- ARMY TELLS WHAT DISCS ARE NOT
- ______________________
-
- WASHINGTON, July 8 (UP)-Official Washington was sure today that it
- knew what the flying saucers were not-but it hadn't the faintest idea what
- they were.
-
-
- The Army Air Forces said they had the matter under investigation.
- Preliminary study has disclosed that the flying discs are not:
- 1.Secret bacteriological weapons designed by some foreign power.
- 2.New-type Army rockets.
- 3.Space ships.
-
- Privately, some air Forces officers say the saucers are not-and let
- it go at that. But officially, the A.A.F. said it is "keeping an open mind"
- because the discs have been reported by so many normally responsible
- persons.
-
- "No such phenomena can be explained by any experiments being
- cunducted by the A.A.F.," the official report said. "The statements of
- witnesses are being correlated in an effort to identify the reported
- objects."
-
- Rear. Adm. Paul F. Lee, director of the naval research laboratory,
- said tersely: "We concur in the Army announcement."
-
- A guided missiles expert attached to the naval research laboratory
- said he had seen one of the "saucers." Dr. C. J. Zohn said he and two
- fellow scientists spotted it June 29, at White Sands, N.M. When he reported
- the finding to the Army, he said, he got nothing but knowing smiles.
-
- "We noticed a glare in the sky," he said. "We looked up and saw a
- silvery disc whirling along. We watched the thing for nearly 60 seconds and
- then it simply disappeared. It didn't go behind a mountain range. At one
- time it was clearly visible, and then it just wasn't there.
