Just Don't Exist:
Air Force Comments On Saucer Rumors
By CAROL LANGHAL'SER
Recent sightings of unknwon fly
ing objects reported across the na
tion have rekindled in'erest in the
subject of flying saucers, accord
ing to the Nebraska Reporter of
the Army Military District, Ne
braska. After exhaustive investigations
and evaluations cf such reports,
the Air Force says there is no
evidence that:
These objects were hostile;
they were inter-planetary space
ships: they represented techno
logical developments outside of
our present day scientific knowl
edge; they are a threat to our
national security; and finally,
there is no physical or material
e-idence that even a minute
fragment of a flying saucer ever
has been found.
Virtually aU of U)ee reported
my&teriouf activities in the skies i
have been satisfactorily resolved
The capable scientists and engi
neers, headed by Dr. Alien Hy
nek, professor of astrophysics arid
astronomy at Ohio State Univer
ity, have been completely objec
tive and open-minded about the

reports, the Air Force said.
Many of the unusual observances
are explained by the fact that
some 4,000 weather and research
balloons, varying from four to 200
feet in diameter, are released dai
ly. These give weird appearances
in the night with their running
lights. Also when viewed near
dawn or sunset theii is an odd
sight because of the effect of the
slanting rays of the sun upon the
balloon surface.
Large balloons, if caught in jet
streams, can take on horizontal
shapes and move at speeds near
200 miles an hour or may flatten
out on tcp to give startling ef
fects. Under adverse weather condi
tions, modern aircraft, particularly
those with swept or delta wings,
are reported as flying saucers.
When observed at high altitudes
with sunlight reflecting from their
surface, the planes vield imaees
ranging from disc to cigar shapes.
Vapor trails also give strange ap-
pea ranees as they glow ' j he day
light. Bright star, planets, meteors,
comets and other celestial bodies
have been called suacuers when
seen through haze, light fog, mov-

ing clouds or dirty glasses.
Attempts to observe the skies
through hand-held binoculars sim
ilarly have been the source of
many reports.
Other things which yield eerie
sights are caused by reflections,
searchlights, birds, kiter blimps,
spurious radar indications, hoaxes,
firework displays, flares, fireballs
and ice crystals.
The Air Force does not discour
age reports cf unusual observa
tions but stresses the fact that a
complete report of a bona fide
sighting should be sent to the near
r .;r Force activity. These will
be investigate! by the Air Defense
Command.
In the most recent group of 46
unidentified objects all over the
U.S., only three deserved further
study, the Air Defense Command
said.

Military Shipments
The United States has stopped
delivery of military shipments to
Yugoslavia after a request by
Marshal Tito that the seven-year-old
program be halted. Tito was
reportedly irritated by continued
State Department reviews of the
program. Yugoslavia has received
more than a billion dollars worth
of arms from the. U.S. since 1950.
Ike Checkup
President Eisenhower will re
ceive a physical checkup today to
determine if he is sufficiently
healthy to attend the NATO con
ference in Paris on Dec. 16-18.
The results of the examination will
probably be made public immed
iately after the doctors finish the
checkup, according to James Hag
erty, Whie House press secretary.
Wiretapping
Wiretap evidence obtained by
state officers under authority of
state law may not be admitted in
federal court trials, according to
a Supreme Court decision. The de
cision, which reversed a decision
by the U.S. Circuit Court in New
York, means that the government
cannot use state-obtained wiretap
evidence in the perjury case
against James Hoffa, president
elect of the Tear,, ters Union.
'Bye Santa'
An Anglican churchman in Dart
ford, England, has labeled Santa
Claus a "menace". The Rev. Pe
ter Collins said the Christmas
character should take his reindeer
back to the North Pole and never
darken chimneys again. The vicar
argued that "Christ alone makes
Christmas" after reading that a
home for Santa Claus is being
operated in the United States.
Indonesian Woes
The Indonesian government has
placed all Dutch-owned plantations
and allied factories, research in
stitutions and enterprise, under
the direct supervision of the gov
ernment. The step was taken after
three major Dutch banks failed to
open Monday.

Medical Grant
The Department of Internal
Medicine has just received a $5,
000 unrestricted grant from Wyeth
Laboratories, Inc.
Dr. Robert Grissom, Chairman
of the Department, says tentative
plans are to use the sum to equip
a gastroanterology laboratory at
the College of Medicine. (Gastro
anterology is the study of t h e
stomach and intestines and their
diseases.)
Such a laboratory would be used
for the research and study of the
functioning and the diseases of
the stomach, intestines, and re
lated internal organs, Dr. Grissom
stated.
