jul 1, 1952 - Washington, DC UFOs Buzzed the White House

Description:

One air-traffic controller at National Airport spotted seven slow-moving radar blips far from civilian or military flight paths. After colleagues saw them too and the lights buzzed the capital and White House fighter jets were deployed. The objects instantly flew away and were never caught. Newspaper headlines screamed “Saucers Swarm Over Capital,” causing the Air Force to blame a temperature inversion.
