To date, no one has ever associated Lt. Col Donald L. Springer with the collection of the William A. Rhodes photograph negatives. When I say collected, I mean he planned the operation, as shown in images in my post. It is known that his field agent, Fugate was the one who went to the witness and collected the negatives on behalf of AAF intelligence, for Hamilton Field, but no one talks about Donald L. Springer! He is the guy who signed off on the first ever interview of Kenneth Arnold, and hi...

Probed ingest of: The Basement: John B. Alexander | Green Beret, Spoon Bender, UFO Investigator

Two months before Kenneth Arnold's sighting kicked off the "flying saucer" era in June 1947, two Weather Bureau employees in Richmond, Virginia tracked metallic discs through a theodolite while monitoring weather balloons. One disc appeared below their balloon at 15,000 feet, larger than the balloon itself, rounded on top, flat on the bottom, moving fast. This case sat in a classified 1948 Air Force study for decades.

Before the term UFO became widely known, there was the famous 1947 sighting by pilot Kenneth Arnold. Interestingly, Arnold never described the objects as “flying saucers”—he said they moved like a saucer skipping across water. Newspapers picked up the phrase, and the term “flying saucer” spread across the world. That one report helped shape decades of speculation, government investigations, movies, and conspiracy theories. Eventually, the U.S. Air Force adopted the term Unidentified Flying Ob...

A 1948 Air Intelligence Division draft analyzed recurring flying-object reports, conventional aircraft and foreign-development possibilities, geographic patterns, and selected visual and radar cases while acknowledging that the evidence could not determine a single origin. The document captures an early intelligence attempt to reason across a diverse case set without treating unresolved classification as proof of one technology or origin.

Fred Crisman gave these samples to Kenneth Arnold, who turned them over to Major Sanders, of the AAF who was investigating Maury Island. Later they made their way to the be photographed at Army Air Force field in Hamilton, CA. These are newly released in the May release of UFO files, on this PDF. They are categorized as an "Unidentified Substanced" https://www.war.gov/medialink/ufo/release\_1/65\_hs1-834228961\_62-hq-83894\_section\_3.pdf Lt.

Hi all, It’s tough to sift through the weeds of this subject so I decided about two years ago to start building and writing a compendium of UFO, UAP, Phenomena, fringe theorist. An encyclopaedia of who’s who in this world. I’d love to get your input on any names I may have forgotten. I’m avoiding any bias, commentary or critique, just the facts: who they are, what they do/study, where, the usual 5W1H method. Here’s my list so far: PART I — Foundations: Classic Ufology (pre-1980) Kenneth Arnol...
