Description

GET‌ ‌EVERY‌ ‌EPISODE‌ ‌AND‌ ‌BONUS‌ ‌CONTENT‌ ‌AT:‌ ‌‌www.patreon.com/crackpotpodcast‌ In the late 1940s, the skies over America became the stage for a series of baffling aerial encounters that defied explanation. In this episode, we dive into three of the most famous UFO incidents of the era: the Gorman Dogfight of 1948, where a seasoned pilot engaged in a dangerous midair chase with an unidentified object over North Dakota; the Mantell UFO Incident, in which a Kentucky Air National Guard pilot tragically lost his life while pursuing a mysterious craft; and the Chiles-Whitted Encounter, a chilling case involving two airline pilots who reported a glowing, cigar-shaped UFO hurtling past their commercial flight. Were these encounters misidentified earthly aircraft, classified military experiments, or something more extraordinary? Join us as we explore the facts, theories, and lingering questions surrounding these early UFO encounters that helped shape modern-day ufology.
