	PROJECT 1947 - Frank Brown - 4th AF CIC Memo Re: Kenneth Arnold
		Arnold can write a report of the character that he did while not having seen the objects that he claimed he saw, it is the opinion of the interviewer that Mr.
		Arnold is very outspoken and somewhat bitter in his opinions of the leaders of the U.S. Army Air Forces and the Federal Bureau of Investigation for not having made an investigation of this matter sooner.
		Arnold stated that his business had suffered greatly since his report on July 25 due to the fact that at every stop on his business routes, large crowds of people were waiting to question him as to just what he had seen.

	THE COMPLETE SIGHTING REPORT OF KENNETH ARNOLD
		It is important to notice how Arnold's attention was first drawn to the presence of strange flying objects because his initial observation rules out any explanation that is based on things in the sky which are not shiny (reflective, like a mirror) such as, for example, birds.
		To Arnold they appeared to be approximately at his altitude because they seemed to be "pretty much on the horizon to me." Since he was flying at 9,200 ft, this implies that they were close to that altitude.
		The answer to this question lies in the fact that Arnold inferred the altitude by observing that the objects appeared to be almost exactly on his horizon (i.e., level with his altitude).

		Arnold stated - "The first thing I noticed was a series of flashes in my eyes as if a mirror was reflecting sunlight at me..." "I saw the flashes were coming from a series of objects that were travelling incredibly fast.
		Arnold estimated that the objects were flying at an altitude between 9,500 and 10,000 feet, and at a great speed.
		Arnolds report was only the first of 850 UFO reports made to the US media by the end of July 1947 and Arnold also put his place in UFO history forever.

	Kenneth Arnold UFO Sighting
		Arnold, a recreational private pilot, was returning home from a flight in Wyoming when he received a radio signal requesting assistance in the Yakima, Washington area.
		What fascinated Arnold the most was the fact that the flying objects had no tail, but rather were round, saucer shaped, metallic and highly polished.
		But the Kenneth Arnold sighting is generally considered to be the first 'modern' sighting and preceded the current UFO craze we are experiencing to this day.

		“Kenneth Arnold’s sighting of nine crescent-shaped UFOs on June 24, 1947, is the granddaddy of all flying saucer cases and was the beginning of the ‘Modern’ phase of the phenomenon.
		Arnold had also suggested that his book be published in serial form, maybe a chapter a week, and it is also possible that the editors didn’t feel his book was worth so much coverage.
		Despite Kenneth Arnold’s feelings about the press, he was always polite and civil to me. But it was clear that he thought most newspapers and magazines didn’t have the courage to tell the public the truth about flying saucers.

	Kenneth Arnold and Maury Island UFO Incident
		Kenneth Arnold¹s UFO Sighting Three days later on June 24, 1947, a pilot and Federal Marshall by the name of Kenneth Arnold saw nine disks ³skipping² across the North face of Mt. Rainier and was to become the sighting in which media coined the term ³Flying Saucer².
		Kenneth Arnold was interested in UFOs after his sighting and answered a request by Ray Palmer - an editor in Chicago to investigate the nearby Maury Island sighting and a meeting was arranged with Harold Dahl at the Winthrop Hotel in Tacoma where Arnold was joined by United Airlines pilot Capt. E.
		Arnold states he could see the top of the box flapping open and ³Inside the box were a great number of large chunks of material that looked similar to the fragments we had in our room².

	TRN - June 1997 - Resolving Arnold - Part 1
		Arnold's initial belief that the objects were secret experimental aircraft is bizarre on the face of it.
		Arnold reported the air was very smooth traveling that day, which seems inconsistent with the undulatory motions he described.
		Arnold explicitly felt the objects to be a threat, a bother, and disturbing.

	PROJECT 1947 - Ed Murrow - Kenneth Arnold Interview
		Arnold, after landing, made a routine report of what he had seen to a Civil Aeronautics Administration representative, and promptly forgot the matter, until the wheels of publicity began to turn.
		ARNOLD: I never could understand at that time why the world got so upset about 9 disks, as these things didn't seem to be a menace.
		ARNOLD: These objects more or less fluttered like they were, oh, I'd say, boats on very rough water or very rough air of some type, and when I described how they flew, I said that they flew like they take a saucer and throw it across the water.

