Dorothy Kilgallen notes a reader, Robert A. Gahn of 1331 E. 37th St, who and his wife and mother-in-law reportedly saw a disc object above Brooklyn on a cold Saturday night in early December. He contacted Civil Defense and Police before Army at Fort Tilden suggested meteors. The letter questions why the Army would not acknowledge such sightings while promoting Mayor Kehoe’s book on flying saucers. The item also covers Kirk Douglas and his father Demsky’s retirement home for the aged in Troy, and a Detroit DJ report on Julius La Rosa with sales and promotion concerns for Cadence Records. The writer adds, with a physician’s note, that the home is a model facility funded by Douglas.
