Some more UFO stuff

[F2d5thCav]

I never read this about the sighting of saucers over Washington DC in 1952.  This is Vallée writing in Trinity.

Most newsmen in the US folded their investigations and accepted the statement that there had been nothing more than questionable radar confirmation. That belief still stands, even in the most recent documentaries about the phenomenon.

Yet, according to both Wilbert Smith and Arthur Lundahl, a piece of metal did detach itself and was studied.

And the real reason it “ detached itself” was that the Navy pilot in question shot the Hell out of it after receiving the authorization to fire at the flying disk when it penetrated the most heavily protected area in the United States, a fact that has been kept from the highly malleable American media for well over a half century.

"highly malleable"
