Roswell, New Mexico, for example, was just such a nuclear site, where one of the earliest alleged crashes took place in early July of 1947, just after the sighting of private pilot Ken Arnold, which took place on June 24, 1947, near Mount Rainier, Washington. It was the latter event that in fact gave us the expression “flying saucer” through a journalist reporting on the incident the next day. New England has also played a special role.
