Listen Later

What flew past a DC-3 passenger plane on July 24, 1948, over Alabama, and why did the Air Force destroy the evidence?

In this intriguing episode as I’ll explore the Chiles-Whitted UFO sighting of 1948, one of the most compelling and mysterious encounters in UFO history. On the night of July 24, 1948, pilots Clarence Chiles and John Whitted reported seeing a glowing, cigar-shaped object with two rows of illuminated windows while flying their DC-3 airliner near Montgomery, Alabama. This extraordinary event lasted only seconds but left a lasting impact, stirring both public imagination and top-secret government investigations.

Discover how this sighting jolted the U.S. government into action, leading to a classified Air Force investigation and the subsequent destruction of key evidence. I dive into the details of the pilots’ observations, the government’s response, and the various theories that have emerged over the decades. From secret military experiments to extraterrestrial hypotheses, this episode covers it all.
