If the ventilation wing window were a perfect mirror the objects causing the reflections would appear therein,as well as all other objects within range, but the ventilation wing being a sort of a semi-mirror, does not reflect the object but only the bright spot, which leaves the impression that the observer ig actually looking through the glass and that the object act- ually appears to be in the sky, or at times a long distance away. These results are best obtained in the late afternoon, or after sun down. The aviators who reported seeing flying discs or saucers, undoubtedly were seeing the reflection of bright objects in or on their own plane. They saw them as reflected in their canopy or wind shield, but failed to recognize them as reflections. Otherwise they were reflections from other air craft. As the aviator traveled along observing the movement of the disc in comparison with the mountains, clouds or station- ary objects on the earth, made them appear to be traveling at a high rate of speed. The sloping angle of the aviators windeshield and his position in the plane made it appear thet the discs were in the sky. The position of the discs also depend upon the position of the observer and the angle at which they are reflected in the glass. Some of the reports stated that where there were more then one flying disc, they appeared to be fastened together and frequently performed a dipping or rising motion and when one would dip, they would all go through the same motion sim- ultaneously. The simultaneous movement is due to the reflect- dons all coming from the same object. For instance, if they (3)
