After the technological breakthroughs in rocketry during WWII, the eyes of many were pointed to the sky in search of unidentified flying objects (UFO’s). There were so many sightings that the US Air Force launched a series of formal investigations beginning with Project Sign in 1948 and culminating in the largest ever government investigation of UFO’s, Project Blue Book, which ended in 1969. 50 years later, people around the world are still captivated by the possibility of extraterrestrial life-forms visiting Earth.

This unique 1 ounce .9999 pure silver coin from PAMP Suisse captures the imagination with its iconic shape and industry leading shimmering holographic accents.

UFO Backstory:

One of the first major UFO sightings was in 1947 by businessman and pilot Kenneth Arnold. He saw nine crescent shaped objects flying thousands of miles an hour near Washington’s Mount Rainier. Kenneth Arnold was quoted as saying the flying objects looked “like saucers skipping on water.” This is where the term flying saucers originated.
