Full Report
Over two consecutive weekends in July 1952, multiple unidentified objects appeared on radar over Washington D.C., including over the White House and Capitol. F-94 fighters were scrambled. The Air Force convened a press conference and ultimately attributed the sightings to temperature inversions, an explanation contested by air traffic controllers and pilots involved.
