UFOs, Roswell, National Security.
A lot happened starting in the summer of 1947 which may have shaped the National Security in the USA. Although you may think it was a foreign adversary that was the cause, you would be correct, but maybe it was foreign just not from this planet.

– Kenneth Arnold UFO Sighting June 24th,1947. Mt. Rainier to Mt. Adams:
While flying his airplane near Mount Rainier, Kenneth Arnold described seeing nine objects flipping or banking on their edges in unison as they turned or maneuvered causing almost blindingly bright or mirror- like flashes of light. He estimated the speed of the objects to be 1,200 miles (1,900 km) an hour.
Flying Saucer, 1947: The term, “Flying Saucer” was coined by Bill Bequette and Nolan Skiff of the East Oregonian newspaper the day after Kenneth Arnold’s sighting. Skiff used the words, “saucer-like aircraft” in his article. Then Bequette published an article using the words, “nine bright saucer-like objects” to described Arnold’s sighting.

– Mac Brazel, July 3rd, 1947: Lincoln County New Mexico, Found Strange Debris.
On the night of Wednesday July 2nd, 1947, in a remote ranch house located roughly 80 miles Northwest of Roswell in Lincoln County near the city of Corona; Ranch foreman 48-year-old W.W Mac Brazel and his 8-year-old son Vernon, were waiting out a large thunderstorm. During the thunderstorm they both heard what appeared to be a loud explosion, a different sound compared to the thunder. Early next morning, Thursday July 3rd, Mac and his son Vern went out to check on the sheep, and they came upon strange metallic debris and other unknown material scattered within a 200-to-300-yard area across a pasture.

Here’s a picture of an actual piece of metal Frank Kimbler and I found at the Mac Brazel debris location. It’s an unknown aluminum alloy not registered in any catalog. Lab results are posted in my previous Roswell Debris blogs.

– National Security Act: July 26, 1947: The National Security Act of 1947 mandated a major reorganization of the foreign policy and military establishments of the U.S. Government. The act created many of the institutions that Presidents found useful when formulating and implementing foreign policy, including the National Security Council (NSC).
– National Security Council 1947: The (NSC) advises the President on national security and foreign policy.
– The Joint Chiefs of Staff 1947: A group of senior military leaders who advise the President and Secretary of Defense and National Security Council.
– CIA Established 1947: The Central Intelligence Agency Act of 1947: When President Truman signed the National Security Act of 1947, it established the CIA. The CIA states they are the Nation’s first line of defense.
– Department of Defense was established, 1947. The United States Department of Defense (DOD) is an executive department of the U.S. federal government charged with coordinating and supervising the six U.S. armed services: the Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, Space Force, and the Coast Guard.

– September 18th, 1947: The United States Air Force was officially established due to The National Security Act of 1947.

– October 14, 1947: USAF Captain Charles E. “Chuck” Yeager became the first person to fly faster than the speed of sound. Yeager flew a Bell XS-1, nicknamed “Glamorous Glennis” (a tribute to his wife), over Rogers Dry Lake located at Edward’s Air Force Base (formerly named Muroc Air Force Base). The X-1 reached a speed of 700 miles per hour at an altitude of 43,000 feet.
Let’s recap:
In October of 1947 Chuck Yeager reached the speed of 700 miles per hour becoming the first person to break the sound barrier. Yet, in June of 1947 Kenneth Arnold estimated the disks that he witnessed, were flying 1200 miles per hour. Isn’t it interesting that the National Security Agencies and the Airforce were established after the June Arnold sighting and the July Roswell incident? What did they find? What did they learn?
What scared them? Unknown debris or bodies at the Roswell crash site?
Before 1947 there were many UFO sightings throughout the world, so Roswell wasn’t the first, just the most publicized.

Picture origin: Uknown
1910 France: A rare photograph of entry number 5 in the Catalan Cup Race at a track in France. This picture also included a strange unidentified flying object seen over the tree tops beyond the line of spectators watching this race. There is no indication whether the photographer saw this object and intended to get it in the picture.

Picture origin: George Sutton.
Summer 1932, Mid-day, St. Paris, Ohio. This picture of George Sutton of St. Paris, Ohio, taken near mid-day (Seen from the shadows on the ground.). Up from his left shoulder shows an unusual object. There were no streetlights there at that time, and no poles. This object was in the air.
FOO Fighters

The term foo fighter was used by Allied aircraft pilots during World War II to describe various UFOs or mysterious aerial phenomena seen in the skies over both the European and Pacific theaters of operations. The term originated with the 415th Night Fighter squadron, who had experienced numerous encounters with strange aerial lights over Germany in late 1944 when radar man Donald J. Meirs dubbed the lights “foo fighters” after a 1940’s era cartoon. The Robertson Panel, convened by the CIA in 1952 to examine scientific evidence of UFO’s, returned no notable findings resulting from their investigation into these incidents.
RAF fighter pilot’s 1943 sighting:
By turning suddenly and steeply, I was able to chase the light around in a circle until I could aim my four 20mm cannons at it. This I did several times until my ammunition was exhausted, but each time I observed, no apparent change in the behavior of the light.”
Balls of Light
Since the 1940’s Foo Fighters, Balls of Light, have been seen all throughout the world since then and before. I’ve actually filmed them, and during an investigation while filming Alien Highway in Missouri, a Ball of Light was seen following me, my son Dan, and a witness, while we walked through an active area. So, what are these Balls of Light? Mechanical devices? Intelligent energy? I’ll blog on that later.
If it be flying disks from the 40’s, or triangles through the 70’s or Balls of Light all throughout history, either way, we are being and have been visited in the past by intelligent life outside this planet.

Looking at the 2025 James Webb deep space image, you can clearly see the abundance of galaxies out there and this picture is just a small portion of the night sky! This number of galaxies will only increase with better technology in next generation telescopes. One Nobel Prize Winner, Dr. Penrose has peered into these images and stated, he saw something which could actually be a Parallel Universe. As technology and science advances in the coming years, we’ll probably learn there were infinite Big Bangs out there. Actually, the Big Bang theory is now being challenged.
To think our little planet is the only one that can harbor life, well in my opinion, people who think like that are, “As bright as a Black Hole”, or “Maybe a few sandwiches short of a galactic picnic”. In other words, statistically saying; “The odds that life exists outside this planet is greater than the odds of life that started on this planet.” Because there is an infinite number of galaxies, solar systems, and planets we don’t know about, we don’t have to assume there is intelligent life, there just is.
UFO’s may have been the reason for the official beginning of our National Security, we won’t know for sure until full disclosure. But whatever happened in June and July of 1947, it sure seemed to start a chain of interesting security events. So much so, it’s completely shaped how our government operates which unfortunately includes, hiding the truth of UFOs from all of us?
