.. JLYDO SAUOBR M!STBRY SOLRD ' Julf 12, 1947. Th• aoat 1apnaa1•• report• ot the ao-oalled fiylng . ,, aauoera or d1aoa wre tho•• tro ■ ariatora llbo clai■ th•J aaw diac-abaped obJ•c~• flying through the air 1n Yarioua toraationa at high altitudes and at a high rate ot apeed. The tirat report waa tro■ an arlator who atated that th••• ao-called flying d1eca had a ao■ewhat ahiny appearance and would fly in formation and change their poa~tion from t1ae to time. Moat report• atated that they appeared in the late afternoon or about dusk. Most all report• were to the effect that theae objects had the appearance of an inverted diac or saucer, and ao• of them reported that they appeared to be rotatin~ in their flight. The mystery of the flying aaucers or discs may be sol ved by the. uae of a little applied science along with a few simple experiments. These fiying discs or saucers can be observed by any mot orist traveling along the highways when the aun is shining on moat any afternoon or evening. During the day light moat of these ao-called flying discs are r eflections from the sun shining upon some bright object in or on the automobile driven by the observer. For instance, if you were driving i n a north-westerly direction with the sun . ahininJ on the handle of the front or rear door on the l eft side of the car, you may notice a shiny object appear in the ventilation wing of the window on th~ drivers left, if it is opened to about a 45° angle.
