(The Tuscaloosa News, Tuscaloosa-Northport, Alabama)
This AP article is a longer version than the article (“Disk
Reports Keep Defense Center Busy”) I reported about on 10 April 2016.
Quote from the article:
“ ‘For the past two weeks,’ the ADC reported, ‘Headquarters
has received a number of reports of unidentified airborne objects in its area
through the normal detection channels of the ADC.’
Meantime the ‘flying saucers’ have popped up in Korea
and Japan.
A Canadian destroyer recently reported sighting two such
objects and recorded them on its radar, it was learned in Seoul today.
A Navy report said 40 officers and crew members of the
destroyer Crusader saw the ‘saucers’ the night of July 10, all had the familiar
qualities of the puzzling flying discs.
A second report a day or two later dismissed the radar
find as the planet Jupiter. One officer commented, however: ‘Jupiter doesn’t
come in pairs and it is several million miles out of range of our radar.’ ”
