 Unidentified flying object - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
For the next few days most American newspapers were filled with front-page stories of the new "flying saucers" or "flying discs." Starting with official debunkery that began the night of July 8 with the Roswell UFO incident, reports rapidly tapered off, ending the first big U.S. UFO wave.
In another 1950 movie incident from Montana, Nicholas Mariana filmed some unusual aerial objects and eventually turned the film over to the U.S. Air Force, but insisted that the first part of the film, clearly showing the objects as spinning discs, had been removed when it was returned to him.
Use of "UFO" instead of "flying saucer" was first suggested in 1952 by Capt. Edward J. Ruppelt, the first director of Project Blue Book, who felt that "flying saucer" did not reflect the diversity of the sightings.

 ufo - UFOS at close sight: The Great Falls, Montana UFO Color Film August 15, 1950
The version of the incident by Mariana is the following: "August 5, or 15, 1950, as manager of the Selectrics, a local baseball team, I went in the stands of the local base ball park here in Great Falls, Montana.
No mention of the observation was announced in any of the Great Falls newspapers before September 12, 1950, whereas Mariana was frequently mentioned in these newspapers because he was the foreman of the base ball team.
A journalist of the Great Falls Leader was responsible that the sighting and the footage was heard of by the authorities.
