The Navy, he said, is experimenting with the radical plane at its Patuxent, Mr., test center.U. S. News said simply that the saucers are revolutionary new planes, probably developed by the Navy as part of its guided missile experiments.“Good News”Taylor said the real facts behind both types of saucer are good news for the nation.On type is the true flying saucer, he said, a disc that whizzes through space, halts suspended in the air, soars to 30,000 feet and more, drops to 1,000 feet, and then usually disinte-grates. The saucers are harmless, pilotless discs, ranging from 20 inches to 250 feet in diameter, he said, and they’ve been haunting the skies for three years.On March 27, Taylor told about a “flying saucer” which was found on the ground in Texas.It was on June 25, 1017, hesaid, that the “saucer'' experi ments began, and they have been expanded constantly ever since. As Taylor described the “truesaucers,” there are severaltypes, but no one is inside any of them. Some are flat and edged upward like a saucer, he said, while others are raised in the center, more like a pie.No Smoke, Sound “Some are guided,” he added “Others are not. They have no stream of light or smoke, or indication of a propelling mechanism, and no sound.“Momentarily thev can standV %/stationary in the air—so youcan see them . . . then thev dash»off to left or right, wobbling and picking up sneed in a lazy sort of way until thev movelike lightning.
