News excerpts regarding Kenneth Arnold's saucer-sighting

Kenneth Arnold was a well known and discussed "saucer-sighter". During June and July of 1947, Arnold stated seeing shiny, flat objects during one of his flights. His incident is commonly considered the 'first' sighting of a UFO, and he was the first to claim that these objects may not be from earth. Arnold did press series and as a response the Air Force released a statement stating "we have no idea what the objects are, if they actually exist". Being skeptic of the reports made by the "saucer-sighters" was not uncommon and many questions were raised regarding the incidences.
