PHYSICIST NOEL W SCOTT SAID TODAY THAT THOSE FLYING •THINGS•
OPLE HAVE BEEN s EING MAY BE •ANODE GLOWS• CAUSED BY IONIZATION or
T IN AIR IN THE UPPER ATMQ;PHERE.
0
~ ONE REASON SCOTT FEELS THAT WAY IS THAT HE HAS PRODUCED ._•FLYING
SAUCERS• IN HIS LABORATORY AT FORT BELVOIR
VA.
WHICH POSSESS ALL
THE CHAlrACTERISTICS ATTRIBUTED TO THE RADA~-SPOfTED •OBJECTS• REPORTED
HERE IN RECENT WEEKS.
SCOTT WAS . NOT TALKING ABOUT THE BRIGHT METEOR WHICH FLASHED ACROSS
THE NORTHWESTERN SKIES HERE SUNDAY NIGHT1 BUT ABOUT WHATEVER IT IS
THAT HAS BEEN PRODUCING •BLIPS• ON AIR FuRCE RADAR SCREENS.
FIVE SUCH •UNIDENTIFIED OBJECTS• WERE SPOTTED BY RADAR AT NEARBY
ANDREWS AIR FORCE BASE IN MARYLAND SHORTLY BEFORE LAST MIDNIGHT.
AS A RESULT OF HIS CREATIONS IN THE RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
l
BORATORIES AT FORT BELVOIR~ SCOTT .SAID, •I AM CONVINCED THAT THESE
,
LYING THINGS' ARE NATURAL YHENOMENA.•
~
scon HAS BEEN CONDUCTING EXPERIMENTS WITH A LARGE VACUUM JAR UNDE
NDITIONS SIMULATING THE RAREFIED AND IONIZED UPPER ATMOSPHERE.
BY IONIZING THE THIN AIR IN HIS BELL JAR WITH STATIC ELECT8ICITY
SCOTT AT WILL PRODUCED BALLOON-LIKE BLOBS OF LIGHT WHICH HE COULD MOVE
AROUND AT ANY DESIRED SPEED.
ALL, HE SAID, COULD HAVE BEEN
•DETECTED~ BY RAD4R.
IN A DEMONSTRATION YESTERDAY FOT LT. GEN. LEWIS A. PICK
CHIEF OF
ARMY ENGINEERSL AND OTHERS~ SCOTT SAID HE MADE THE LIGHTS ~TAND STILL
REVERSE THEMS E VES, OR WINK OUT•
'
BY ALTERING THE AIR PRESSURE HE CHANGED THE COLOR FROM A NEON-LIKE
ORANGE TO WHITE OR BLUE OR WHITE WITH A GREEN HALO.
HE COULD MAKE THE
BLOBS APPEAR TO LEAVE AN INCANDESCENT TRAIL LIKE A JET DISCHARGE
SCOTT EXPLAINED THAT AN •ANODE GLOW• FORMS ON AN IONIZED
•
f
ECTRIFIE.D) LAYER OR VOLUME OF GAS WHICH IS POSITIVE IN RESPECT TO I
SURROUNDING ATMOSPHERE.
SUCH GLOWS COULD OCCUR ANYWHERE FROM SO
200 MILES UPi HE SAID, DEPENDING ON CONDITIONS OF ATMOSPHERIC
ESSURE AND IONIZATION.
