Flying saucers on radar prompt Air Force admissions
The Air Force now acknowledges radar-detected objects resembling flying saucers. It cites possible interplanetary travel, established observation posts in New Mexico, and 24 hour watchers to track and record such objects, with Wright Field tasked to chart patterns and light behavior. In a separate thread, the steel wage dispute unfolds with White House concessions and tense negotiations as government officials demand a smaller price boost amid union pressure.
