Episode 518 - An Estimate of the Situation (Rhodes UFO)

from It Gets Weird · host It Gets Weird

Hey there friends and weirdos! This week we ask a question that somehow didn't occur to us for about a decade: who took the first UFO photo? Well, it's possible it was a man named William Rhodes, depending on who you ask. Did this guy really take the first photograph of a flying saucer all the way back in 1947, hot off the heels of Kenneth Arnold's original sighting? Did Air Force Intelligence try to smear Rhodes as a kook, and if so, why? All this and much more!
