1947 Flying Saucer Invasion across the United States

[EndtheMadnessNow]

One researcher discovered the name of a woman listed as a secretary at the Pentagon in 1947 and managed to locate her in the early 2000s  and she agreed to an interview. She said -

The Pentagon began receiving Flying Saucer reports as early as February of that year and they were filed 'informally' in a folder named Project Saucer. 

I can certainly believe that since my database of sightings covers pretty much the entire year of 1947.

I have no doubt what the Pentagon lady said to be true.

In 1948, Air Force Gen. Nathan Twining, head of the Air Technical Service Command, established Project SIGN (initially named Project SAUCER) to collect, collate, evaluate, and distribute within the government all information relating to such sightings, on the premise that UFOs might be real and of national security concern.

The Technical Intelligence Division of the Air Material Command (AMC) at Wright Field (later Wright-Patterson Air Force Base) in Dayton, Ohio, assumed control of Project SIGN and began its work on 23 January 1948. Although at first fearful that the objects might be Soviet secret weapons, the Air Force soon concluded that UFOs were real but easily explained and not extraordinary. The Air Force report found that almost all sightings stemmed from one or more of three causes: mass hysteria and hallucination, hoax, or misinterpretation of known objects. Nevertheless, the report recommended continued military intelligence control over the investigation of all sightings and did not rule out the possibility of extraterrestrial phenomena.
