The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette reveals that Charlie T. Hamlet, superintendent of the Kingsport, Tennessee Times News newspaper, had sighted UFOs over Kingsport in 1945.

Quote from the article:
“The mysterious saucers first were reported June 25 in the state of Washington, but Charlie T. Hamlet, superintendent of the Kingsport, Tenn., ‘Times News’ composing room, said yesterday he had seen the discs two years ago.

They were ‘of a bright, aluminium color’ and ‘were going at terrific speed,’ Hamlet said, explaining he kept quiet about them because of the Oak Ridge atomic bomb plant, then a war secret.”
