FORD TO ASK INQUIRY
|
|
|
|
House Republican Leader Gerald R. Ford announced yesterday he would ask the
|
|
chairmen of the House Armed Services Committee and the Science and
|
|
Astronautics Committee to consider a "full blown" investigation of
|
|
unidentified flying
|
|
objects. Several hundred persons have reported seeing mysterious lights in
|
|
Mr. Ford's home state of Michigan this week. No Congressional leader has
|
|
called
|
|
for such an investigation before. Mr. Ford said he was in Michigan Thursday
|
|
night and yesterday morning "and I can assure you there is interest and I
|
|
suspect public concern" over the sightings. If swamp gas caused the lights,
|
|
Mr. Ford said, USAF should have no hesitancy in explaining that to a
|
|
committee.

CONGRESS REASSURED ON SPACE VISITS
|
|
|
|
Secretary of the Air Force Dr. Harold Brown assured the House Armed Services
|
|
Committee yesterday there was no evidence that the earth had been visited by
|
|
strangers from outer space. Dr. Brown said almost all of the 10,147
|
|
unidentified flying objects reported in the last 19 years were easily
|
|
explained, including the recent Michigan sightings, as marsh gases, pranks,
|
|
planets, comets, meteors, fireballs, and auroral streamers. But, he said,
|
|
"the Air Force has an open mind" and would continue to investigate all
|
|
reports."

COLORADO UNIVERSITY ENDS SAUCER STUDY BUT DOES NOT DISCLOSE RESULTS
|
|
|
|
Field investigations of UFO reports by the U of Colorado research project
|
|
were
|
|
completed on schedule today, but findings won't be discussed until the final
|
|
report is sent to the National Academy of Sciences in late September. The U
|
|
of Colorado undertook a $500,000 study of UFOs at USAF's request because
|
|
critics
|
|
accused USAF of failing to make a comprehensive, scientific investigation of
|
|
saucer reports.
|
|
|
|
In a related development, NICAP held a news conference yesterday to announce
|
|
it has "broken with" the Colorado Project to "reveal the firing of top
|
|
project
|
|
scientists and other incidents leading to the project's failure. "A May 14
|
|
Look article by John G. Fuller told about the oustings last February of David
|
|
R. Saunders, a psychologist, and Dr. Norman E. Levine, an electrical
|
|
engineer, and called the project the "flying saucer fiasco". On the House
|
|
floor
|
|
yesterday, Representative J. Edward Roush quoted from the Look article and
|
|
said Congress should take over the UFO investigation from USAF because grave
|
|
doubts
|
|
had arisen "as to the scientific profundity and objectivity of the Colorado
|
|
project."

THREE SATELLITES TERMED UNKNOWN
|
|
|
|
NASA's Goddard Flight Center in its Sept 30 & Oct 15 issues of the Satellite
|
|
Situation Report has listed 3 `unknowns' among the many satellites, rocket
|
|
bodies and space debris orbiting the earth. NORAD continuously monitors all
|
|
orbiting objects from more than 100 radar stations around the globe.
|
|
Information is also fed to NORAD by volunteers of the Smithsonian
|
|
Astrophysical Observatory's `Moonwatch' teams, by airline pilots and others.
|
|
|
|
It is the first time the report has listed `unknowns' among the identified
|
|
orbiting objects. Since the objects are not considered to constitute any
|
|
danger military officials argued against listing them until they could be
|
|
identified, fearing that `flying saucer' enthusiasts would cite the objects
|
|
as
|
|
evidence the earth had extraterrestrial visitors.
|
|
|
|
NORAD contends it has tracked objects as small as 1 foot in length, though
|
|
the
|
|
Satellite Situation Report omits any reference to the size & weight of listed
|
|
satellites. 2 of the unknowns are in an orbit inclined at 85 degrees to the
|
|
equator - an inclination close to those sometimes used for military
|
|
launchings
|
|
from Vandenberg AFB, CA; the other's orbit is inclined at 35 degrees to the
|
|
equator - a launching angle sometimes used from Cape Kennedy, FL. 1 of the 2
|
|
in an 85 degree orbit swings from a low point of 385 miles above the earth to
|
|
3,944 miles; the other dips to 459 miles and swings out to 3,802 miles.
