America's First UFO Sighting Was Way Earlier Than You Think - Cracked

A chronological journey through the nooks and crannies of ufological history. Even humor/satire websites are taking note of the current UFO frenzy, with Erik Gumeny giving a brief sketch of pre-20th century American reports. The piece is interesting for its provenance and its information. Curt Collins serves up another illustrated historical piece touting The Disclosure of Richard Shaver's Saucer Secrets. It seems Shaver may have been ahead of his time in "introducing concepts that would later become part of UFO legend and lore." Collins also discusses another early UFO character in The Life and Legend of Otis T. Carr - Part 4: The CG-ES Files. With the crucial help of "an extended member of Otis T. Carr's family" and the aid of many others, Collins puts a conclusion to the life and initiatives of one of ufology's most egregious fraudsters. A 1999 encounter in Argentina: The Trenque Lauquen CE-3 sounds unique in its details. Carlos Colon's experience sounds psychological--except for his displaced truck, the somewhat corroborative story of an independent witness, and possibly even a psychic gifting as a result. (WM)
