FBI file: UFO, UFO Part 15

Read from the scan by GLM-OCR; expect the odd misread word.

At that time the Air Force termed the Heflin picture a hoax.

The "Bluebook" report said Heflin's photo did not correspond to his description of the round, saucer object.

But since then the Air Force has commissioned an independent study by the University of Colorado Boulder.

## Two PCs spot a »saucers«

Two policemen saw an oval-shaped object flash through the sky yesterday. The officers said the aucer-like object flew over Strood, Kent, at about 000 feet - and had a tail of blue and silvery stars.

Later there was a similar report from Sevenoaks. Kent.)

Police at Rochester said: "The authorities have seen told."

## The flying saucer that Andrews saw in Stamford Sky

Andrew, the eight-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. T. H. Hyde, of 59 Scotgate, Stamford, claims to have seen a "flying saucer" over Stamford on Tuesday. Aug. 2. He was in his back garden at the time, and this is how he sketched and described what he saw:

"I saw this object in the sky twice this morning between about half-past ten and a quarter to eleven. It was going very quickly above the clouds. The first time I saw it, it was travelling in a N. W. Direction, and then about ten minutes later it came back.

"It was then going in a S. E. direction, and it made no sound. the shape was round, with black circles looking like ship's port-holes round the middle. There were little things looking like landing wheels on the bottom.

"There was a cloud of yellow stuff coming out of the back and there was a ring round the middle of the object."

## Piece for a jig-saw

By LEONARD G. CARMP., M.S.I.A. A.R.A.s.S.

author of "Space, Gravity and the

Flying Saucer."

Here is a book about "flying saucers" which can be of immense interest to both the converted" and to the "open-minded", to the lay-person looking for more corroboration to back up his beliefs in the reality of visiting space-ships, and to the technically-minded man who may well be rather surprised at the wealth of detail of a highly technical nature included in this work.

Leonard Cramp, who for many years has worked in both aerodynamics and, more recently, with the new design principles of the Hovercraft, has succeeded in writing a book understood by any person of normal intelligence who can read the English language.

"Piece For A Jig-saw" does, in truth, offer a piece - a very large piece - of that enigmatic jig-saw puzzle which has undulated and returned along 180 degrees through head-lines of the world's press for the past 20 years. Cramp himself has worked on material for this book for over half that time. It is 12 years since he submitted to the public "Space, Gravity and the Flying Saucer"; - this book is a natural and elevating follow-up.

Written in a style which is as open and as lacking in pomposity as the author himself, one finds a pattern developing from each chapter to the next, as he takes us from his brief but concise "background material" of orthodox aerodynamics, curves into a high trajectory through the experimental X-15 and the family of rockets, and into the deep blue. One is almost shocked to find with what ease Cramp brings us down - not in a capsule supported by great billowing parachutes, but gently landing in a field, any field, ready for instant take-off to a far-off hovering mother-ship.

At least, the mother-ship is there by implication, because Mr. Cramp, as he says, having "set myself the task of discovering the truth as an engineer", arrives, after a volume full of investigation and experimentation, at the last chapter which is entitled: "Vindication Of A Scout Ship."

The last paragraph of the second from last chapter might well sum up a very large part of the UFO story. It also sums up the author, a man who succeeded in forming a large group of UFO enthusiasts from a very hard core of technology, men who know
