THE TRUTH ABOUT PLYING SAUCERSFlying Mucerc, which have excited i multitude of rumours and which have been contemptuously dismissed by many experts as figments of Imagination, are a fact. They do exist and their story, In part, can now be told. What’s more, It has « happy ending.They cornu 111 all sl*es from 260-looters to mere crockory—twenty Inches across anil six Inches thick. They Cy .it ail heights. Home are guided; others are not. They give off no smoke, no indication o£ any propelling mechanism, 110 sound. They may poise .11 mid-air, wobbling lazily, before darling off suddenly to left or right. They cnn move like lightning; but they re quite harmless Tbuso are the facts of ibis latter-day wonder, acceding to a high-ranking officer ol .lie British Air Ministry.No doubt many reported saucers, put haps nine out ol ten. are Uuu to oVcMtuagiiiallon on the observer’s pan. contusion possibly even a case ,i oiiisUe mlt;otu before the eyes. But unie i'. hizziiig discs repo:ted off Lho . m ilk tieast by u I'.S. Airlines pilot ici.euiiy were the real thing. So were ;i i- others pppii banking and zooming meirlly on-r the mountains of Ore-.ton.
