ADD 1 FLYING SAUCERS
DOOLITTLE ALSO DISCOUNTED THE PUBLISHED ACCOUNT OF THE SAUCER AND INTERCONTINENTAL BOMBER, WARNING HOWEVER THAT BACKERS OF THE BOOK PROBABLY WOULD USE THE DENIALS AS ANOTHER LEG UP TO PUBLICIZE IT. IN REFERENCE TO FREQUENTLY PUBLISHED SIGHTINGS OF WHAT OFFICIALLY ARE CALLED UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECTS THOMAS SAID THE AIR FORCE, OR SOME OTHER AUTHORITY, OUGHT TO, ONCE AND FOR ALL, MAIL IT DOWN AND SAY IT IS PURE FICTION:
WE SAID THE AIR FORCE HAD "HEMMED AND HAVED" ON THE ISSUE, APPARENTLY A REFERENCE TO THE 1955 AIR FORCE REPORT THAT IT HAD INVESTIGATED 5,000 REPORTED SIGHTINGS AND FOUND "NO EVIDENCE" OF THE EXISTENCE OF. SAUCERS.
THIS WASN'T QUITE THE SAME THING AS SAYING THE SAUCERS DID NOT EXIST, AS DRYDEN NOW HAS ASSERTED. 3/14--EC1145A
