(SAUCERS)

THE AIR FORCE STILL INSISTS THAT "FLYING SAUCERS" ARE WEATHER FREAKS DESPITE A RETIRED MARINE OFFICER'S ATTEMPT TO PROVE THEY ARE SPACE SHIPS FROM ANOTHER PLANET.

A SPOKESMAN SAID THERE WAS NO CHANGE IN AIR FORCE'S OFFICIAL VIEW, ALTHOUGH DONALD E. KEYHOE, IN A BOOK "FLYING SAUCERS FROM OUTER SPACE," CLAIMED THE AIR FORCE HAS SECRET MOVIES PROVING THE OFT-SEEN GLOWING OBJECTS ARE INTERPLANETARY CRAFT.

BOTH THE AIR FORCE AND THE WEATHER BUREAU, AFTER EXHAUSTIVE STUDIES, AGREED MANY MONTHS AGO THAT THE FIERY, FAST-MOVING OBJECTS SEEN BY OBSERVERS FROM COAST TO COAST WERE LIGHT EFFECTS CAUSED BY TEMPERATURE "INVERSION."

KEYHOE, HOWEVER, CLAIMED HE SUPPORTS HIS INTERPLANETARY SHIP THEORY WITH OFFICIAL AIR FORCE DOCUMENTS. A PRESS RELEASE PREPARED BY HIS PUBLISHER "REVEALED" WHAT IT SAID WAS A BITTER STRUGGLE IN HIGH AIR FORCE CIRCLES OVER WHETHER TO MAKE THE ALLEGED PICTURES PUBLIC.

KEYHOE SCHEDULED A COCKTAIL PARTY AT 4:00 P.M. FOR THE PRESS TO PLUG HIS BOOK.
