6: The Minutes of Our Mythology, Part 1: 1947 The Primer Year

1947 is considered to be the cornerstone of modern ufology. Most people know it for the Roswell crash or for Kenneth Arnold's sighting alone, but is there 1947 than we give it credit for? In this first of a two part series, I explore the fifteen minutes that changed the world and made flying saucers a house hold name. Join us as we explore the minutes that shaped our mythology.
