“The Air force refused to get alarmed Monday over a rash of recent
claims of flying saucer sightings over Portugal ,
the South Pole, Japan and Latin America .
A spokesman for the Air Force, which keeps track of reports of
unidentified flying objects (UFO’s), said it had no evidence of unexplained
activity.
He added, as the Air Force has in the past, that most such claims have
turned out upon scientific examination to be natural phenomena, weather
balloons or meteors common in summer months.
On the other hand, a spokesman for the
National [Investigations] Committee on Aerial Phenomena—a
non-government research organization—said that UFO sightings have shown their
biggest increase since 1957. Richard Hall, acting director [of] the non-profit
outfit, said: ‘It is interesting that the Air Force is unable to find a pattern
because it is staring them in the face.’
The latest flying saucer report came Monday from Oporto , Portugal ,
where a villager and wife said they saw an object overhead which looked like a
deep dish turned ‘upside down.’ ”
