³ July 4, 1947 ³

|
³ ³
|
|
³ MORE FLYING DISCS REPORTED ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³ by United press ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³A flight of "flying saucers" has been reported in eastern ³
|
|
³Canada but reaction there to the mystery missiles reported ³
|
|
³earlier in nine states of the United States was "they're ³
|
|
³probably leftovers from the mad hatter's tea party minus ³
|
|
³cups, of course." ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³Dr. and Mrs. C.K. Gunn and two friends said they saw strange³
|
|
³objects "traveling at great speed high in the sky" last ³
|
|
³Tuesday near their home at Summerside on Prince Edward ³
|
|
³island. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³Roland Phillipson, one of the four, described the objects as³
|
|
³shapeless, but glistening in the sunlight. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³Father Burke-Gaffney, astronomer and dean of engineering at ³
|
|
³St. Mary's college at Halifax, said the saucers were ³
|
|
³"outside the realm of astronomy." Another Canadian source ³
|
|
³said "It's probably a matter for witch doctors." ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³Army research experts in Washington said they can't explain ³
|
|
³the saucers reported whizzing across the sky by persons in ³
|
|
³eight states, but they said they are investigating. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³An Albuquerque, New Mexico Chamber of Commerce official, Max³
|
|
³Hood, reported he saw "a disk-like bluish object following a³
|
|
³zig-zag path in the northwestern sky" over New Mexico on ³
|
|
³July 01. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³Other "saucers" previously were reported seen over a Navajo ³
|
|
³Indian reservation in northwestern New Mexico, and over ³
|
|
³Gallup, near Silver city, Sante Fe, Elephant Butte and ³
|
|
³other points in the state. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³A U.S. meteorologist, E.E. Unger of Louisville, said he saw ³
|
|
³a circular object flying through the air Tuesday night as he³
|
|
³left a neighborhood theater. He said it was moving about ³
|
|
³100 miles an hour, and giving off an orange light. ³
|
|
³Mrs. Louis Goldstein, wife of a deputy sheriff at Monterrey,³
|
|
³California, reported she saw one of the "flying saucers" or ³
|
|
³discs at 7:45 a.m. (PST) today while looking out a window of³
|
|
³her home by Monterrey airport. "I know people will say I'm ³
|
|
³crazy, but I saw a quite-rounded flying object, not ³
|
|
³circular, with a red glow on one edge." Mrs. Goldstein said.³
|
|
³"I saw it for 10 or 15 seconds - then, suddenly it ³
|
|
³vanished." ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³Airlines reported no planes in flight in the area at the ³
|
|
³time. The only plane at the airport was grounded. ³
|
|
³The projectiles, variously described as "too fast for an ³
|
|
³airplane and not fast enough for a falling star," "not ³
|
|
³moving at all," and "traveling at great speed," were ³
|
|
³reported seen again Thursday night streaking over Denver. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³It was the third report of the "saucers" this week, while ³
|
|
³persons in Idaho, Oregon, California, New Mexico and other ³
|
|
³states reported seeing various versions of the unexplained ³
|
|
³projectiles last week. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³Mrs. L.M. Wagoner and her eight-year-old son of Sherman, ³
|
|
³Texas reported they saw a flying disc about 7 p.m. Sunday ³
|
|
³while traveling between Dallas and Corsicana. Mrs. Wagoner ³
|
|
³said the disc, about the size of a man's hat, was traveling ³
|
|
³northward and disappeared in a few seconds. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³A Dallas man, Tom Dean, said he and his wife and daughter ³
|
|
³saw a disc-shaped object "going like blue blazes from ³
|
|
³northeast to southwest at cloud level" Tuesday while ³
|
|
³traveling between Dallas and Fort Worth. Dean said it ³
|
|
³resembled a flattened-out balloon and was in sight for 12 ³
|
|
³or 15 seconds. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³A shiny disc, traveling about 150 miles per hour, was seen ³
|
|
³over El Paso, Texas, at 3:30 p.m. MST, Sunday, June 22, ³
|
|
³(NOTE: before the Kenneth Arnold sighting) by Dr. G. Oliver ³
|
|
³Dickson, an optometrist. He said it was shaped a little ³
|
|
³like a blimp, coming to a point at each end. The sun's rays³
|
|
³were not reflected on it, he added. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³Lt. Gov. Donald S. Whitehead of Idaho said today that he saw³
|
|
³a strange comet-like object hanging high in the western sky ³
|
|
³on June 24. That was the day Kenneth Arnold, Boise, Idaho, ³
|
|
³first reported seeing the projectiles over southeastern ³
|
|
³Washington. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³Their stories varied. Arnold had estimated the projectiles ³
|
|
³speed at 1,200 miles an hour. Whitehead said the objects he³
|
|
³and three other witnesses saw "didn't move, but just seemed ³
|
|
³to go below the horizon with the rotation of the earth." ³
|
|
³At Denver Henry Martin and Walter Harrod said they caught a ³
|
|
³brief glimpse of a group of "bright objects" flying at about³
|
|
³5,000 feet Thursday night. Martin said they looked like ³
|
|
³coffee can cups. They were traveling in a southwesterly ³
|
|
³direction, he said. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³State Highway Patrol Sgt. David Menary, of San Francisco's ³
|
|
³Golden Gate Bridge detail, reported seeing a dozen bright ³
|
|
³metal objects "about the size of a football" whiz over San ³
|
|
³Francisco Bay June 24 and fall into the sea. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³Dick Rankin, former Portland, Oregon flyer, said he saw the ³
|
|
³discs high over Bakersfield, California, going from 200 to ³
|
|
³400 miles an hour June 23. There were ten of them in a ³
|
|
³formation flying north, he said. ³
|
|
³ ³
|
|
³At Bath, South Carolina, Jack Reams reported that last week ³
|
|
³he saw a disc 12 inches in diameter, giving off a small ³
|
|
³weird light as it whizzed through the sky at a tremendous ³
|
|
³speed. ³
