Attention UFO enthusiasts! June 24th is Flying Saucer Day!

Arnold reportedly spotted nine, circular objects “flying like a saucer would” as he was flying in a private airplane near Mt. Rainier. He watched the metallic-like objects for about two minutes before they disappeared. His report made headlines all over the world. Read Arnold’s compelling true story – in his own words.
