July 16, 1945. The very first atomic bomb, codenamed Trinity, was detonated at the Alamogordo Bombing Range. Thus, the human race proved it could wield the devastating power of the atom and entered the atomic age. Only 4 years later, the Soviet Union would detonate its first nuclear weapon and set the world in a position where ushering in total global annihilation would be as simple as turning a key. With planet Earth being in such a precarious situation during the early days of the Cold War, could this have been the reason for one of the most well documented and puzzling U.F.O cases in modern history? During two consecutive weeks in the month of July in 1952, Strange objects were spotted streaking through the skies above Washington D.C. The objects traveled at speeds and in patterns that indicated something of intelligent control, going so far as seemingly disappearing when pursued by military jet aircraft and then shortly reappearing after the jets left the area. Hundreds of eyewitnesses made reports of seeing the U.F.Os and the objects even appeared on radar in multiple air control towers around the D.C. area. What could these objects have been? Why were they so interested in Washington D.C.? How did the U.S. government investigate these incidents? Join the Theorists as they look to the skies above the White House in...The Washington D.C.
