| Description |
English: 1947 June 26 Chicago Sun article "Supersonic Flying Saucers Sighted by Idaho Pilot". Perhaps first-use of term "flying saucer" in headline from Chicago Sun about Kenneth Arnold sighting, June 26, 1947 Kenneth Arnold UFO sighting. PAGE 2 THE CHICAGO SUN, THURSDAY, JUNE 26, 1947 In These United States Supersonic Flying Saucers Sighted by Idaho Pilot Speed Estimated at 1,200 Miles an Hour When Seen 10,000 Feet Up Near Mt. Rainier PENDLETON, Ore, June 25. — ([?]). Nine [bright], saucer-like objects flying at "incredible" speed at 10,000 feet altitude were reported here today by Kenneth Arnold, [Boise] (Idaho) pilot, who said he could not hazard a guess as to what they were. Arnold, a U.S. Forest Service employee searching for a [missing] plane, said he sighted the mystery craft 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 said he clocked them and estimated their speed at 1,200 miles an hour. Inquiries at Yakima last night brought only blank stares, he said, but he added he talked today with an unidentified man from [Ukiah], south of here, who said he had seen similar objects over the mountains near [Ukiah] yesterday. "It seems impossible," Arnold said, "but there it is." - * - |
