As this is the 46th aniversary of the sighting that started it all
here is a reprinted article from:

St. Louis Post Dispatch
June 26,1947
PILOT REPORTS SEEING WEIRD OBJECTS IN SKY
Pendleton, Ore., June26,-(AP)-Army and Civil Aeronautics
Administration spokesman expressed skepticism today over a report
of nine mysterious objects-as big as airplanes-whizzing over
western Washington at 1,200 miles an hour.
But Kenneth Arnold, a flying Boise, Idaho, buisinessman who said
he timed them by his plane clock, clung to his story of the shiny,
flat objects, each as big as a DC-4 passenger plane, racing over
the Cascade Mountains with a peculiar weaving motion "like the tail
of a kite."
An Army spokesman commented: "As far as we know, nothing flies
that fast except a V-2 rocket, which travels too fast to be seen."

It would be interesting to see reprints from your home town paper
durring this period in 1947. Please, if you take the time to look in the
local archives, then post them here. They really do exist.
