Kenneth Arnold never said they looked like flying saucers. He said they flew like "saucers skipping over water" and that they looked crescent-shaped or broadly like flying wings. You can find illustrations. What he said he saw was mocked in newspapers and warped into "flying saucers" because of some military trainer in the Pacific theater during World War II who had the same name as him and used clay pigeons to train marines that were called "flying saucers" in some newspaper article. Newspapers began to conflate all of these things.
I love Connor Randall, one of the purest and modest souls in the Hellier crew and invaluable researcher!
is there a Hellier Season 3?????????????????????????????????????????
In the early, early stages, it sounds like.
Still in early stages a year later. I’m so interested to see what’s going on. Connor seems different. More outgoing. Do you think they made the deal?
