The whole article:
“Army intelligence has begun the job
of digging out the facts on the outburst of ‘flying saucers’ reported flitting
over widespread parts of the nation, but to date remains completely mystified.
The News learned that the saucers are
definitely not connected with any U.S. experimental military project.
A War Department source revealed that
the G-2 section (Intelligence) went to work a year ago on reports of other
strange objects flying around the skies and came to the conclusion—never fully verified—that they were meteorites of some description.
But the reputable witnesses who have reported
seeing the saucers in the last few days have given rise to growing concern at
the Pentagon.
Intelligence agents in the field have
been instructed to examine eyewitnesses and make every effort to determine the
cause of the strange events.”
