Is It True That UFOs Buzzed The White House In 1952?

It is true that radar operators saw formations of unidentified flying objects on their scopes over Washington D.C. in 1952. The objects were said to move in playful patterns, travelling at low speed then accelerating away at thousands of miles per hour. Many radar operators at separate sites saw the same blips at the same time in the same location, giving some validity to their claims. Fighter jets were scrambled several times to intercept and investigate the unusual flying objects. When this happened, the blips would usually disappear from the scopes, then re-appear once the aircraft had landed again. On some occasions though, pilots did manage get close to the UFOs, reporting visual sightings of saucer-shaped craft. The UFOs appeared several times over Washington D.C. in 1952 and the incidents made headline news in reputable newspapers such as the Washington Post, which carried headlines like "Saucer Outran Jet, Pilot Reveals."
