The Arnold Case
part 3 of 3
The Age Of Arnold 1947-1952
The summer of 1947 saw the "flying saucer" explode into public=20
view for the first time. Since there was no general memory of=20
strange things in the sky the "flying saucer" seemed brand new. =20

publicity given to the subject. By the end of the summer more=20
than 90% of the American people knew about the "flying saucers"=20
and that level of recognition has scarcely changed over the last=20
four decades! Today it is obvious that most of our children fully=20
believe in the existence of "extra- terrestrial life," from E.T.=20
to Alien. Are we "fully prepared?"
