The Very First Flying Saucer Newspaper Report; Also, Was the Falkville "Metal Man" Real or a Hoax?

A discussion about the very first newspaper article that featured a report about a flying saucer. While many people believe the description was originally made by Kenneth Arnold in 1947 when describing the nine objects he saw flying over Mount Rainier in Washington, it actually occurred in 1878. The Dallas Herald, on Jan. 25, 1878, ran an article about a saucer-shaped craft seen flying through the sky by Denison, Texas farmer John Martin on Jan. 22, 1878. Also, the 1973 Falkville, Alabama "Metal Man" is discussed. Young Police Chief Jeff Greenhaw responded to a report of a flying saucer on Oct. 17, 1973, and when he arrived on the scene, he saw and photographed an apparent robot standing on the road. The robot eventually fled into a field, and Greenhaw gave chase, only to run his police car into a ditch. But did Greenhaw actually encounter a robot, or was he the victim of a hoax?Links/Sources:Do you believe in the Metal Man? - The Cullman TribuneThe Falkville Metal Man'Aliens' invade Chehalis for annual Flying Saucer Party | The Daily ChronicleThe First “Flying Saucer” | Texas Co-op PowerHistory | Aurora, TX.Kenneth Arnold UFO sighting - WikipediaRhodes UFO photos - Rhodes UFO photographs - WikipediaLas Vegas Alien Case - YouTubeSupport Extraterrestrial Reality/Quirk Zone on Patreon:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/c/Extraterrestrial_Reality⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out my YouTube channel:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Quirk Zone - YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Extraterrestrial Reality Book Recommendations:Link to ROSWELL: THE ULTIMATE COLD CASE: CLOSED: https://amzn.to/3O2loSILink to COMMUNION by Whitley Strieber: https://amzn.to/3xuPGqiLink to THE THREAT by David M.
