Joseph Alsop

Joseph Alsop (1910-1989) was an American journalist and syndicated columnist, known for his work with brother Stewart Alsop. In the context of UAP/UFO research, they reported on the 1952 Wonsan-Sunchon UFO incident during the Korean War, where a B-29 crew sighted an orange disc-shaped light emitting blue flames. On February 19, 1952, their United Press column noted the Air Force took the matter seriously, highlighting Soviet technical capabilities amid Cold War tensions. This coverage contributed to national publicity and the 1952 UFO flap, including Washington D.C. sightings. No direct involvement in military UFO programs or personal UAP research is documented; their role was journalistic commentary on official investigations.
