WASHINGTON. -- U.S. Air Force experts announced last night at a press conference that the spots recently detected on radar screens monitoring Washington’s skies — which had led some to believe in the presence of "flying saucers", were caused solely by "natural causes."
The investigation of these mysterious radar signals was conducted by a team of specialists led by General John Samford, Director of Air Force Intelligence.
General Samford stated that the objects detected on radar over the past six years have never posed any kind of threat to the United States.
On Monday night, for the third time in a few weeks, radar had again picked up the presence of mysterious flying objects in the skies over Washington.
