The incident began on January 7th, 1948 when Kentucky State Police Highway Patrol started to receive calls at around 1:20pm in the afternoon about a strange object in the sky over Maysville. Mantell was part of a group that had been tasked with venturing out to investigate the phenomenon.
When he, alongside his two wingmen, reached 15,000ft, they encountered an object described as "metallic" and "tremendous in size" that was moving at around half the speed of the planes. (unexplained-mysteries.com) ART Vancouver) |
