They came... a fleet of UFO night visitors playing tag with military jets over the U.S. capital, over the Capital Building and the White House restricted air space. A nation and its press demanded answers! A 1952 sci-fi film? No, it happened 60 years ago this month when I was a little girl - 2 years prior to my UFO contact experience - when most of you were not as yet born. Again we move to a frightened government already entrenched in cover-ups about the UFO phenomena. The psychology of the human grid in 1948 ... the government will reveal the truth one day ... and life continued on.

For two nerve-wracking weekends in 1952 on July 19-20 and July 26-27, in the midst of the largest worldwide UFO sighting flap since 1947, fleets of UFOs buzzed the night skies of Washington, DC, setting-off military alarms with Air Force jets chasing UFOs with a loud chorus of media demands for official explanations. It led to the biggest Pentagon press conference since World War Two. There are those with unforgettable firsthand memories of these astounding incidents from television, radio and newspaper reports, and they who remember know there has been nothing in the history of UFOs like it since, short of an official landing and disclosure.

The lack of a decisive U.S. response to the 1952 UFO overflights, during the largest UFO flap since 1947, was a grand lost opportunity to pursue the road to contact and perhaps open new doors for space travel advances. Brushing off the UFO sightings as hot temperature inversions shut the open airing vents to positive progress. At the time, a close-up flying saucer at night was witnessed by NACA engineer Paul Hill over the Potomac River, setting him on a silent, unpublicized decades-long investigation of UFO flight characteristics, assigned by NASA (originally NACA before 1958) to study UFO reports NASA submitted. After his death in the 1990s, his family published the heroic but muzzled man's book on his study and conclusions, "Unconventional Flying Objects."
