The air force was overwhelmed and on July 9, 1947, General George Schulgen asked an FBI official for help. They included the now famous Roswell affair in New Mexico in early July, which was quickly and successfully debunked as a weather balloon a few photographs a number of hoaxes but also many sightings by pilots, military officers and professionals. The Arnold case was followed by a wave of sightings across North America and afterwards in other countries too. Although Palmer died many years ago and the magazine changed ownership, Fate still exists and for some years I was its UFO columnist and Consulting Editor. In 1948, Palmer launched a new paranormal magazine called Fate with a cover story by Arnold himself. Arnold became also associated with science-fiction publisher Ray Palmer, writing with him the classic book, The Coming of the Saucers. Governor of Idaho for the Republican party in 1962. Arnold entered politics later in his career, running for Lt. Kenneth Arnold (1915-1985) was a prominent citizen with a solid reputation in his community, as was soon discovered by agent Frank Brown of the Counter-Intelligence Corps. The journalist called it a “flying saucer” and the word was soon all over the news headlines. “They flew like a saucer would if you skipped it across the water,” said Arnold. He described some of the objects as “flat like a pie pan and so shiny they reflected the sun like a mirror.” Arnold’s most memorable phrase was his remark to a journalist in Pendleton, Oregon.
