What's claimed, if you follow the link, is that there's a photo of a fleet of silver-winged planes flying in formation on the very day, and in the very place, that Arnold had his sighting. These, supposedly, were early test of the B-47 bomber. The only problem is that the first B-47 prototype wasn't flown until December, 1947, six months after Arnold's sighting. And only two of them were built, at that time. So there's no way a "formation" of B-47s (to use the word in the pilot's account, in the link) could have been flying at any time in 1947. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B-47_Stratojet John, you might have checked this yourself before posting your impish challenge. What's really interesting, in the page the link goes to, is how many pilots have seen something in the sky they can't identify, and how seriously they take these sightings.
