers - usually bright spots moving at extreme speed - are much older. In prehistoric times already, rock paintings show the curious objects flying dinosaur hunters. Hoax or testimony to be taken with utmost seriousness ? Again, opinions differ.
The fact is that every century, AD or BC, has seen its share of statements make headlines. Stories we tell you about these pages regularly. The Hindus have insight and plates of gold flying, storytellers of ancient times tell us about the fiery shields… Even the Bible mentions that some heavenly clouds do not hesitate to classifying in paranormal phenomena. Closer to home, the ghost rockets have fueled the imaginations of the most fertile during the war : aircraft without wings, moving at speeds unimaginable at the time would have been detected by radar in Finland, Swedish and Belgian. The amazing thing is that these devices also seem to get in a stationary position. British and American experts sent there to investigate reassure their staffs : the source of the problem is not the Soviet. The story will remain there, a committee of inquiry from Sweden even talk about "popular imagination". But other phenomena during and before World War II allow us to assert that this explanation is somewhat… simplistic !
