For this week, the story focuses on the story of Herbert Schirmer and his unusual UFO encounter as well as the infamous top-secret government organization dubbed as Project Blue Book. These are your Twisted Two's.#1 Herbert SchirmerAt 22-years old, policeman Herbert Schirmer from Ashland, Nebraska experienced one of the most bizarre encounters of his life. The young police officer was on patrol on December 3, 1976. While driving his patrol car, he saw what looked to be a large truck with red lights flashing on the top. He had just finished checking things off on Highway 6 and was now on the intersection of highways 6 and 63 when he spotted the lights. Like any officer, he was curious what it was and headed over to take a closer look. He moved down to Highway 63. He came to a stop, then trailed his headlights down to the large “truck,” only, it wasn’t a truck at all. According to the officer, the red lights he saw was coming from what he described as “portholes” from a disc-shaped, metallic craft. #2 Project Blue BookThe infamous Project Blue Book had two goals. One was to figure out if UFOs were a threat to national security and two, to scientifically analyze any UFO-related data when they get a hold of it.First formed in 1952, it was the successor to previous government programs, Sign (1947) and Grudge (1949). These two programs also studied UFOs but to a lesser extent than Project Blue Book. It was June 24, 1947, when businessman and pilot, Kenneth Arnold was flying his small plane from Chehalis, Washington to Yakima, Washington. During his flight, he made a brief detour after finding out there was a reward for the discovery of a downed transport plane close to Mount Rainier. Once there, he tried searching for the plane for a bit, but with no luck, he decided to give up. Arnold flew eastward, heading to his destination in Yakima when he caught sight of a bright flashing light in the distance.Support the show
