I'm with GD on this one... Well sort of. If you think about 1947, A Podunk farmer, and an out in the sticks air force base I can easily see a cover-up. The farmer found some Mylar (not officially invented until '52) or Aluminum and reported it as a "flying disk". Mr. Air force hick, under orders to keep the new secret balloon/dirigible/whatever hushed up says to himself "Flying disk eh?" Yea that works and runs with it. Having no idea the storm it would cause. Now that's a cover up I can believe.
