The Mount Rainier Incident: Birth of the Flying Saucer

Before Roswell, there was Mount Rainier…

On a clear June day in 1947, pilot Kenneth Arnold spotted 9 strange objects zipping across the sky at impossible speeds—and the world’s obsession with flying saucers began. Was it secret tech? Mass hysteria? Or something not of this Earth?

This is the story that launched the UFO era.
