UFO CASE FILES

Modern UFOlogy began in 1947, a time post war when eyes still watched the skies afraid of attacks from enemys. This gave the world a new slant especially following several events which catapulted outer space, from books adn tv into the forefront of the times media.

At this time, the First major American wave of "flying disc" sightings started with formation of ovals seen weaving through the Cascade Mountains of Washington State at 1700 mph by businessman/pilot Kenneth Arnold. Ground observers reported seeing formations of discs at same time and place. More than 1500 reports of daylight sightings in newspapers.

Official report of crashed flying disc recovered near Roswell, New Mexico, quickly explained by Army Air Forces as weather balloon, despite later witness descriptions of unusually light and strong materials.

The year also saw the first preliminary study by U. S. Army Air Forces Intelligence of a dozen flying disc sightings concludes: "Something is really flying around".

This section lists documented sightings from throughout the world, including those of prehistory. Many as of today misconception of historical IFO's but many not.

The List ends in 1947, allowing Modern day UFOlogy to continue.

The first page on this section regards past sightings in the North West UK.
