UFO Story
On
07 January 1948 newspapers across the U.S. carried headlines similar
to theLouisville
Courier:
"F-51 and Capt. Mantell Destroyed Chasing Flying Saucer."
The "Mantell Incident" was the most thoroughly investigated
sighting of that time. Captain Thomas Mantell died trying to reach a
Skyhook balloon, launched from Clinton County AFB. He didn't know
that he was chasing a balloon because he had never heard of the huge,
100-foot-diameter skyhook balloons, let alone seen one. Mantell's
death was ultimately caused by the hype over UFOs, which no doubt
caused him to chase after it at all costs.
