The First "Flying Saucer
The early afternoon of June 24, 1947, was fineand sunny over the western United States. PilotKenneth Arnold flew slowly over the splendid
Cascade Mountains, heading towards Pendleton,Oregon. He was enjoying the peace and loneli-ness of the air as his small plane buffeted in the
wind.Suddenly his attention was drawn by a glint of
light, followed swiftly by another, then a third.
He looked towards Mount Baker and there saw aformation of nine strange aircraft swishingacross the sky.

He was baffled by their odd form. Hed neverseen anything lie it. At first he thought theymight be reflections of the sun on the cocpit
window, so he wound that down and dran in therushing blast of cold air. The strange craft werestill there.
They were moving together on a steady courseand had a weird appearace Their wings werecurved and shaped lie a crescent moonArnold
told himself they had to be some newfangled aircraft that the government was testing. Hewatched them with the admiration and respectthat one pilot gives to another in a vastly supe-rior machine.
Linig up the group against the top of a moun
tai pea, he started to time them on his dashboard cloc. He wored out the distance betweenone pea and another, which they covered remarably quicly.
Arnold did a rough calculation in his head tofigure out their speed. Then he checed it again.
It didt mae sense. The objects were flyingmuch faster than any aircraft he had ever heardabout. Perhaps they were some ind of rocet ormissile If so, then he sure hoped that they wereUncle Sams
When he landed for a brief stop at Yakima in
Washington state, he mentioned what hed seento some people on the ground. By the time he hadflown on to Pendleton, he was greeted by newspaper and radio reporters. Everybody wanted tonow about the strange machines.
Arnold told them about his sighting. He had

owever te police officers refused to meetwith Budd They told him they could direct himto the room where the woman ived. Tey ad
been steeling themselves to go and chec it outbut how do you approach a stranger and as ifshe has ever fown out of her bedroom windowinto a spaceship? The UFOlogist of course didnot tell them that he had no need to be directedto the spot e aready new where Linda ived.
Richard and Dan supplied more detas including an audio tape and then revealed the realreason for their reluctance. They were o ordinary policemen. n fact they were bodyguardsfor a major political figure who was being transported to the New Yor heiport. But the car had
stopped mysteriously on its own. The politicafigure had itnessed the entire thing. f he toldthe world about it his redibiity was suh thateveryone woud listen.

the power ailure was never recorded or why inover two years none o te occupans o the vehcles on the brdge had reported the matter to thepolie And why were all o these stories indngther way to Budd Hopkns and none o them toanybody else?
I this abucton s honestly reported, as tewtnesses allege, then it will be the case o thecentury" Bt at present it reles exclusvely Qnunsuppored, oten anonymous, tesmony. Anumber o U Ologists have attempted their ownenqures and learnt a ew dsquieting things.or example, a major newspaper oice is opposte the ste and people were working there atthe time. Nobody saw anythng. No one else ninda's buling was a wtness, either. herewere no reords o helcoper lghs tha nig.he trp hat Rchard and Dan's passenger hadbeen takng is not recorded anywhere (they sayt was a secret one). And, o course, the mysterious thrd man has not supported the story.
Rumors that Hopkns has not conrmed aegethat the thrd man" was Perez de Cuellar, ormer secretary general o the Unted Nations. DeCuellar's oice has clamed that e was not inNew York on he date n queson. He hmsel hasalso dened any knowledge o the reportedncident.
All that Budd Hopkins will say on this crucalmatter s that he knows who the tird man is. Iand when that man reveals what happened, theworld may change orever.
