Michael D Hall, "Alfred Loedding and the Great Flying Saucer Wave of 1947"

We must be cautious of the hubris of the present. When UFOs first appeared in numbers during

the great flying saucer wave of 1947, few people made the jump to an extraterrestrial hypothesis.

The subject of this book, Alfred Loedding, is significant because he did eventually lean toward that

assumption. Because he played such an instrumental role in the first official Air Force investigation

into the phenomena, it is important to analyze the progression of his theories.

For the best part of the summer of 1947 most serious minds studying the flying disc mystery, like

Alfred Loedding, considered that a domestic secret project might account for the sightings. After

eliminating that possibility, the "foreign origin" option was exhaustively explored. By 1948 foreign

origin became a catch word for visitors from outer space, but in 1947 it meant only one thing—

Russians. In fact, worries that the Soviet Union may have gleaned a Nazi super weapon at the end of

the Second World War remained in the minds of Air Force officials up through 1952. But by late

1947 some aeronautical engineers, like Alfred Loedding, began to consider that "flying saucers" may

represent intelligently controlled machines from another world. Why? What was the mind set in

1947 that could rationalize such a conclusion? What was his perspective? Where was the proof?

It is very difficult with our 1998 view of popular culture to consider a time when there was no

extensive set of preconceptions on extraterrestrial life. Without a Steven Spielberg to help us dream,

or a Star Wars trilogy and a thousand other such productions dating back to 1949, we would not

have the present-day mind set that we do. Yet, that is not to say there was not already some basis for

the consideration of alien visitation.
