TL;DR: We’ll give the usual treatment to Kenneth Arnold, the Maury Island incident, and a couple of closely associated personalities, Raymond A. Palmer and Samuel Eaton Thompson. The bonus will be where the very strange associations of Arnold’s birthplace lead us (spoiler: to the phony Space Shuttle Challenger disaster!).

It must firstly be remarked that all we will discuss takes place in the area of Puget Sound. I have written before that “They” seem to operate out of various historical strongholds scattered around America, and Puget Sound appears to be one of them. Boeing is a ginormous defense contractor, but do you really think that cloudy and rainy Seattle is a great place to build airplanes rather than, say, the dry and clear Southwest? And when it was all popping off in Silicon Valley, why does Microsoft very controversially relocate to Redmond? Perhaps now you have your answers.

It must secondly be remarked that for some reason, the Kenneth Arnold UFO sighting has, in my lifetime, always been low-profile, like it’s on the way to being written out of history. Virtually every UFO enthusiast begins their discussion with the Roswell incident. That wiki page tells us it was not always that way:

With no phone or radio, Brazel was initially unaware of the ongoing flying disc craze. Amid the first summer of the Cold War, press nationwide covered Kenneth Arnold's account of what became known as flying saucers….

(Quick note: see how “They” hand down our culture to us, which we always believe developed naturally? The concept and term “flying saucer” originated here.)

Why is the Arnold case being dropped from the narrative? I do not know, but perhaps it is this: Roswell does not follow on naturally from Kenneth Arnold. That is, the craft he saw were semi-circular, with one of the them being bat-winged. These shapes have never been associated with Roswell, so you have to ask yourself who the hell is writing these scripts? Would it not have been more convincing to suggest one of the Washington craft crashed in New Mexico?

My answer, FWIW, is that there are too many splinters sticking up from the Arnold incident. In that way “They” have of doing it, these splinters need to be sanded down to create a nice smooth brain surface for their narrative to slide over.

Let’s begin here: You know how I just remarked that few realize the Kenneth Arnold sighting took place right before Roswell? Fewer still realize that the Maury Island incident took place only three days before the Arnold incident, and in the same place! Maury Island is in Puget Sound and Mt. Rainier is just south. Again, nothing about the Maury Island UFO matches the Kenneth Arnold UFOs. And again, who TF is writing this?

But let’s fast-forward/rewind to Kenneth Arnold. You may have known that he was a businessman who happened to be a pilot who flew himself around a lot on said business. Makes it more reasonable to believe he spent a lot of time in the air, right? Okay, sure, but he also instantly turned into a UFO investigator. What are the chances? I think you may begin to agree that the chances are 100%.

I won’t get into all the nonsense concerning either the Arnold sighting or the Maury Island incident themselves. Believe anything you wish about them. Here’s one surprise, though:

Arnold then decided to contact Lieutenant Frank Brown of Military Intelligence, Fourth Air Force, Hamilton Field, California.

Yep, that’s a name from the list of people of the Salem witch trials. Another surprise: the visit from Brown and the other Intel guy was where we were handed down the popular-to-this-day concept of “Men in black”. Yet one more surprise: read that wiki page to find that the guy that handed it to us was Gray Barker, Surprise not surprise on all this, though, right?

At this point, if you’ve been looking at the wikis for both the Arnold and Maury Island incidents, you will have seen the name Raymond A. Palmer. That dude has a helluva long wiki page, does he not? As I would consider the many things mentioned there “tainted”, there are two I would highlight: the very prominent publisher of the personal computing era Ziff Davis, and that Palmer was key to promoting “The Shaver Mystery” and Richard Sharpe Shaver. As a very young conspiracy theorist, I recall being intrigued by the Shaver material. I could not then have even begun to imagine how different my worldview would eventually become.

