MP3 of the Day
On this day in 1948 Kentucky Air National Guard pilot, Thomas Mantell crashed his P-51 Mustang while in pursuit of a supposed UFO. The case marked a sharp shift in both public and governmental perceptions of UFOs. Previously, the media often treated UFO reports as silly news. However, following Mantell’s death public concern dramatically increased about the phenomenon. Today we have The U.F.O. Man by Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers. Happy Friday!
