THURSDAY, JUNE 3, 1954 Policeman Sees Flying Saucer Three Tacoma policemen have now seen flying saucers, so they must be "real," they say. Latest to witness the mysterious phenomena is Oliver Tiedeman who said he was much impressed Monday night in a close view of one of the saucers while driving from Doty toward Chehalis. Tiedeman said he and his passenger, Phil Raboin, Olympia organist, saw the what'sit at the same moment while in a dark wooded area. "I stopped the car and we both jumped out to watch it," said Tiedeman. "It seemed to be traveling northward at a terrific speed and then was suddenly slowed to a stop. It seemed entirely motionless for a few seconds and then sped suddenly eastward, disappearing over the foothills." While other reports from the Puget Sound district told of some persons seeing as many as five or six of the objects, Tiedeman said the one he saw was traveling alone. On July 7, 1947, at 2:30 a. m., Prowl Car Officers Stan Johnson and Evan Davies were cruising on the Jackson-Alexander Road when one of the saucers stopped several minutes over The Narrows before later veering southeasterly over the city suburbs. Their accounts were also verified by several other Tacomans.
