In 1947, a private pilot named Kenneth Arnold reported seeing nine strange objects flying near Mount Rainier. What followed would change history. From the birth of the modern UFO era to secret government investigations, mysterious Green Fireballs, and the efforts of astronomer J. Allen Hynek, we trace the origins of a mystery that refused to disappear.

In Part One of our four-part UFO series, we examine the earliest sightings, the FBI's involvement, Project Sign, and the controversial Robertson Panel. Was the phenomenon misunderstood, misidentified, or something far more extraordinary?

The question began in 1947. Nearly eighty years later, we're still asking it.
