On this date in 1948, Lieutenant George Gorman wrote a letter stating, “… the Air Materiel Command has issued orders classifying the information as Secret. And this makes it a General Court Martial to release any more information. The Command has asked that my commanding officer and myself be court-martialed for releasing what information we did .” The incident the young lieutenant was referring to has since become known as the Gorman Dogfight , one of the early “classics” in UFO history.
