I used to work for MUFON and my main research assignment was early 1940s UFO sightings. My focus was on the Kenneth Arnold sighting in 1947. It was the one that really kicked off the modern UFO phenomenon as we know it. This was before Roswell. Here's where things get twisted.
If you read Kenneth Arnold's book, he details much of this. There was MANY strange details around his sighting snd thereafter. Even before he landed at his final destination that day, news had spread that he had saw something in the skies (likely passed on by a layover airport worker who overheard the story, but he must've had connections). Press and a few other people were already waiting for him. He was approached by "men in black" and a science fiction writer to investigate another supposed UFO sighting off of Maury Island (OR/WA). That in itself is a rabbit hole. The two witnesses involved in that sighting had CIA and Atomic Energy Commission connections. The two witnesses basically fucked with Kenneth Arnold and another pilot that went with him (Smith). Two agents from the Army Air Force went out to meet with Arnold and Smith and collected samples of what they had found. The plane that was carrying the two agents back (to somewhere in Cali I believe, iirc) exploded in midair and killed everyone in board. The samples were never found. The plane had been on its way to celebrate founding of a new/seperate branch of the military the next day, the Air Force.
So many other weirs details. Like the whole reason Kenneth Arnold was flying in thr area experienced his sighting was because a C28 (?) plane carrying 32 brand new Marines crashed a few months prior and the military put out a reward for the plane. When it WAS finally found later, three different explanations were given in the state of the remains of the Marines.
I also came across Guy Banister (of JFK assassination fame) investigating UFO reports in the 1940s. Strange stuff.

Interesting. I haven't heard of this before.
That sort of weird, reflexive government reaction to bury and obsfuscate the truth is revelatory. It is also a hallmark of the cabal and is the reaction that is experienced when truthseekers are over the target.
Can you give more details around what you think may have happened to the plane with the Marines and what was the need to give three different explanations?

It's been several years since I was researching this but here's what I remember...
Im pretty sure it was a C28 plane carrying fresh recruits or fresh out of boot camp Marines. The plane crashed near Mount Rainer killing everyone on board. The military (I believe AAF) put out a $10,000 reward to find the missing plane. This in itself is a bit strange since the military rarely offers such rewards and in 1947 that's a lot of money.
So there were essentially several pilots and planes in the area searching for the plane around this time. The plane was eventually found (I think it was the next year) but it seems the reward was possibly never paid.
There were three stories given about the remains of the Marines: 1) Cougars (specifically cougars/mountain lions) got to them and there was only bits of clothing and IDs left over 2) Their remains were found and returned to their loved ones for burial 3) Everything was too encased in ice to bring anything back down.
I can dig out my old research papers tomorrow and be more specific if you'd like. I bet there'd be a ton of info out there now about the Maury Island spooks and a new FOIA request would probably be interesting... Fred Crisman is one of the witnesses I'm thinking of.
Edit: here's a link about the Marine's plane crash. https://www.historylink.org/File/7820
My working hypothesis was that the crash (possibly fake) was used by military/govt to lure CREDIBLE witnesses to an area to have them experience a "sighting". I say credible because there were several dozen sightings prior to this, but none of them started an era like this event. Kenneth Arnold was an experienced pilot with thousands of flying hours under his belt. People like him would be taken seriously and seen as good standing citizens (versus previous witnesses). Arnold may have even been targeted specifically.
I seriously recommend Kenneth Arnold's book "Coming of the Saucers" and another book "The Maury Island Incident" (can't remember author name) if you're interested in this rabbit hole. It messed me up for a long time.
