The Washington Times-Herald was an American daily newspaper published in Washington, D.C. from 1939 to 1954. It was created through a merger of two legacy papers—The Washington Times (founded 1894) and The Washington Herald (founded 1906)—initiated by Eleanor 'Cissy' Patterson of the prominent Medill–McCormick–Patterson publishing family, who served as editor and publisher until her death in 1948. The paper evolved into an 'isolationist and archconservative' publication known for sensationalism, with editions printed 10 times per day to maintain a 24-hour news cycle. After Patterson's death, Robert R. McCormick took control and appointed his niece Ruth 'Bazy' McCormick Miller as publisher in 1949, but the paper proved unprofitable and was sold to The Washington Post in March 1954. No specific UAP or UFO coverage is documented in historical records, though the paper operated during the critical mid-20th-century period (1940s–1950s) when early American UFO sightings were being reported.

O Washington Times-Herald foi um jornal diário americano publicado em Washington, D.C. de 1939 a 1954. Foi criado através da fusão de dois jornais históricos—The Washington Times (fundado em 1894) e The Washington Herald (fundado em 1906)—iniciada por Eleanor 'Cissy' Patterson, da proeminente família editorial Medill–McCormick–Patterson, que serviu como editora e proprietária até sua morte em 1948. O jornal evoluiu para uma publicação 'isolacionista e arquiconservadora', conhecida pelo sensacionalismo, com edições impressas 10 vezes ao dia para manter um ciclo de notícias de 24 horas. Após a morte de Patterson, Robert R. McCormick assumiu o controle e nomeou sua sobrinha Ruth 'Bazy' McCormick Miller como editora em 1949, mas o jornal provou-se não lucrativo e foi vendido para The Washington Post em março de 1954. Nenhuma cobertura específica de UAP ou UFO é documentada nos registros históricos, embora o jornal operasse durante o período crítico de meados do século XX (anos 1940–1950) quando os primeiros avistamentos de UFO americanos estavam sendo relatados.
