UFOs in the daily Press:

either by hand or in a sling, through the air in the manner of a "tin sailer." Because of its lightness, the disc could have been sailed several hundred feet.

The flames could have been produced by coating the disc with some inflammable substance and igniting it just before launching.

Military police said the disc would be turned over to Barksdale's security officer.

A radio man apparently was the author of the gag. The two condensers were of the electrolytic type used as filters in radios. The "start-er" is used on all common fluorescent lights. It bore a label "Made in U.S.A." plus the familiar "UL" of the Underwriters Laboratory.

Meanwhile, The Times received two more reports of "saucers" seen in the air, but not captured.

Sgt. Marvin V. Thomas, 26, of squadron K, Barksdale Field, said that he was flying at Shreveport's Municipal airport yesterday morning and "saw one."

He said the gadget was "bright, silver, shaped like a saucer."

Thomas said that he flew toward the object for five minutes and then veered left and right, trying to determine his distance from it, but did not succeed.

The "saucer" appeared the same size as the moon and looked thin as it turned. He said that he was seven miles north of the airport when he sighted the object.

A. D. Cannon, 67, of near Atlanta, Texas, said he "saw one" at 8:45 p.m. on July 4. Cannon reported the object as "the largest flying light" he had even seen in the sky. It "traveled at a tremendous rate of speed, from the northeast to the southwest, resembled an electric light."
