; REDWOOD CITY, Calif., July 4, 1947 (AP) ;
; ;
;- A flight of about 30 flying saucers was observed at 10:35 ;
;a.m. (PST) today over the San Carlos area, Stanley Miramon ;
;and his mother, Mrs. Marie Maranta reported. ;
; ;
; Miramon said the group circled over one spot northeast of ;
;San Carlos, at an altitude of 2,000 feet. They were round, ;
;silvery in color, and "about the size of an automobile." ;
; ;
; He said a two engine transport plane was in the same ;
;general area and it appeared the pilot saw the "things" and ;
;headed toward them. ;
; ;
; Miramon said he ran into the house to telephone a ;
;newspaper, and by the time he returned to the street the ;
;objects were gone. ;

; WASHINGTON, July 4 - (UP) - ;
; ;
;Army research experts can't explain the "flying saucers" ;
;reported in several states, but they're investigating, they ;
;said. ;
; ;
;They are even considering the possibility, however remote, ;
;that some foreign power may have something to do with the ;
;flying discs. ;
; ;
;The Army Air Forces checked all of their research ;
;authorities and contractors, but none of them knew or could ;
;suggest anything concrete about the saucers. ;
; ;
;At first Army officers laughed off the reports. Now, they ;
;are beginning to take them at least a little seriously. At ;
;any rate, the Air research center at Wright Field is looking;
;into the reports, and all service intelligence agencies are ;
;at work on them. Army experts suggested - as a bare ;
;possibility - that some civilian investor has been making ;
;some experiments of some kind. ;
; ;
;The possibility that the discs might be of foreign origin ;
;was indirectly put forward by an AAF spokesman who said: ;
; ;
; "If some foreign power is sending flying discs over the ;
; United States, it is our responsibility ;
; to know about it and take proper action." ;

; ;
; MORE FLYING DISCS REPORTED ;
; ;
; by United press ;
; ;
;A flight of "flying saucers" has been reported in eastern ;
;Canada but reaction there to the mystery missiles reported ;
;earlier in nine states of the United States was "they're ;
;probably leftovers from the mad hatter's tea party minus ;
;cups, of course." ;
; ;
;Dr. and Mrs. C.K. Gunn and two friends said they saw strange;
;objects "traveling at great speed high in the sky" last ;
;Tuesday near their home at Summerside on Prince Edward ;
;island. ;
; ;
;Roland Phillipson, one of the four, described the objects as;
;shapeless, but glistening in the sunlight. ;
; ;
;Father Burke-Gaffney, astronomer and dean of engineering at ;
;St. Mary's college at Halifax, said the saucers were ;
;"outside the realm of astronomy." Another Canadian source ;
;said "It's probably a matter for witch doctors." ;
; ;
;Army research experts in Washington said they can't explain ;
;the saucers reported whizzing across the sky by persons in ;
;eight states, but they said they are investigating. ;
; ;
;An Albuquerque, New Mexico Chamber of Commerce official, Max;
;Hood, reported he saw "a disk-like bluish object following a;
;zig-zag path in the northwestern sky" over New Mexico on ;
;July 01. ;
; ;
;Other "saucers" previously were reported seen over a Navajo ;
;Indian reservation in northwestern New Mexico, and over ;
;Gallup, near Silver city, Sante Fe, Elephant Butte and ;
;other points in the state. ;
; ;
;A U.S. meteorologist, E.E. Unger of Louisville, said he saw ;
;a circular object flying through the air Tuesday night as he;
;left a neighborhood theater. He said it was moving about ;
;100 miles an hour, and giving off an orange light. ;
;Mrs. Louis Goldstein, wife of a deputy sheriff at Monterrey,;
;California, reported she saw one of the "flying saucers" or ;
;discs at 7:45 a.m. (PST) today while looking out a window of;
;her home by Monterrey airport. "I know people will say I'm ;
;crazy, but I saw a quite-rounded flying object, not ;
;circular, with a red glow on one edge." Mrs. Goldstein said.;
;"I saw it for 10 or 15 seconds - then, suddenly it ;
;vanished." ;
; ;
;Airlines reported no planes in flight in the area at the ;
;time. The only plane at the airport was grounded. ;
;The projectiles, variously described as "too fast for an ;
;airplane and not fast enough for a falling star," "not ;
;moving at all," and "traveling at great speed," were ;
;reported seen again Thursday night streaking over Denver. ;
; ;
;It was the third report of the "saucers" this week, while ;
;persons in Idaho, Oregon, California, New Mexico and other ;
;states reported seeing various versions of the unexplained ;
;projectiles last week. ;
; ;
;Mrs. L.M. Wagoner and her eight-year-old son of Sherman, ;
;Texas reported they saw a flying disc about 7 p.m. Sunday ;
;while traveling between Dallas and Corsicana. Mrs. Wagoner ;
;said the disc, about the size of a man's hat, was traveling ;
;northward and disappeared in a few seconds. ;
; ;
;A Dallas man, Tom Dean, said he and his wife and daughter ;
;saw a disc-shaped object "going like blue blazes from ;
;northeast to southwest at cloud level" Tuesday while ;
;traveling between Dallas and Fort Worth. Dean said it ;
;resembled a flattened-out balloon and was in sight for 12 ;
;or 15 seconds. ;
; ;
;A shiny disc, traveling about 150 miles per hour, was seen ;
;over El Paso, Texas, at 3:30 p.m. MST, Sunday, June 22, ;
;(NOTE: before the Kenneth Arnold sighting) by Dr. G. Oliver ;
;Dickson, an optometrist. He said it was shaped a little ;
;like a blimp, coming to a point at each end. The sun's rays;
;were not reflected on it, he added. ;
; ;
;Lt. Gov. Donald S. Whitehead of Idaho said today that he saw;
;a strange comet-like object hanging high in the western sky ;
;on June 24. That was the day Kenneth Arnold, Boise, Idaho, ;
;first reported seeing the projectiles over southeastern ;
;Washington. ;
; ;
;Their stories varied. Arnold had estimated the projectiles ;
;speed at 1,200 miles an hour. Whitehead said the objects he;
;and three other witnesses saw "didn't move, but just seemed ;
;to go below the horizon with the rotation of the earth." ;
;At Denver Henry Martin and Walter Harrod said they caught a ;
;brief glimpse of a group of "bright objects" flying at about;
;5,000 feet Thursday night. Martin said they looked like ;
;coffee can cups. They were traveling in a southwesterly ;
;direction, he said. ;
; ;
;State Highway Patrol Sgt. David Menary, of San Francisco's ;
;Golden Gate Bridge detail, reported seeing a dozen bright ;
;metal objects "about the size of a football" whiz over San ;
;Francisco Bay June 24 and fall into the sea. ;
; ;
;Dick Rankin, former Portland, Oregon flyer, said he saw the ;
;discs high over Bakersfield, California, going from 200 to ;
;400 miles an hour June 23. There were ten of them in a ;
;formation flying north, he said. ;
; ;
;At Bath, South Carolina, Jack Reams reported that last week ;
;he saw a disc 12 inches in diameter, giving off a small ;
;weird light as it whizzed through the sky at a tremendous ;
;speed. ;
