The events in the early hours of 25th February 1942 have been sensationalized several times into Hollywood movies, and perhaps because of this there can be a tendency to forget the incident was very real, costing several lives, offering up one of the most famous pictures in UFO history, and perhaps most importantly, still remains unexplained. At least to any satisfactory degree. Taking place only months after the brutal attacks on Pearl Harbor – an incident that would drag the United States into the war raging in Europe – the entire United States was already on high alert. And this was particularly so with cities along the western US coastline of the Pacific.

Well done! An excellent article full of pertinent information that is germane to today’s UFO issues. While researching for my own writing this came up in my search results along with the typical fodder that glosses over this incident. While looking at the map and the route of travel, it made me think of several other famous sightings where the object traveled slowly across county & state lines. The Phoenix sighting among others. That would seem to be a shared characteristic of sightings of the large craft. This was a fine piece of work and I will look forward to reading more!
