# New 'Fireball' Raises An Old Question: Do Flying Saucers Exist?

--nobody known what the objects are or where come from, but there is no lack of theories of omnivorey. The Amalgamated Flying Chip of America, Inc., is sure the word" came from outer space. How do know? The "space people" have told.

Californian, Who Talks' to Men From the Stars, Says 'Yes'; Scientists Assail Air Force

They are back. The latest was sighted a few

rats ago by residents and pilots in the north-

tier of stains and Canada. They described

as an orange fireball. The Air Force at first

fired it an unidentified flying object, but now

rats it was a mortar. Some other people

lod it a flying saucer.

Several people say they saw the fireball land

sunday night. An 11-year-old boy in Lorain,

in says he watched K drop into the woods

his home. A woman in Elyria, Ohio, M

is away, claims she saw N phage into a

road lot across the street from her home.

We say they saw N streak into Lake Michi-

cani. Scientists and police combed a V-necro

Whatever it turns out to be—notoriously small part, heax, weather addity or man from re—it appeared in a harrier year for such octa, which almost disappeared from public acceesions following a rush of reports of ug sensors in the mid-1980s: "We've had no reports this year than in any year since when we had more than a thousand," maya pokeman for Project Blue Book, the Air Force program set up in 1945 to evaluate results of the phenomenon.

## Have Fresh Ocular Space

"In early that, says Gabriel Green, who is the California group, "space people give action information about life on other worlds and solutions to inimmutable problems our planet." One suggestion allegedly in Mr. Green in 1980 by a visit from Al-Crauari, a nearby star: Run for President a write-in candidate. (He campaigned fly, then decided not to run.)

"We reject reports of it being handed on earth to solve all our issues," says a spokesman. So men from one a list of bank. Not necessarily, says曼德顿. It believes a Congressional legislation would prove that UFOs "are real real objects ... under the control of living go." As an effort towards the spokesman. "There are a tremendous number of agencies who have been able to applaud these experts in this field because it's so good."

He bases his reasoning the fact that the objects offer interference electrical circuits, indicating to him have "a means of propagating associated magnetic fields."

## "a Nothing To H"

A Mr. Manual reads more into the Air Force than does the Air Force昏迷. Of 705 UFO reports made in the Air Force 1947, 673 remain classified as unidentified explanations says. He defines this as an containing rightings whose pertinent can't be correlated with any known object existence.

may recourse our interruption any evidence that proves the existence of intranspace mobility or extrigue 'trial' life and we continue to extend an opc talion to anyone who feels he presumes evading of such vehicles operating in our atmosphere. And he states: "No UFO report evaluated by the Air Force has ever given any indication of a threat to our national security."

The Air Force's approach disturts some people, however. "The Air Force should admit there are natural phenomena taking place under our noses of which we know nothing," says L. M. Leviti, director of Foea Planetarium at the Franklin Institute in Philadelphia. He adds: "The Air Force is trying to explain something that isn't susceptible to explanation."

Robert Risser, director of the Oklahoma Science and Art Foundation planetarium at Oklahoma City, believes "the Air Force must have had no star-finder upside down during August," when several reports of flying saucers were described by the Air Force in sightings of stars. "The constellations of Taurus and Orion weren't visible at the time the Air Force said the sightings were made. I think they made an error."

The whole problem, says J. Allen Hymek, chairman of the department of astronomy at Northwestern University and a consultant to the Air Force, is that the smaller should be studied more thoroughly.

"Preserves is conformity in academic circles and fear of ridicule have pleased the study," according to Robert Hail, a sociology professor at the University of Illinois in Chicago.

"The possibility of life on Mars is an unpopular thing to consider three days," says Frank B. Salisbury, a professor of plant physiology at Colorado State University. At the risk of being unpopular, Mr. Salisbury told the fifth annual Space Conference this year that "there may be some natural explanation of these things, but a tentative possibility to be considered is that UFOs are spacehips from Mars."

