As
the
object
moved
away
from them
toward
the
east,
they
followed
at
a
judicial
distance,
encouraged
by
the
expectation
that
they
were
to
be
joined
by
other
officers.
At
that
time they
also
radioed the
Tehama
County
Sheriff's
Office
requesting
that
they
contact
the
local
radar
base.
By
telephone the
radar
operator
confirmed
the
UFO
and
stated
that
it
was
unidentified.
The
two
officers
drove
the
next
day
to
the
local
radar
base,
were
refused
permission
to
talk
to the
radar
operator
that
had
been
on
duty,
and
were
given
what
Carson
described
as the
"ice
water
treat-
ment" by
the
commanding
officer.
There
follow
many
interesting
details
of
their
hide-and-seek
chase
with the
object
over the
next
2
hours
along the
back
roads
of
northern
California,
trying to
get
close
enough
to
this
thing
to
get
a
better
observation.
It
seemed always
to
know
they
were
there
and
always
kept about
half
a
mile
away.
However,
when
we
restrict
our
attention
to
the
propulsion
problem,
the
significant
facts
are:
(1)
there
was no
observable
noise,
(2)
the
UFO
could
hover—seemed
to
float
as
if
it
were
in
water—and
move
in
any
direction
without
altering
its
orientation,
(3)
it
could
sustain
very
high
accelerations
and
move
very
rapidly,
(4)
it
was
able
to
hover or
to
move
relatively
slowly for at
least
2
hours under
circum-
stances
that precluded suspension
by
aerodynamic
lift
forces.
What
can
we
learn
about
the
propulsion
of
UFO's
from
the
infor-
mation
provided
by
the
observations
of
these
two
police
officers?
Mainly,
it is
negative information.
From
the
silence
it
seems
impos-
sible
that
it
could
have
been supported
by
a
jet
or
rocket
reaction.
There
are further
considerations
involving
specific
impulse, energy,
et
cetera,
that
we
need not
go
into here,
that provide compelling
arguments
against
any
conventional
way
of
counteracting
the
earth's
gravitational
field.
There
remains
a
slight
possibility
of
developing
sufficient
reactive
force
by
expelling
relativistic
neutrinos,
for
they
would
not be
intercepted
by
the
earth
under
a
UFO
and would
notbe
noticed.
Expelling neutrons
would have
this
same
advantage,
but
in
the
quantities
required
they
would
induce far
more
radioactivity
thanhas
ever
been measured
at
sites
where
UFO's
have
come
close
to
the
ground
or have
been reported to
have
landed.
Fortunately, there
has been at
least
one
observation that tends
to
provide
a
bit
of
positive
information.
Mr.
Wells
Allen
Webb,
an
applied
chemist with
a
master of
science
degree
from
the University
of
California,
was
1
mile north
of Spain Flying
Field,
7
miles east
of
Yuma,
Ariz., just
off
U.S.
Highway No.
80,
when
his attention
was drawn
to the
sky
to the north
by some low
-flying jet aircraft.
Then
he
noticed
a
small white cloud
-like
object
in
an
otherwise cloud-
less
sky.
He
watched for about
5
minutes as
it
traveled
eastward; as
it
reached
a
spot north-northeast
of
his location,
it
abruptly
altered
shape
from
being oblong
and
subtending about half the angle of the
full
moon—about 15 minutes of arc—to
be
circular
and
subtending
about
5
minutes of
arc.
Webb
was
wearing
polaroid glasses
and
noted
that there appeared around the object
a
series
of dark
rings, the outer-
most of which was about
six
times the diameter of the central white
or
silvery object,
or about the diameter of the
full
moon. The
object