		Arnold was aiding in the search for a missing plane when the sighting occurred.
		Arnold made the statement that the objects moved, "like a saucer would if you skipped it across the water." East Orengonian newspaper reporter Bill Bequette paraphrased Arnold's statement when he placed the story on the AP news wire.
		Arnold's report was one of the first of 850 different UFO reports to make US media by the end of July, 1947.

	Arnold, Kenneth (1915-1984)
		Businessman, part-time deputy sheriff, and accomplished private pilot whose sighting of luminous objects, while flying his own Callair plane, over the Cascade Mountains, marked the start of the great saucer flap of 1947.
		Arnold was returning from Chehalis to Yakima, Washington, after a business trip, when he heard that a C-46 transport plane belonging to the US Marine Corps had come down near Mount Rainier.
		Since they appeared to be flying in formation and, therefore, in Arnold's view artificial, this speed was astounding.

	ULTIMATE ARNOLD: Kenneth Arnold Sighting
		Arnold's sighting was included as unexplained in the Top Secret intelligence memorandum compiled by Air Force intelligence at the Pentagon during the late fall of 1948 (ref. 3).
		Arnold stated that he saw the bright reflections of the objects silhouetted against the snow of the distant mountains.
		Would Arnold notice the difference between having the snow unblocked and having it blocked by a flashing "object?" The answer depends upon the brightness of the sunlight reflected from the object and the brightness of the snow.

	Une autre explication ratée à l'observation de Kenneth Arnold
		Arnold concluded that the flashes were a result of reflections of light from the sun which was high in the sky to the west (behind him).
		According to Arnold "the first one was passing the south crest of the ridge" as the last one "was entering the northern crest." Hence they covered a total distance of about 5 miles.
		As for Kenneth Arnold's sighting, in spite of the Air Force claim to have explained it, today, 50 years later, Kenneth Arnold's sighting is still unexplained.

	History
		Kenneth Arnold sighting as first reported by the Associated Press - the origins of the term "flying saucer" originated from Arnold's depiction of the objects as "saucers"
		Arnold, a United States Forest Service employee engaged in searching for a missing plane, said he sighted the mysterious objects yesterday at 3 P.M. They were flying between Mount Rainier and Mount Adams, in Washington state, he said, and appeared to weave in and out of formation.
		Arnold's historic sighting occurred on the 24th of June, 1947.

	Re: Kenneth Arnold's testimony (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-15)
		Arnold is timing the apparent speed of the objects by observing their relative distance between two mountains, Mt. Saint Helens and Mt. Adams, some 50 miles south of Mt Rainier.
		As I said to you at the outset, we'll never prove what Kenneth Arnold witnessed, but in the light of an interesting suggestion, it's maybe a worthwhile exercise to look at the story in more detail and see if a case can be made for the explanation being a formation of pelicans.
		Kenneth Arnold described his unidentified objects as, "flying diagonally in echelon formation with a larger gap in their echelon between the first four and last five".

	The UFO Iconoclast(s): Kenneth Arnold and the pelicans
		Here's something to consider about Arnold's sighting: Arnold was a pilot, and like all pilots (I am one, and my father was one) he had to be used to observing the sky and his surroundings at all times.
		Had Arnold been seeing merely a flock of pelicans, I think he would have realized it in the time he had to observe them (according to his story).
		That is, the possibility is that Arnold mistook pelicans for flying saucers, and his later drawing seems to show that -- no UFO has ever been seen that replicates his boomerang (pelican-like) craft.

	The Saucer Error (from "The REALL News", May 1993
		Bill Bequette asked him how the objects flew and Arnold answered that, "Well, they flew erratic, like a saucer if you skip it across the water." The intent of the metaphor was to describe the motion of the objects not their shape.
		Arnold stated the objects "were not circular." A look at the drawing he did for his report to the Air Force shortly after the incident confirms the truth of that statement.
		Arnold's report was itself the source of excitement in the otherwise almost boring period of 1947.

	Maine-MUFON Kenneth Arnold
		Kenneth Arnold's experience started as a boy in Minot, North Dakota, where he took his first flying lesson.
		Arnold was startled and thought he was very close to colliding with another aircraft whose approach he had failed to notice.
		Arnold's momentary explanation to himself was that some lieutenant in a P-51 had buzzed him and it was the sun reflecting from the surface of his wings as he passed Arnold's airplane that caused the flash.