Packing the flying-marker controversy has been the large number of reports from what many people consider reliable witnesses—pilots with technical backgrounds. Since 1847, more than 100 private, military and commercial pilots have reported spotting strange objects in the sky, according to one study.

Planning down such reports is difficult, however. "Some of the boys did report things they couldn't identify a few years ago," says a spokesman for American Airlines. "But our pilots haven't made a report for years."

Meverthulen, "we have on file a great number of reports from pilots who don't want their names used but still want to tell somebody what they've seen, claims J. B. Hartnail, Jr., president of the Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association. And he says: "I haven't drawn any conclusions myself, but I think we've certainly got a good mystery on our hands."

# Disc-Like Object Hovers, Rises For Two Hours East of Kettle Point

By JIM KITCHINGTON

Free Press Sarala Bureau

KARNIA - A revolving object, sighted in the sky east of Kelite Point last night, was watched for more than two hours by about 100 persons.

Mr. Prosettie said it would not have been wrong gas which was segregated was the name of unidentified flying object sightings in the Detroit area last week.

Lawrence Brentia, who operates a store on the Kettle Point Indian Reserve, said a historical brought the object to his attention about 8 p.m. He said he looked at it through binoculars and could see red, blue, green and white lights flashing from the disc-shaped object.

"Ive seen swamp gas lights. This was not the cause," he said. "Besides there have been any swamp gas lights around here since before the war."

"I've never seen anything like this," he said. "We all grew k. It was low — about 30 or 40 feet off the ground to the east. Then it shortly began to move up."

Mr. Merrittia said it remained anticlimax for about an hour flashing lights, then slowly began to rise. Cloud cover rallied in about 10 p.m. allowing only periodic nightings.

Mr. Brennette said his brother, Jeffery, also reported seeing an object over Karin. This one stayed stationary for a short time then shot across the city at a very high speed.

An officer in control operations at Belfridge Air Force Base, Moorland, Minnesota, said the Canadian nighting was the fourth reported in him last night. The other three were from the Detroit area.

He said no radar reports had been obtained on any of the sightings.

Mr. Brosartle reported jet planes in the area at one point while the group watched along the Lake Huron shore. But there was no possibility the object he saw was a jet.

'Report Them . . . Forget It I Have Enough Credibility Problems As It Is'

UFO sightings were received Saturday night as far north as the tip of the "Thunder" in Lake Huron.

Odd lights were reported in the sky over Oakland County and the neighboring Detroit area. Others were reported westward in the Leasing area.

Dr. J. Allen Nyuk of Northwestern University, scientific consultant to the U.S. Air Force said phenomena seen at Daxier and Pilisdale on the night of March 30 probably were the result of a swamp game.

Sheriff Douglas Harvey of Washtenaw County and civil defence director William Van Horn of Millendale County criticized Dr. Hynah's report. Van Horn said the evasive gas explanation was an attempt to "explain M away arbitrarily."

NEW YORK - The nephew of the late Dag Hammarskjold has startled America's top science writers by telling them he believes that flying saucers exist and that they come from outer space.

Knut Hammarkjold, whose late uncle was secretary general of the United Nations, spoke is a convention here of the aviation-space writers association.

Hammarkjold also suggested that our space neighbors are becoming more and more interested in what people are doing on earth.

"The possible existence of neighbors in space will, if confirmed, create problems of legal, political and technical characteristics," he said.

# STRANGE OBJEC OVER MT. WILSC

There was something over Mount Wilson early today but it didn't catch the entire city napping.

Police and newspaper switchboards were flooded with calls describing the object variously as a "pull," a "greenish ball," a "flat oval green object with a long tail and a light at the end."

It was first sighted about 4 a.m. and remained in view for about half an hour.

A similar fireball was sighted about the same time from Sacramento and from Vanderberg Air Force Base. N was reported.

Vandenberg reported no launches during the preceding 11 hours which might account for the phenomenon and said radar

there picked up "a real activity" during od.

An Air Force ap at Vandenberg sai Force's "Project Book" office in Wau was investigating.
