1u.s. 'LOSES' REPORT
BY AIRMEN
From ROBERT WAITHMAN, News Chronicle Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Sunday.
IN the United States in the last month it has
become a good deal harder to dismiss as
reports that flying saucers- or
" flying objects of non-conventional
design "-have lately been seen in the ski,es.
It has become harder, firs't because the reports h ave
coming in from such sources and with such in
'that it would be remarkable indeed if
hey were all the product of too vivid imaginations; and
econd because there has been some rather peculi'a:r bfiI!!ial
behaviour in the matter. J
