Description
In this episode we investigate the July 1948 incident in which Eastern Airlines pilots reported a glowing object over Montgomery, Alabama—a case that fed into early government investigations and the formation of Blue Book. We explore pilot testimony, meteor theory, radar data, and the cultural context that turned an atmospheric event into one of UFO history’s most discussed cases. The discussion weighs conventional explanations against the enduring intrigue that keeps this mystery alive.
