Reports From Experts Lend
More Serious View to Discs

, flying silver balls and discs from
bomber and fighter airmen ovel
Nazi occupied Europe in the winter
Of l944-45.
Later. the crewmen of B-29s or
bombing runs to Japan reported
seeing somewhat similar objects
Written statements were taken from
all military observers, but their
stories did not agree in any signif1-
cant aspects. it was said.
It was never known whether the
men had seen some misleading re-
hection, an electrical phenomenon.
or man-made guided missiles, sent
up, possibly, to battle radio or radar
networks.
May Have Been Jet Fighters.
A military airman here today ad-
vanced the theory that reports Of
flying discs over nearby Maryland
Sunday afternoon might have been
due to four Jet fighters which
cruised the area in formation.
Near the horizon, or at a fiat
angle, he said, an unframed OBJ
server might believe they were look
ing at nat. circular object. The
noise of the jets, like that reported
by a woman In Hagerstown. Md,
resemble the sound of "faraway
train
Meanwhile. the flying saucer"
jag reeled on elsewhere, the Asso-
cieted Press reported Stiff necks
and google eyes were the order of
the day. Sky watching was new
profession.
Al States Join Disc Brigade.
Tabulators figured Al States had
joined the disc brigade since the
objects first were reported June IS.
Explanations? Take your choice:
They were radio-controlled flying
missiles sent aloft by United States
scientists, or they were merely light
reflected on wing tanks Of jet-pro-
PEELED planes.
The World Inventors Congress
posted $1,000 for delivery of a fly
ing disc to the exposition which
opens in Los Angeles Friday.
Could they be spotted by radar?
A spokesman for the AAF said
here that no attempt had been made
to spot the spinning, flying, whirl-
ing, stationary discs because there
was not enough equipment to blan-
ket the Nation.
1t. Col. Harry W. Schaefer of the
Wisconsin Civil Air Patrol an
nounced in Milwaukee his group
planned to conduct series of mass
flights in hopes of learning some
thing about the flying objects.
