Authentic “Flying Saucers” Over Washington in 1952

• In July 1952, numerous ‘UFOs’ were reported flying over Washington, D.C., many of which were filmed. The sightings were confirmed by civilians, military, radar operators and pilots. Military jets were dispatched to take a closer look at these objects, but whenever they got close the UFOs instantaneously accelerated at speeds still unattainable by any known aircraft today. The incident was known as “the Big Flap” and is well known among ufologists.

• Air Force Colonel Ross Dedrickson gave a first person account:” I counted nine (UFOs) … they were round, the typical disk type aircraft, spacecraft. But they were there, they were illuminated, they were quite visible, their configuration was quite conspicuous.  (see 24-second video clip below)

• The sightings over the White House were reported by every major American newspaper at the time. President Truman held a press conference where he urged government officials to “discuss” this topic “in every meeting” that the administration had with the military. Truman added that “there’s always things like that going on – UFO’s – and they’ve had other things you know.”

• General Nathan Twining wrote a memo on September 23, 1947 stating that the “phenomenon reported is something real and not visionary or fictitious” and that “the reported operating characteristics such as extreme rates of climb, maneuverability (particularly in roll), and action which must be considered evasive when sighted or contacted by friendly air-craft and radar, lend belief to the possibility that some of the objects are controlled either manually, automatically or remotely.”

• The UFO topic truly leaves no aspect of humanity untouched. We have been visited and are still being visited by intelligent beings that are not human. The realization that we’re not alone is quite significant. In the past, UFOs were considered a “conspiracy theory”. Not enough people had yet been exposed to it, and we waited on the mainstream press and leadership to tell us when it was okay to talk about. We tend to put the conspiracy label on topics that simply go against what we currently believe as opposed to what is true. In this process, we believe it is ‘logical’ to ignore evidence on the UFO topic. And the UFO field has been plagued with disinformation. It can be difficult to arrive at any sort of truth/conclusion about the subject.

• Are these elusive extraterrestrial beings hoping to see a change in our planet before revealing themselves? Are they hoping that we as a civilization will become more peaceful, harmonious and less destructive? We have so much potential to create an incredible experience on this planet, where all life can thrive. But we hold it back with our limiting beliefs, lowered states of consciousness, and an inability to open our minds to this reality. Perhaps the ET/UFO phenomenon will help with our mind-expanding process more than we realize.

• Examples from our ancient past show that UFOs have been documented for thousands of years. This continues today with many instances of videos, radar trackings, etc., documenting UFOs. Recent footage of UFOs released and confirmed by the Pentagon also makes this quite clear. In addition, there are millions of pages of declassified documents from multiple government agencies describing encounters with objects that perform maneuvers no known aircraft is capable of doing.

• But we don’t need ‘them’ to tell us that extraterrestrial UFOs exist. The copious amount of video footage, pictures, and thousands of documented cases make it clear that something is going on.

Did you know that UFOs have been filmed/documented for thousands of years? There are many

examples from our ancient past that show this, and many modern day examples in the form of videos, radar trackings etc. For example, here’s one of many documents that can be found within the CIA’s electronic reading room that makes it quite clear that authentic footage exists.

Recent footage of UFOs released and confirmed by the Pentagon also makes this quite clear, not to mention millions of pages of declassified documents from multiple government agencies describing encounters with objects that perform maneuvers no known aircraft is capable of doing. The thing is, we didn’t need ‘them’ to tell us, and footage, pictures and thousands of interesting cases make one thing quite clear, something is going on.

What Happened: One example from the past I like to use comes from July of 1952, when multiple UFOs were filmed flying over Washington D.C. In fact, during that summer there were a number of sightings reported. These sightings were known as “the Big Flap” and are quite well known among many ufologists. During that time, military jets that were sent out to take a closer look at these objects did so to no avail. The objects instantaneously accelerated at speeds that are still not attainable today by any known man-made craft, similar to the many examples that exist today. All of the sightings during this time were confirmed by civilians, military, radar operators

and pilots. The same goes for many sightings today, with the Pentagon’s recent release being a prime example.

General Nathan Twining, author of a September 23, 1947 memo stated that the “phenomenon reported is something real and not visionary or fictitious” and that “the reported operating characteristics such as extreme rates of climb, maneuverability (particularly in roll), and action which must be considered evasive when sighted or contacted by friendly air-craft and radar, lend belief to the possibility that some of the objects are controlled either manually, automatically or remotely.”

The sightings over the White House rocked local consciousness and were being reported by every major American newspaper at the time. They caused so much of a stir that President Truman held a press conference to answer questions about the event. During that conference, he admitted that government officials “discuss” this topic “in every meeting” that the administration has with the military. He went on to say that “there’s always things like that going on, UFO’s and they’ve had other things you know.”
