Washington (State)

A state in the Pacific Northwest that served as the absolute epicenter of the 1947 flying saucer wave. It is the location of the Kenneth Arnold sighting, the Maury Island incident, and numerous early reports from military and civilian pilots. The state's sensitive military installations, including the Hanford nuclear site, made the influx of UAP reports a high-priority national security concern.

The epicenter of the 1947 UFO wave and home to sensitive nuclear sites monitored for UAP incursions.
