On June 24, 1947 pilot Kenneth Arnold made a claiming statement of witnessing a gleaming aircraft that he described to be “saucer like”. Despite not having any evidence such as photos, his sighting became the first and most famous report of a flying saucer and thus created a cultural influence on the human imagination.
Astronomer Carl Sagan even noted that depictions of UFOs in entertainment often have a strong influence on how observers perceive phenomena in the sky. You’d think that with the modern technology we have in our hands, called video cameras, would help update our...
