was just kind of a big hoax, and I have
photo static letters and what not from people that were involved in the
immediate family of Lieutenant Brown, I don’t think Smith or I could
figure out why the personnel that we worked with in connection with
military intelligence, why their stories got so completely loused up
when it came out of their public relations as explanations for various
things that happened.
I have photo static letters of Lieutenant Frank M Brown as to what
happened after their crash, what
the flight
engineer (Woodrow
Mathews)
said about
the plane, when
he left
the plane he saw
something lift off the top of it and he said he thought probably it was
Lieutenant Brown or Captain
Davidson, but he said he found out
when he got on the ground—he had dropped 11,000 feet in a chute-he
heard the crash and then he discovered the next morning in Kelso that
both of the people that were left on the plane were killed. He couldn’t
understand what this was that came off the top of the plane as he left
the plane.
They (the flight engineer and the other crewman who
survived –Elmer Taff) were forced out by Captain Davidson and
Lieutenant
Brown
and both
Davidson
and Brown
had on
their
harnesses but they didn’t have their chutes on when there were found.” http://www.mufon.com/bob_pratt/kenarn.html
According to Kim Arnold as to the reason why her father did not
do speeches later in his life, a man came had come to their house
shortly after a speaking invitation was withdrawn. The man threatened
Arnold by saying he knew the government and knew that men had
been eliminated.
He told Arnold that these government men were
serious and dangerous people and that Arnold should not talk about
flying saucers.
In an interview with Greg Long in 1981, Arnold
revealed his interest in the works of Charles Fort. He found similarities
between his initial sighting and things described in Fort’s work. - Long,

In the same interview, Arnold also mentioned that Brown and
Davidson went through his mail and selected letters from religious
groups and organizations that had written Arnold for accounts of his

to happen here.
Kenneth Arnold, Guy Baskin, 1977
Kenneth Arnold in one of his last rare
interviews in 1977 revived by Author Stan
Deyo from the archives of Guy Baskin
relates his frustration
even
thirty years
later.
“We’ve seen something, I’ve seen
something. Hundreds of pilots have seen
something in the skies. We have dutifully
reported these things and we have had
fifteen million witnesses before anyone is
going to look at the problem? Why, this is utterly fantastic!
More
fantastic than flying saucers or people from Venus or anything as far as
I’m concerned!”
In 1977, Arnold spoke at the First International UFO Congress in
Chicago.
In 1980, Yorkshire Television Ltd, from Leeds, England were allowed
to film and tape a reenactment of his original flight and sighting over
Mt.Rainier.
He had four daughters, Kiska, Karla, Kimberly, and April. Sources - CUFOS Associates Newsletter, April-May, 1984- Obituary, Kenneth Arnold
