The '100th Monkey' Effect
Something started in 1952, which was accomplished by 1958, which had never been noticed before. ~ "It may be that when enough of us hold something to be true, it becomes true for everyone. Lawrence Blair says: 'When a myth is shared by large numbers of people, it becomes a reality.'" - Lyall Watson, Lifetide ~

Airline pilots reported spotting unidentified lights during this period as well. Sharp UFO targets on the ARTC radar at National Airport at 9:08 p.m. and 9:15 p.m. Visual sightings were reported by civilians four times, near Herndon, Virginia and from Maryland.

~~~ JULY 27 ~~~

   1952 - WASHINGTON DC, USA - At 12:15 a.m. seven "good, solid targets" appeared on radar at National Airport near Washington, D.C. F-94 interceptors were sent from Delaware, but they made no visual contact as the UFOs were gone by the time they arrived. It was noted that there were only minor temperature inversions at the time, and these were not the likely cause of the radar blips. Five minutes later an F-94 pilot made visual contact with a round UFO. Both the UFO and the F-94 jet were seen on radar flying at the same speed. But when the jet tried to overtake the UFO it disappeared visually and on radar. "Incredible speed of the object," said the pilot.

~~~ JULY 29 ~~~

   1952 - There are 39 unexplained UFO reports recorded in the UFOCAT database for this day. Most are lacking any detail and so fall into the category of "insufficient information." All but five come from the United States. Below are seven of the more interesting cases:
   1952 - At 1:30 a.m. radar operators on the ground in Osceola, Wisconsin witnessed several clusters of up to 10 small radar targets and one large target. The small targets moved from southwest to east at 50-60 knots (60-70 mph), following each other. The large object moved at 600 knots (700 mph). One hour total time. The pilot of a F-51 Mustang in flight confirmed a visual sighting of one of the targets. (Source: Condon Committee investigation files; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns).
   1952 - Sidney Eubank went to the Enid, Oklahoma police station and told Sergeant Vern Bennell that an enormous disc had buzzed his car as he drove between Bison and Waukonis on Highway 81. The rush of air made the car leave the road while the object flew west very fast. (Sources: NICAP investigation files, reported dated July 30, 1952; Jacques Vallee, Anatomy of a Phenomenon, p. 134; Jacques Vallee, Passport to Magonia: A Century of Landings, p. 199).
   1952 - At 12:30 p.m. USAF personnel near Ennis, Montana were alerted that UFOs were coming from the direction of Seattle, Washington and headed toward their position. Twelve of them saw two to five flat disc-shaped objects fly over. One hovered for 3-4 minutes, while the others circled it. The sighting lasted 30 minutes. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, case no. 1747; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns).
   1952 - Langley AFB, Virginia. At 2:30 p.m. USAF Captain D.G. Moore, of military air traffic control, sighted a UFO coming toward the air base that flew at an estimated speed of 2,600 mph below an altitude of 5,000 feet. It was in sight for two minutes. Twenty minutes later Captain Moore and electronics technician W. Y. Hope tracked a UFO on radar moving away. The object stopped for two minutes, then moved away again very, very fast. Total duration four minutes. (Sources: Kevin Randle, Invasion Washington: UFOs over the Capitol; p. 275; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns).
   1952 - At 3:44 Herbert Mitchell and his employee in Merced, California sighted a dark, discus-shaped object, trailed two lengths behind by a silvery light. It tipped on its side, dove, hesitated, and then circled very fast. They watched it for two minutes. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, case no. 1738; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns).
   1952 - In Wichita, Kansas at 12:35 p.m. USAF shop employees Douglas and Hess saw a bright white circular craft with a flat bottom at the Municipal Airport. The object flew very fast, and then hovered 10-15 seconds over the Cessna Aircraft Co. plant. Their sighting lasted five minute sighting. (Sources: Project Blue Book files counted in official statistics, case no. 1739; Don Berliner, Project Bluebook UFO Unknowns).
 

 After July 29th, 1952, according to the 'On This Day' database of world sightings, the global 'UFO Wave' slowed down. 1952 is the year that has had the most UFO and Spacecraft activity in recorded history. The craft highlighted the capital of the United States - Washington DC. 1952 is also the year the 100th Monkey phenomenon began. Now, in 2008, we are at a time of much change, and worldwide sightings of Spacecraft and UFOs has once again become very high.
