FLYING SAUCERS ARE “GOOD NEWS”The flyrng saucers are real; they are made not in Russia or in Mors but in tlie United States; and when the U.S. Air Force sees fit to release information on them it will be good news. So declares Henry J. Taylor, well known Journalist and radio commentator, In the August Reader's Digest. The artlclo is condensed from a broadcast.The saucers vary in size, Taylor says, from small white disks 20 Inches wide to big ones 260 leet across. Nearly all are round; some are flat and edged up Ilk? saucers, others are raised in the centre like a plu. Some are guided, others are not. They emit no stream of Ught or .smoke, have no Indication of a propelling mechanism, and no sound. They can stand stationary in the air. then dash off j right or left with Increasing speed Their function is an Important military secret.Nlnu out of ten reports of flying saucers are due to Imagination or confusion, Taylor states. But several have been substantiated. Nine flying disks, sighted over the Pacific Coast of America by United Airlines Captain E. J. Smith, wen- real. Five seen over the Cascade Mountains of Oregon were real. So were a hundred-foot saucer observed over New Mexico in April, 1949, and ft 250-footer sighted over Madlsonvllle, Kentucky, on January 7, 1948.The saucer development Is “a big and expanding experimental project which has been progressing in the United States for three years. Taylor says. It has gone through three stages, reaching p^aks in public observation In July, 1947, January 1948 and April 1950. The saucers have grown bigger with each phase.A “flaming, cigar-shaped object about a hundred feet long. reported over Montgomery. Alabama, by two reliable Airlines pilots, was real too, the author states. But It was not cigar-shaped, nor was it a “flying saucer.” It was a U.6. Navy experimental fighter, a great Jet airplane of incredible sj-eed. Though nearly round, its extremely fast flight (another military secret) made it appear elongated and cigar-shaped to the human eye.Chances of finding a flying saucer are slight, because most arc made of material which disintegrates In the air. If you found one, however, you would read the following message stenciled on it; '‘Military secret of the United 8tates of Amlt;-rioft (and a number i.
