Following the publication of an article, detailing the experience of civilian pilot Kenneth Arnold, North America had its first case of UFO fever.

Hundreds of other sightings would be reported to news publications across the US within just days of Arnold's story hitting the headlines.

Within this unprecedented streak of UFO reports, the events of Roswell, New Mexico, would cement UFOs into the American psyche.

Kenneth Arnold, being one of the first public figures to have first-hand experience with these mysterious objects, became a de facto expert on the subject.

His encounter would lead him to be the first point of contact to investigate and confirm reported UFO sightings.

One of the most unusual cases Arnold was commissioned to investigate was a sighting that took place over the waters of Puget Sound in the state of Washington.

An event that would end tragically in the death of two US military service members.

This case file joined the theorist as they agreed to disagree on what they did and did not see, talking about the M.I.B. in the Maury Island UFO incident.

I knew I was like, that's why I had such a long pause.

I was like, huh?

Hey, we're back to pre-100 where I couldn't get the intro.

You think after 201 case files, this would just be fucking diled up.

After 200, it resets back to one.

Go back to our roots.
