The Early Beginnings of MUFON
By Torre Nelson
(November 6th, 2023)
Interest in unidentified flying objects (UFOs) in the United States skyrocketed in the late 1940s as a spate of significant sightings began in 1947 and gained national attention. On June 24th, 1947, private pilot and businessman, Kenneth Arnold saw nine flying disc-shaped objects near Mt. Ranier, Washington. The next day, while speaking to reporters Bill Bequette and Nolan Skiff of the East Oregonian newspaper, Mr. Arnold described what he saw as skipping “saucers.” Both reporters used the term “saucer-like” and the term “flying saucers” was born.
Less than two weeks later, on July 4th, three crew members of United Airlines Flight 105 reported seeing multiple unidentified objects in the sky over the Pacific Northwest. Then on the following Tuesday, July 8th, the local newspaper in Roswell, New Mexico, The Roswell Daily Record, published an article with the headline “RAAF Captures Flying Saucer on Ranch in Roswell Region.” Although the Air Force recanted the story the next day, the interest in UFOs swept the country and reported sightings proliferated. Soon UFO Investigation groups started springing up across the nation.
One group of UFO enthusiasts in Minnesota played a role in the development of the largest UFO organization the United States, if not the world. Let us look at how the organization’s humble beginnings developed and how it interacted with and impacted other organizations.
