Classic Case: Scout Master sighting (1952) - best hoax in UFO history?

As part of a project I'm currently finalising relating to the most frequently discussed UFO cases of all time, I’ve been collating links to discussions of the relevant cases on ATS. I could not find any threads relating to some of those cases so decided to quickly start a few of them, including this one:

Florida Scoutmaster D S “Sonny” Desvergers and three boy scouts report seeing a UFO in Florida near Palm Beach, Florida on 19 August 1952. Their report is summarised here.

This was Project Blue Book Case Number 1981.

Karl Pflock wrote an article about this incident entitled “The Best Hoax in UFO History”.

All I can say is a mighty good find you have here. If it is a hoax, they must have planned a speech and everything! If not then hello to the martians .

Keep up the good work, flagged and starred.
