  • The ones I felt that were worthy of note: 1675 - King Philip's War, the most devastating war between the colonists and Indians, began with Indians attacking the Swansea (Mass.) settlement. 1947 - Kenneth Arnold, an American pilot, reported seeing strange objects near Mt. Rainier, Washington. He described them as "saucers skipping across the water," hence the term "flying saucers" was born. (Which leads me to my old "[url=http://halo.bungie.net/forums/posts.aspx?postID=66770243&viewreplies=true&postRepeater1-p=2]UFOs are actually PISS[/url]" (Partially Identified Skipping Sausages) topic) 1948 - The Soviet Union began a blockade of Berlin. Allied forces responded with what would be known as the Berlin Airlift flying in more than 2 million tons of supplies over the next year.
