It was a sunny afternoon on June 24th, 1947, and Kenneth Arnold was flying his small aircraft over Mineral, Washington. He was heading to Yakima but took a slight detour to look for a lost US Marine Corps plane. If he could find it, he’d collect a nice reward.

Flying near Mount Rainier, he spotted a shiny object in his plane's mirror. Then, he saw multiple flashes of light. It looked like a group of aircraft, flying in formation. But something was wrong - these 'aircraft' didn't have tails. And they were flying faster than anything he’d ever seen. After about two minutes, the objects vanished near Mount Adams.

When Kenneth landed in Yakima, he immediately told his friends and airport staff about his bizarre experience. By the time he reached Pendleton, Oregon, his story had spread. Reporters were eager to hear it.

In describing the odd movement of these objects, Kenneth said it was like a teacup saucer skipping across a lake. At that moment, the term “flying saucer” was born.

And over the next two weeks, events would unfold that would affect every person on Earth. And change the course of history.

You gotta do a part 2 and maybe even 3. You started us down this rabbit hole!! You’ve gotta help see us through ❤

[mikewarren]

I'll stay up late since the Why Files are worth the sleep deprivation.

I’m 75 and a Vietnam veteran. I love all your videos. So informative!
Have you ever produced a video of the Gulf of Tonkin incident that led to the Vietnam War. I’ve always believed that our government lied to get involved in war.
Keep producing your wonderful videos!

[maxvigil]

I live in New Mexico, and in 2000 I along with thousands of others, saw a huge low flying disc. Later that evening, the local news aired that thousands of people reported the sighting but Holloman Airforce Base claimed it was a weather balloon they had launched. I saw it close up and it was no balloon.. it was awe inspiring.

[charlessage]

I'm pretty well versed in this stuff, but I ALWAYS learn new details from the Why Files. And your production is getting more gripping and compelling as you go! Keep up the great work!

[primykins]

Why would you ask if we want to see that video?! Of course we want to hear it!
<Hyperventilates from excitement>

What an incredible episode! Such content and good grief the length! Must have taken so much effort to put this together.

You and your entire team are remarkable. Bravo!

[Azrael]

Your ability to research a topic and then neatly put together an easy to understand timeline with connections between events is just absolutely unmatched. Best channel in the world, period.

I always start from the very beginning just to watch you lower the chair

Don’t ever stop lowering the chair

It’s a high point for me 0:06

[AnthonyRBlacker]

A.J. you are, in my honest opinion, the BEST story teller out here. You absolutely do the 100% best work on the internet. You share everything we all think we've heard, give all the facts to support what everyone has said, then you bring us all back down to Earth with the FACTS behind the facts produced earlier. You have SUCH a way of speaking, you've spent your life refining your ways and you've done a WONDERFUL job!! Thank you SO much for sharing with us!

Was waiting for this one. My father lived in Albuquerque in 1947 with my grandfather and grandmother. My grandfather was a chemical engineer for Dow Chemical in Michigan during the late 30s and early 40s. Working with Ray McIntyre, they rediscovered styrofoam, and Dow patented it. About this time, my grandmother became increasingly ill, and they were advised she had to move to a warmer dryer climate of face possible death. So he asked for a transfer to a climate with these conditions. They offered up Sandia Labs in New Mexico. I think most are aware of what Sandia was. Dow Chemical contacted engineering support to them at the time because they were using Dow's chemicals to make a modified version of styrofoam. One day, the government showed up with a classified project that had the highest priority. The teams were given parts of a whole to analyze and report the findings. My father remembers his father being very excited because it was something completely foreign he'd never seen. They did their job, turned over the findings, and everything was confiscated. They were reminded of the classified nature and consequences, then nothing more. Sadly, my father was only 10 years old at the time, and 6 years later, my grandfather died of cancer. It is likely due to the work on styrofoam. So the trail stopped there.
Later, when I heard the Bob Lazar story, it made a lot more sense to me. Something happened there, and it consumed a lot of assets in a short time to simply be a weather balloon.
Thanks for the great story and take care!

[psycosis]

I would like to see a part 2 as well. You level of research and the amount of time you put into your videos is appreciated.

[andreprayer]

As a vet I would like to introduce you to a term “needs of the army (military)”. So yes a cook can and will be assigned guard duty. Guard is a general order ( duty) which all soldiers WILL do.

[micoley]

WE NEED THE REST OF THE STORY! Your videos are amazing, thank you.

[ernestomorales]

Yes !! I'm ready for part two and three ! By the way, the longer episodes are simply better my friend. Thank you AJ and Hecklefish.

[udanbug]

Do we want a part two? Lemme see... YES!
Thanks for part one. Most of this I'd seen before, but it was always one side or the other. Thanks for giving us both sides of he story.

[johnbaldwin]

Has anyone else noticed the video is 51:00 minutes long. Are AJ & Hecklefish giving us a clue about area 51 and Roswell incident??? Asking for a friend.

[EpikTek]

I have to say, my favorite thing about AJ is that he doesn't feel like he has to end it with Busted or Confirmed, it's ok to say that it's impossible to know one way or the other with the facts available. I wish more people would see the world that way.

[BULLTRONHERO]

Of COURSE you have to make the Roswell Pt. 2 episode! I can't believe there's even any question about that. Thanks for a great episode!

[matthewbecker]

Speaking on behalf of Why Filians world wide, yes AJ, a deep dive into a talkative alien would be very much appreciated. Much love as always, brother! 👍🙏

[johnhough]

Your fish, Sir ... is a double-damned, sarcastic, ironic cynic.
That my first 3 reasons for him getting my vote every time.
And there's plenty more; our Mr Heckle for President! Yay!
