History

Historical Context

Kenneth Arnold’s June 1947 “flying saucer” sighting triggered over 800 disc reports that peaked on July 7, leading the Army Air Force to start Project Sign, the precursor to Project Blue Book. A 1994 GAO-Air Force review later identified the Roswell debris as a Project Mogul balloon, and in 2024 the Defense Department released 64 new UAP files, including 51 videos, extending the decades-long investigation.
