S. weafms.Both the Air Force and the Navy said flatlyUhat they are not experiment ilg with any plane or weapon hat could account for wide-s|read reports about the flying diks. •But Radio Conufentator Henry J. Taylor and LAs. News and World Report, a A?ekly newsmagazine published\here, both stated flatly that fling saucers do exist. Neither tooted any authority for their Aatements.'Two TypeTaylor said that thie are two types of “flying saucAs” which the military has cljsified as secret.MOne, he said, .is a tarmless, pilotlcss disk wTiichi usuallydisintegrates in tne air. uts pur pose, he said, is a top fcilitarv secret.He said the other is thavvsso-called “flying phantom or jet-propelled XF-5-U-1. 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 w?hiz-zes through space, halts suspended in the air, soars to 30,000 feet and more, drops to 1,000 feet, and then usually disintegrates. 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” w’hieh w*as found on the ground in Texas.It wras on June 25. 1017. hesaid, that the “saucer” experiments began, and they have been expanded constantly ever since. As Taylor described the “truethere are severalI9111saucers,types, but no one is inside anyof them. Some are flat andedged upward like a saucer, hesaid, while others are raised inthe center, more like a pie.No Smoke, Sound“.Some are guided,” he added.“Others are not. Thev have no•/stream of light or smoke, or indication of a propelling mechanism, and no .sound. “Momentarily thev can standU tsstationary in the air—so you can see them . . . then thev dash off to left or right, wmbbling and picking up sneed in a lazy sort of wav until thev move4ft1 .like lightning. But they are utterly harmless.“I know' what these so-called ‘flving saucers’ are used for . . .verv important and wonderful.Taylor said the chances were slight that anyone had found an original, genuine “flving saucer,” because ’they disappear in the air after a given time. But. because there is a possibility that thev will fall to the earth4intact, something is printed on the saucers.These words, Taylor said, are stencilled in black letters on every real saucer:“Military secret of the United States of American Armv Airi/Force — “and a number, and then this:Anyone damaging or revealing description or whereabouts of this missile is subject to prosecution by the United States government, call collect at once.Then there is a long distance telephone number, and the address of a U. S. air base, and finally the words, in big. blackletters:“Non-exnlosive.” He finallydiscovered that there are twogreat mvsteries in the skies instead of one.“For the second mvsterv in4^bur skies has not only been seen but felt high in the air.” he said. i”... This object roars through the night with flames pouring from squares on the edge of the body-fuselage that look like windows. And it is wingless.”Pancake Shaped Tavlor said that in addition to%sother models, which he could not mention the phantom is a great jet airplane which really looks like and is shaped like apancake.“It has roughly circular outline,” he said. “Around the edge of its disc-like body is a series of jet-engine louvres (ventilators). These are squares framing the blazing light of* the exhausts. They are not windows.4Its jet motors are inside the pancake shape and flying at nightit looks for all the world like a flat flaming disc in the air. and flies faster than I am permitted to say.Taylor said it was such an object which was seen by Eastern Airline Pilots Capt.
