Mantell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The three pilots reported that they couldn&#8217;t identify the object but despite being warned to not level his altitude due to risks with oxygen, but Mantell just had to get closer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"615\" height=\"479\" src=\"https:\/\/theyexist.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/0_Unidentified-Flying-Object-And-Mountain-Ranges.jpg\" alt=\"UFO - TheyExist.Space\" class=\"wp-image-2341\" srcset=\"https:\/\/theyexist.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/0_Unidentified-Flying-Object-And-Mountain-Ranges.jpg 615w, https:\/\/theyexist.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/0_Unidentified-Flying-Object-And-Mountain-Ranges-300x234.jpg 300w, https:\/\/theyexist.space\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/01\/0_Unidentified-Flying-Object-And-Mountain-Ranges-600x467.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 615px) 100vw, 615px\" \/><figcaption>The UFO was described as being &#8220;very white&#8221; <\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Only one of Mantell&#8217;s wingmen, Lt. Albert Clements, had an oxygen mask, and his oxygen was in low supply.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clements and the third pilot, Lt. Hammond, called off their pursuit at 22,500 feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, Mantell continued to get closer and some reports claim he described the object as &#8220;metallic and of tremendous size&#8221; shortly before being blacked out from lack of oxygen after reaching 25,000 feet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>His plane began to spiral towards the ground before it crashed on a farm on the state&#8217;s border with Tennessee at around 3.18pm. https:\/\/get-latest.convrse.media\/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailystar.co.uk%2Fnews%2Fweird-news%2Fmantell-ufo-incident-fatal-encounter-25871225&amp;cre=center&amp;cip=27&amp;view=web<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UFO had completely disappeared by the time his body was recovered from the wreckage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reports say the tragedy made some Airforce Intelligence specialists begin to take notice of UFO sightings as several rumours circulated about what the object was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to UFO historian Curtis Peebles, among the rumours were claims that &#8220;the flying saucer was a Soviet missile; it was a<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailystar.co.uk\/latest\/spaced-out\"> spacecraft<\/a> that shot down the plane when it got too close; Captain Mantell&#8217;s body was found riddled with bullets; the body was missing; the plane had completely disintegrated in the air; or that the wreckage was radioactive.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, no evidence has ever surfaced to substantiate any of these claims and it has never been confirmed what it was.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the incident went down in history for changing the way we view UFOs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To read the original article from dailystar.co.uk click <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailystar.co.uk\/news\/weird-news\/mantell-ufo-incident-fatal-encounter-25871225\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On January 7, 1948, Kentucky Air National Guard pilot, Captain Thomas F.
