<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> July 4, 1947 <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> MORE FLYING DISCS REPORTED <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD> by United press <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>A flight of "flying saucers" has been reported in eastern <20>
<EFBFBD>Canada but reaction there to the mystery missiles reported <20>
<EFBFBD>earlier in nine states of the United States was "they're <20>
<EFBFBD>probably leftovers from the mad hatter's tea party minus <20>
<EFBFBD>cups, of course." <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>Dr. and Mrs. C.K. Gunn and two friends said they saw strange<67>
<EFBFBD>objects "traveling at great speed high in the sky" last <20>
<EFBFBD>Tuesday near their home at Summerside on Prince Edward <20>
<EFBFBD>island. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>Roland Phillipson, one of the four, described the objects as<61>
<EFBFBD>shapeless, but glistening in the sunlight. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>Father Burke-Gaffney, astronomer and dean of engineering at <20>
<EFBFBD>St. Mary's college at Halifax, said the saucers were <20>
<EFBFBD>"outside the realm of astronomy." Another Canadian source <20>
<EFBFBD>said "It's probably a matter for witch doctors." <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>Army research experts in Washington said they can't explain <20>
<EFBFBD>the saucers reported whizzing across the sky by persons in <20>
<EFBFBD>eight states, but they said they are investigating. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>An Albuquerque, New Mexico Chamber of Commerce official, Max<61>
<EFBFBD>Hood, reported he saw "a disk-like bluish object following a<>
<EFBFBD>zig-zag path in the northwestern sky" over New Mexico on <20>
<EFBFBD>July 01. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>Other "saucers" previously were reported seen over a Navajo <20>
<EFBFBD>Indian reservation in northwestern New Mexico, and over <20>
<EFBFBD>Gallup, near Silver city, Sante Fe, Elephant Butte and <20>
<EFBFBD>other points in the state. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>A U.S. meteorologist, E.E. Unger of Louisville, said he saw <20>
<EFBFBD>a circular object flying through the air Tuesday night as he<68>
<EFBFBD>left a neighborhood theater. He said it was moving about <20>
<EFBFBD>100 miles an hour, and giving off an orange light. <20>
<EFBFBD>Mrs. Louis Goldstein, wife of a deputy sheriff at Monterrey,<2C>
<EFBFBD>California, reported she saw one of the "flying saucers" or <20>
<EFBFBD>discs at 7:45 a.m. (PST) today while looking out a window of<6F>
<EFBFBD>her home by Monterrey airport. "I know people will say I'm <20>
<EFBFBD>crazy, but I saw a quite-rounded flying object, not <20>
<EFBFBD>circular, with a red glow on one edge." Mrs. Goldstein said.<2E>
<EFBFBD>"I saw it for 10 or 15 seconds - then, suddenly it <20>
<EFBFBD>vanished." <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>Airlines reported no planes in flight in the area at the <20>
<EFBFBD>time. The only plane at the airport was grounded. <20>
<EFBFBD>The projectiles, variously described as "too fast for an <20>
<EFBFBD>airplane and not fast enough for a falling star," "not <20>
<EFBFBD>moving at all," and "traveling at great speed," were <20>
<EFBFBD>reported seen again Thursday night streaking over Denver. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>It was the third report of the "saucers" this week, while <20>
<EFBFBD>persons in Idaho, Oregon, California, New Mexico and other <20>
<EFBFBD>states reported seeing various versions of the unexplained <20>
<EFBFBD>projectiles last week. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>Mrs. L.M. Wagoner and her eight-year-old son of Sherman, <20>
<EFBFBD>Texas reported they saw a flying disc about 7 p.m. Sunday <20>
<EFBFBD>while traveling between Dallas and Corsicana. Mrs. Wagoner <20>
<EFBFBD>said the disc, about the size of a man's hat, was traveling <20>
<EFBFBD>northward and disappeared in a few seconds. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>A Dallas man, Tom Dean, said he and his wife and daughter <20>
<EFBFBD>saw a disc-shaped object "going like blue blazes from <20>
<EFBFBD>northeast to southwest at cloud level" Tuesday while <20>
<EFBFBD>traveling between Dallas and Fort Worth. Dean said it <20>
<EFBFBD>resembled a flattened-out balloon and was in sight for 12 <20>
<EFBFBD>or 15 seconds. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>A shiny disc, traveling about 150 miles per hour, was seen <20>
<EFBFBD>over El Paso, Texas, at 3:30 p.m. MST, Sunday, June 22, <20>
<EFBFBD>(NOTE: before the Kenneth Arnold sighting) by Dr. G. Oliver <20>
<EFBFBD>Dickson, an optometrist. He said it was shaped a little <20>
<EFBFBD>like a blimp, coming to a point at each end. The sun's rays<79>
<EFBFBD>were not reflected on it, he added. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>Lt. Gov. Donald S. Whitehead of Idaho said today that he saw<61>
<EFBFBD>a strange comet-like object hanging high in the western sky <20>
<EFBFBD>on June 24. That was the day Kenneth Arnold, Boise, Idaho, <20>
<EFBFBD>first reported seeing the projectiles over southeastern <20>
<EFBFBD>Washington. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>Their stories varied. Arnold had estimated the projectiles <20>
<EFBFBD>speed at 1,200 miles an hour. Whitehead said the objects he<68>
<EFBFBD>and three other witnesses saw "didn't move, but just seemed <20>
<EFBFBD>to go below the horizon with the rotation of the earth." <20>
<EFBFBD>At Denver Henry Martin and Walter Harrod said they caught a <20>
<EFBFBD>brief glimpse of a group of "bright objects" flying at about<75>
<EFBFBD>5,000 feet Thursday night. Martin said they looked like <20>
<EFBFBD>coffee can cups. They were traveling in a southwesterly <20>
<EFBFBD>direction, he said. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>State Highway Patrol Sgt. David Menary, of San Francisco's <20>
<EFBFBD>Golden Gate Bridge detail, reported seeing a dozen bright <20>
<EFBFBD>metal objects "about the size of a football" whiz over San <20>
<EFBFBD>Francisco Bay June 24 and fall into the sea. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>Dick Rankin, former Portland, Oregon flyer, said he saw the <20>
<EFBFBD>discs high over Bakersfield, California, going from 200 to <20>
<EFBFBD>400 miles an hour June 23. There were ten of them in a <20>
<EFBFBD>formation flying north, he said. <20>
<EFBFBD> <20>
<EFBFBD>At Bath, South Carolina, Jack Reams reported that last week <20>
<EFBFBD>he saw a disc 12 inches in diameter, giving off a small <20>
<EFBFBD>weird light as it whizzed through the sky at a tremendous <20>
<EFBFBD>speed. <20>
