Barak Obama and Angela Merkel

Germany’s leader, Angela Merkel, has confronted U.S. president Barack Obama over the likely tapping of her communications. The White House has said the U.S. “is not monitoring and will not monitor” her communications, but has not denied doing so in the past.

France is already angry at the U.S. for allegedly recording millions of its citizens’ calls, an accusation that has been denied. Similarly, the Germans have also been heavily targeted and now the Spanish are getting nervous too.

Front page of the Seattle Times, July 27, 1947.

 

Right into the middle of it all came the Maury Island UFO incident. History Link writes:

On or after June 26, 1947, Harold Dahl and Fred Crissman report the explosion on June 21, 1947, of a giant doughnut-shaped “flying saucer” near Maury Island in Puget Sound. They make the report after another sighting makes national news on June 26, 1947. … Dahl reported observing six large “doughnut-shaped” vehicles … One appeared distressed and spewed chunks of debris that rained on Dahl’s boat, killing his dog and injuring his son. After taking shelter on the island, Dahl returned to Tacoma and showed the evidence to his employer, Fred Crissman.
