On June 24, 1947, an amateur pilot Kenneth
Arnold flew a small plane near Mt Rainier, Washington and look very odd-shaped
objects. What is it? is it Extraterrestrial Life
It was located right on the left side of Arnold,
20-30 km north of the aircraft at the same altitude. It was in the form of a
series of nine objects flying towards the sun glistening over. Comparing the
size of the plane, Arnold estimates the size of the object was 13-15 m wide.
Considering this thing is capable of flying as
far as 80 miles in 1 minute 42 seconds, Arnold estimates that this thing is
capable of driving at a speed of 2736 km / h or three times faster than a
man-made aircraft of that era.
However, in a controlled, flying objects seemed
dip and swerve around obstacles in the field. When these objects disappear in
the distance, Arnold flew to Yakima, Washington, and then landed and
immediately tell airport staff.
The next day, Arnold interviewed by reporters, and stories about it spread like a plague across the nation.
"At that time, there is a presumption, Mars
or Venus could be a new dwelling planet," said UFO author Robert Sheaffer.
People think, this is a Martian UFO coming oversee
humans who now have 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 sighting a 'sort of sensation that made
headlines around the world, "wrote Martin Kottmeyer UFO expert. "Soon
after, everyone is looking for a new aircraft shaped like a plate," he
continued.
In recent weeks, there are hundreds of reports
of flying objects around the world. While people thought the same thing with
Arnold saw, there is a great irony that moment. Namely, "Kenneth Arnold
reported seeing flying saucers yet".
In fact, Arnold told the press, it flew
erratically, "like a plate when crossing the water". This thing is
thin and flat when viewed from the end, he said. However, the crescent-shaped
when viewed from above. However, reporter Bill Bequette of United Press
interpreting, round disc-shaped object.
According to UFO expert and deputy editor of
Skeptical Inquirer Benjamin Radford, "The statement became one of the
greatest quotes in history has done 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 reports of alien abductions, UFO 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 extraterrestrials redesign their aircraft to conform to
Bequette's error? "Wrote Kottmeyer.
Although not seen a flying saucer, most
co-pilot's confident Arnold actually saw something that day. So, what Arnold
actually see?
One theory is that Arnold saw a fireball, a
meteor falls from the atmosphere. Furthermore, the pieces will form a chain-like
meteors and shining very bright and can move thousands of kilometers per hour.
However, many historians think it was no space objects, "It was probably just the pelicans flying in formation," said Sheaffer. Arnold probably misjudged the distance and thought it was great objects and distances are close but actually, he added.
