In July 1952, during the week over the Washington Capitol and UFOs flew by the White House. Witnesses were hundreds of people, there are dozens of photos and meters of captured films. Event, the reliability of which no one doubts the story ufology came in as the “Washington Carousel” (see also puzzles in stories).
Attack on washington
July 19, 1952 at 23:40 on the screen of the Washington radar Airport appeared seven objects. Objects did not fly the corridors established for airplanes, did not keep order, moved jerky and made the most unthinkable turns. Dispatcher edward Nagent reported to the Chief Controller Harry Barnes: “Sir, I’m watching on Radar group of seven objects. They do not respond to requests. According to mine there are no planes in the sky. And … sir, that doesn’t look like aircraft”.
Barnes contacted the tower manager: “You see them on your radar? “-” Yes, sir. And not only on radars, we observe them visually “-” And what is it? “-” It looks like bright yellow clots light, moving towards the city center. “Administrative center Washington is the Capitol, the heart of America.
Barnes urgently contacted Andrew’s Air Force Base: “Guys, do you know that a group of objects is flying toward Washington? “” Yes, we are leading them already 20 minutes. “” So scratch yourself, they will soon be right above the city. If these are Russian missiles, then we all will not be happy. ”
Air Force sergeant on duty did not answer anything stupid civilian. It could not be Russian missiles: where did you see rockets that dramatically change speed, altitude and trajectory, making sharp turns at 90 degrees? There were no such missiles then. But there were objects! All radars fixed them, they flew over the base Air Force “Bolling”, dozens of people saw them with their own eyes.
At 3:00, two F-94 fighters took off from the air force base in Nyukastla Starfire However, in the indicated area, no UFO pilots discovered. Objects disappeared as soon as fighters took off from airfield. Airplanes patrolled the space until they out of fuel. When the fighters left the sky, the UFOs returned. IN for 6 hours, luminous balls flew over Washington, constantly hovering over the Capitol, then over the White House. Hundreds took to the streets people and clicked the shutters of their cameras. Last time UFO appeared on the radar screens at 5:30 in the morning.
Return
July 26th, everything repeated. At 20:15 UFO spotted radar radars Washington Airport and Andrew’s Air Force Base, pilots watching them, flight attendants and passengers of the National Airlines liner, coming to Washington. At 21:30 white again flew over the city luminous balls, then freezing, then jerking at a speed of 11.000 km / h
Reporters of leading newspapers and journalists scurried along the streets of Washington TV and radio companies prepared reports from the scene.
At 23:20, two fighters appeared in the sky above Washington. One of the pilots, having noticed 4 objects, decided to pursue them. However, from a pursuer he himself turned into a “game”: UFOs surrounded him, organizing a kind of “escort” to a flying fighter. However there was no tragedy: “scaring” the pilot, the objects flew away.
At 01:00 Major Fournet arrived at Andrew Base experts in the field of radar. Expert opinion was depressing: it’s not atmospheric interference, it’s solid objects, up to 40m. in diameter. Fighters again raised. And again, as soon as fighters appeared in a given area, UFOs left him, and how only the planes left for the base, the UFOs returned. “Show” went on all night, only in the morning the “air visitors” left Washington in peace.
Pentagon: there were no UFOs!
Descriptions of the events of July 19-26 occupied the first pages American newspapers: over Washington, over the Capitol, over Bely unknown objects fly home, and the valiant air force can’t do anything to do this, just look at the screens of their radars and helplessly shrug!
To calm the raging passions of the Pentagon, July 29 was a press conference was organized with the participation of the Air Force intelligence director John Samford. The general assured the agitated population: the observed phenomena were the result of air flow inversions and did not pose any danger.
Samford’s explanation did not satisfy anyone. Pilots airport controllers and employees, numerous eyewitnesses, observing a UFO – no one believed in a far-fetched version. Did not believe in she and the military themselves, issuing a secret order for pilots on July 29 Air Force: when “flying saucers” are detected, chase them, force to landing, and in case of disobedience to shoot down.
However, the Pentagon officially adhered to the “nothing” version wasn’t. “Journalists made the right conclusion: military truths are not they will say.
The Pentagon made conclusions from all that had happened: since 1954 all encounters with UFOs have become a matter of national security. Now all the materials about such events that took place lay in the folders on which the stamp stood “top secret, the announcement is not subject to. ”
