UFO and radiation at Palomar 1949

Summary

In November 1949, at Mount Palomar, California, sightings of flying discs coincided with an abnormal activation of a Geiger counter, which went off scale. After a thorough check, a faulty fuse clip was found, and the case was classified as equipment malfunction. This was not an isolated incident: throughout the 1950s, multiple investigations were conducted in the region to correlate UFO sightings with radiation readings, including efforts in Oak Ridge and Los Alamos. While no definitive conclusions were reached, the files reveal a persistent interest in exploring possible links between unidentified objects and physical anomalies.
