(SAUCERS)

MIAMI, FLA.--(UNITED PRESS-UCNS)--TWO VETERAN PAN AMERICAN AIRWAYS PILOTS REPORTED TODAY THEY SAW EIGHT HUGE "FLYING SAUCERS" FLYING AT A 1,000-MILE-AN-HOUR CLIP NEAR NORFOLK, VA., LAST NIGHT.

W. H. NASH SAID HE AND W. H. FORTENBERRY SAW SIX OF THE STRANGE CRAFT, ESTIMATED TO BE 100 FEET IN DIAMETER AND "GLOVING ORANGE-RED LIKE HOT COALS," FLY IN FORMATION SOME 6,000 FEET BENEATH THEIR DC-4.

THE SIX "THINGS" TURNED WESTWARD SHARPLY WHEN THE PAA PLANE PASSED OVERHEAD AND WERE JOINED BY TWO OTHER SIMILAR FLYING DISCS, NASH SAID, THE EIGHT "SAUCERS" ZOOMED UPWARD TO AN ESTIMATED 10,000 FEET ALTITUDE BEFORE THE GLOVING LIGHT EMANATING FROM THE

"PULSATED OFF" AND THEY DISAPPEARED INTO THE SKY, NASH SAID.

NASH, 35, ESTIMATED THAT HE AND FORTENBERRY, SO, "WATCHED THE WHOLE MANEUVER" FOR BETWEEN 10 AND 12 SECONDS.

"BOTH FORTENBERRY AND I HAVE READ OTHER REPORTS ON SO-CALLED "FLYING SAUCERS" AND HAVE RESPECT FOR THE JUDGMENT OF SOME OF THE ASTRONOMERS AND OBSERVERS WHO HAVE REPORTED THEM," NASH SAID, "OUR EXPERIENCE LAST NIGHT IS IN LINE WITH THOSE REPORTS."

NASH, A FIRST OFFICER FOR PAA AND A FLYING EMPLOYE FOR 10 YEARS, SAID HE AND FORTENBERRY "WOULD JUDGE THAT THE EIGHT OBJECTS WERE DEFINITELY INTELLIGENTLY CONTROLLED--WHETHER FROM WITHIN OR WITHOUT, WE COULDN'T SAY.

"ALSO," SAID NASH, "WE CAN BE REASONABLY POSITIVE THAT NONE OF US --AS WE KNOW PILOTS--COULD PHYSICALLY ENDURE THE CENTRIFUGAL FORCE THAT WOULD BE IMPOSED ON THE OCCUPANTS WHEN MAKING TURNS OF SUCH VIOLENCE AS THESE OBJECTS MADE."

NASH SAID THEIR DC-4, CARRYING 10 COMPANY PERSONNEL, WAS FLYING SOUTHWARD BETWEEN NEWPORT NEUS., VA., AND NORFOLK WHEN THE FIRST SIX SAUCERS APPEARED TO THE SOUTHWEST. NASH SAID THEY WERE FLYING IN AN ECHELON FORMATION--A DIAGONAL STRAIGHT LINE--AB ABOUT 2,000 FEET ALTITUDE.
