On March 8th, 1957, former Marine Air Corps pilot, Major Donald Keyhoe, Director of the National Investigations Committee on Aerial Phenomena (NICAP), was interviewed on national television by then ABC reporter, Mike Wallace.
Throughout the 1950s, Major Keyhoe was conducting ongoing UFO investigations and public inquiry into the existence of Unidentified Flying Objects (UFOs). Keyhoe appeared on television regularly to discuss the subject of "Flying Saucers" and the need for complete government disclosure. I was watching with my parents as a 9-year old boy on the night that CBS TV "pulled the mike" on him when he appeared on the Armstrong Circle after he began to speak about Congressional hearings into UFOs.
