Gunn and two friends said they saw strange� 쿽bjects "traveling at great speed high in the sky" last � 쿟uesday near their home at Summerside on Prince Edward � 쿶sland. � � � 쿝oland Phillipson, one of the four, described the objects as� 퀂hapeless, but glistening in the sunlight. � � � 쿑ather Burke-Gaffney, astronomer and dean of engineering at � 쿞t. Mary's college at Halifax, said the saucers were � �"outside the realm of astronomy." Another Canadian source � 퀂aid "It's probably a matter for witch doctors." � � � 쿌rmy research experts in Washington said they can't explain � 퀃he saucers reported whizzing across the sky by persons in � 쿮ight states, but they said they are investigating. � � � 쿌n Albuquerque, New Mexico Chamber of Commerce official, Max� 쿓ood, reported he saw "a disk-like bluish object following a� 퀊ig-zag path in the northwestern sky" over New Mexico on � 쿕uly 01. � � � 쿚ther "saucers" previously were reported seen over a Navajo � 쿔ndian reservation in northwestern New Mexico, and over � 쿒allup, near Silver city, Sante Fe, Elephant Butte and � 쿽ther points in the state. � � � 쿌 U.S. meteorologist, E.E. Unger of Louisville, said he saw � 쿪 circular object flying through the air Tuesday night as he� 쿹eft a neighborhood theater. He said it was moving about � �100 miles an hour, and giving off an orange light. � 쿘rs. Louis Goldstein, wife of a deputy sheriff at Monterrey,� 쿎alifornia, reported she saw one of the "flying saucers" or � 쿭iscs at 7:45 a.m. (PST) today while looking out a window of� 쿴er home by Monterrey airport. "I know people will say I'm � 쿬razy, but I saw a quite-rounded flying object, not � 쿬ircular, with a red glow on one edge." Mrs. Goldstein said.� �"I saw it for 10 or 15 seconds - then, suddenly it � 퀆anished." � � � 쿌irlines reported no planes in flight in the area at the � 퀃ime. The only plane at the airport was grounded. � 쿟he projectiles, variously described as "too fast for an � 쿪irplane and not fast enough for a falling star," "not � 쿺oving at all," and "traveling at great speed," were � 퀁eported seen again Thursday night streaking over Denver. � � � 쿔t was the third report of the "saucers" this week, while � 쿾ersons in Idaho, Oregon, California, New Mexico and other � 퀂tates reported seeing various versions of the unexplained � 쿾rojectiles last week. � � � 쿘rs. L.M. Wagoner and her eight-year-old son of Sherman, � 쿟exas reported they saw a flying disc about 7 p.m. Sunday � 퀇hile traveling between Dallas and Corsicana. Mrs. Wagoner � 퀂aid the disc, about the size of a man's hat, was traveling � 쿻orthward and disappeared in a few seconds. � � � 쿌 Dallas man, Tom Dean, said he and his wife and daughter � 퀂aw a disc-shaped object "going like blue blazes from � 쿻ortheast to southwest at cloud level" Tuesday while � 퀃raveling between Dallas and Fort Worth. Dean said it � 퀁esembled a flattened-out balloon and was in sight for 12 � 쿽r 15 seconds. � � � 쿌 shiny disc, traveling about 150 miles per hour, was seen � 쿽ver El Paso, Texas, at 3:30 p.m. MST, Sunday, June 22, � �(NOTE: before the Kenneth Arnold sighting) by Dr. G. Oliver � 쿏ickson, an optometrist. He said it was shaped a little � 쿹ike a blimp, coming to a point at each end. The sun's rays� 퀇ere not reflected on it, he added. � � � 쿗t. Gov. Donald S. Whitehead of Idaho said today that he saw� 쿪 strange comet-like object hanging high in the western sky � 쿽n June 24. That was the day Kenneth Arnold, Boise, Idaho, � 쿯irst reported seeing the projectiles over southeastern � 쿥ashington. � � � 쿟heir stories varied. Arnold had estimated the projectiles � 퀂peed at 1,200 miles an hour. Whitehead said the objects he� 쿪nd three other witnesses saw "didn't move, but just seemed � 퀃o go below the horizon with the rotation of the earth." � 쿌t Denver Henry Martin and Walter Harrod said they caught a � 쿫rief glimpse of a group of "bright objects" flying at about� �5,000 feet Thursday night. Martin said they looked like � 쿬offee can cups. They were traveling in a southwesterly � 쿭irection, he said. � � � 쿞tate Highway Patrol Sgt. David Menary, of San Francisco's � 쿒olden Gate Bridge detail, reported seeing a dozen bright � 쿺etal objects "about the size of a football" whiz over San � 쿑rancisco Bay June 24 and fall into the sea. � � � 쿏ick Rankin, former Portland, Oregon flyer, said he saw the � 쿭iscs high over Bakersfield, California, going from 200 to � �400 miles an hour June 23. There were ten of them in a � 쿯ormation flying north, he said. � � � 쿌t Bath, South Carolina, Jack Reams reported that last week � 쿴e saw a disc 12 inches in diameter, giving off a small � 퀇eird light as it whizzed through the sky at a tremendous � 퀂peed. � � � �=END= � 읕컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴켸 ********************************************** * THE U.F.O.
