The UFO sighting that coined the phrase "Flying Saucers" and kicked off the modern UFO phenomenon is more than just one man's tale of an incredible event.  The craft seen by Kenneth Arnold in 1947 preceded the Roswell crash by only a few weeks, but he wasn't alone when he observed those strange objects in the sky as we discovered when researching this case.  Kenneth was an above average observer, taking time to clock the speed, size, shape, and flight characteristics of the unknown crafts.  At the end of the day, we are left with a credible sighting and plenty of detail which was corroborated by many other pilots as well as witnesses on the ground.  Learn why the Air Force and FBI considered the validity of this account so significant that it launched the government program which would eventually become Project Blue Book. 

And if that wasn't enough, we have pastries!
