UFOs . . . AIR FORCE QUASHES RUMORS: An eight-month Air Force investigation
into the half-century-old UFO incident concludes that whatever hit the ground
near Roswell, New Mexico, in 1947 was NOT a flying saucer. Instead, says the
25-page report made public today, it was just a U.S. weather balloon. More
specifically, a once top-secret balloon designed to monitor the atmosphere
for evidence of Soviet nuclear tests. True believers may not be convinced:
the Roswell incident was the basis of nearly 50 years worth of rumors about
secret autopsies on space aliens, U.S. military conspiracies and flying
saucer pieces under guard on an air base.
GET ONE FOR THE KIDS: The Testor Corp. of Rockford, Illinois -- the model
airplane company that has annoyed the Pentagon by offering accurate kits of
secret government planes -- said today it's fashioning an alien flying saucer
under study by the military. Look for the Area S4 UFO-model flying saucer,
named for the highly secret U.S. military base in the mountains of Nevada,
where, Testor claims, a dozen interstellar spacecraft may be stashed.
