In a later article which appeared in the Daily Mail, 11th February 1954, written by J. Stubbs Walker, and headed 'Was it a "Saucer" they saw over Norwich?' Mr Walker tells us . . .

Now, here is a strange thing about what the Potters saw and what Mr Potter drew. The whole of his description is very much like the much-questioned photographs of a flying saucer supposedly taken at short range by Mr George Adamski and published in his book Flying Saucers Have Landed, except for the vital fact that Mr Potter drew what he saw in his refracting telescope, which reverses the image.

Was this a case of misinterpretation of phenomena? Is it not stretching the imagination far for us to believe that at least eight people 'the saw the same vehicle with the same significant detail? When are people going to climb down to sense attitude, because if they insist on star-gazin it is going to get very draughty for them when the of the flying saucer is made known.

They at least consider a real enough to spend money on, for they have co sauce-detecting station at Shirleys Bay, ten Ottova, comprising a laboratory packed with and a team of experts engaged upon a twenty watch.
