the problem; and (2) the USAF-sponsored, 15-month study at the University of
Colorado, headed by Dr. Edward U. Condon.

In answer to letters from readers claiming to have seen fiyi'lg saucers, article
on the subject by several scientists was published. It is postulated that "no
one has in his possession any new facts that would substantiate the reality of
flying saucers. They are not encountered by scientists who study i:he state and
conditions of earth's atmosphere. This therefore means there are no grounds
for reviving the nonsensical, long-buried rumors about secret trips to our
planet by Martians or Venusians." Article signed by E. Mustel, D. Martynov,
and V. Leshkovtsev.
