Flying Saucers Actually Navy Balloons Used in Cosmic Rays
New York reporters learned from Dr Urner Liddel chief of the nuclear physics branch Office of Naval Research that so called flying saucers were huge plastic balloons used in high altitude cosmic ray studies. The balloons measured about 100 feet across and could reach 19 miles in altitude, sometimes drifting 200 miles an hour at dusk. Secrecy ended as reports were reviewed, with 2,000 cases checked and only those tied to cosmic balloons retained as plausible observations.
