Washington DC UFO Incident 1952 Photograph Flying Saucer Over Capital Bldg. 8X10

Description: Washington DC UFO Incident 1952 Photograph Flying Saucer Over Capital Bldg. 8X10, created in the style of a 1952 photo. Background: From July 12 to 29, 1952, a series of unidentified flying object (UFO) sightings were reported in Washington, D.C., and later became known as the Washington flap, the Washington National Airport Sightings, or the Invasion of Washington. The most publicized sightings took place on consecutive weekends, July 19–20 and July 26–27, 1952. An air traffic controller at Washington National Airport, spotted seven objects on his radar. The objects were located 15 miles south-southwest of the city; no known aircraft were in the area and the objects were not following any established flight paths. On one of National Airport's runways, a Capital Airlines pilot, was waiting in the cockpit of his DC-4 for permission to take off. After spotting what he believed to be a meteor, he was told that the control tower's radar had detected unknown objects closing in on his position. The pilot observed six objects — "white, tailless, fast-moving lights" — over a 14-minute period. Maintaining radio contact with Washington National Airport during his sighting, and the senior air-traffic controller later related that "each sighting coincided with a pip we could see near his plane. When he reported that the light streaked off at a high speed, it disappeared on our scope." Meanwhile, at Andrews Air Force Base, the control tower personnel were tracking on radar what some thought to be unknown objects, but others suspected, and in one instance were able to prove, were simply stars and meteors. However, a Staff Sgt. on duty observed an orange-red light to the south; the light "would appear to stand still, then make an abrupt change in direction and altitude . . . this happened several times." At one point both radar centers at National Airport and the radar at Andrews Air Force Base were tracking an object hovering over a radio beacon. The object vanished in all three radar centers at the same time. At 3 a.m., shortly before two United States Air Force F-94 Starfire jet fighters from New Castle Air Force Base in Delaware arrived over Washington, all of the objects vanished from the radar at National Airport. However, when the jets ran low on fuel and left, the objects returned, which convinced the senior air-traffic controller at Washington National Airport that "the UFOs were monitoring radio traffic and behaving accordingly." The objects were last detected by radar at 5:30 a.m. NOTE: This is an artist's rendition, not an actual photograph of the event. Through this artist's rendition, the audience is encouraged to explore the enduring fascination and cultural impact of the Roswell incident. The artist has taken creative liberties to convey the mysterious nature of the incident, incorporating elements that evoke a sense of wonder and curiosity. 8x10 inch Photograph ReproductionSIZE: 8X10 Inch Art PrintPRINTER: Epson industrial printers.PAPER: The matte print paper we use features a beautiful soft white printing surface with outstanding ink holding capabilities.