Can I connect Ray Palmer to the Salem Witch Trials? Well, I don’t know how hard I have to work at such things these days, but I can tell you that off Salem Harbor you will find Palmer Cove. Good luck finding out exactly who it was named after and their genealogy. If you do, please let me know. If you want a little more, I can tell you a bit about Katharine (Unknown) Palmer (abt. 1624 - aft. 1663):

On multiple occasions, Katherine Palmer was accused of witchcraft in Wethersfield [Connecticut, just over 100 miles from Salem]…. Demos states that in 1659 and 1660 members of the same family charged that Goody Palmer (Katherine) had caused the illnesses and deaths of three family members…. Henry and Katherine Palmer disappear from the Wethersfield records after 1663….

We finally come to another alien encounter investigated by Arnold, that of Samuel Eaton Thompson, which took place in 1950 while driving to his home in Centralia, Washington.

First, is Thompson from one of these Salem Witch families? Not a surprise but there’s no genealogy. I can, however, refer you to Lady Gwen Thompson. She’s prominent in Wicca, including something to do with something called the “Wiccan Rede”. Believe that crap if you wish, but I see it simply as Them on the one hand telling you witches are fake, and on the other selling you fake witchery.

The Lady’s wiki discredits the lineage idea, but this more detailed article give us some profitable knowledge:

Were there really any witches involved in the Salem witchcraft trials? (New England Folklore 7/5/2019)

They did find that Thompson had ancestors in Salem during the trials and that members of her family had later studied esoteric topics like Spiritualism. It seems likely that Thompson had inherited some occult lore from her grandmother but it was probably not older than the 19th century.

I conclude that the Thompsons are one of “those” families and were at Salem. Just like many of Their other initiatives I have yet to write up, I’ve already collected a bunch of data concerning “Spiritualism”. That one statement also seems consistent with the idea that this bullshit was invented in the 1800’s, just like I thought.

By the way, neither the wiki nor that article even notes what leaps out to me in red flashing lights: the name of her grandmother was Adriana Porter. Since our subject is fake UFOs, did I ever mention that Stanton Friedman’s first wife, to whom he was married when he “broke” Roswell, was Susie Virginia Porter?

Perhaps more damning is the peculiar name Eaton. Bloodlines being paramount to these Elites, they typically use their mother’s maiden name as their middle name. Probably no surprise at this point, but there were Eatons back at the beginning:

PASSENGER PROFILE: The Eaton Family (The Mayflower Society)

I fired a torpedo through that boat as being something other than just an ordinary boatload of buckle-shoed religious fundies seeking freedom in this post. Enough said.

Now, here’s some trivia I bet you didn’t know, let alone cared about: Samuel Eaton Thompson’s tiny hometown of Centralia is twinned with the other tiny town of Chehalis, Washington. Do you know where Kenneth Arnold took off from on his fateful journey? The Chehalis–Centralia Airport. What are the chances!? 100%, right?

Bonus: Did you think this post got weird? It gets weirder. You’ll have to decide if it means anything, but I know for sure I couldn’t possible make it up.

You see, Kenneth Arnold grew up in a town named Scobey, Montana, named after a cattleman named Major Charles Richardson Anderson Scobey, about whom I can find no information.

That name is strange, isn’t it? If it’s pronounced as I believe, then the only person with even a similar name I’m aware of is Dick Scobee. I will assume everyone is aware of one of the oddest conspiracy theories out there, that he was one of the astro-nots who was not actually on board the Space Shuttle Challenger when it exploded into a zillion pieces. No, that’s not the weird part.

Kenneth Arnold was flying to Yakima, Washington. If you were driving from there to Seattle, you would unavoidably pass through the microscopic town of Cle Elum, Washington, population about 2000. Guess who was born there? Dick Scobee.

There’s more. As a young child, Dick moved to Auburn, Washington, a suburb of Seattle. Depending on exactly where he lived in Auburn, had 8-year-old Dick gone as few as three miles northwest to the shores of Puget Sound and looked out over the waters on a certain day in June, he would have witnessed the Maury Island incident.

Thanks for reading!
