BLAKESLEE Associated Press Science Editor New York, N. Y.— The. flying ° saucers May be explained by cer- tain Jawa of eyesight. All objects appear round or nearly so at any distance close to the limit of how far a person can aee, If the objecta are seen by re- flected light, as in Most cases re- ported, they are almost certain to be round, and if the reflections are sunlight then the sizes report- ed are those which would be ex- pected from digtant light reflec- tions. Descriptions of virtually all the saucers gn round and fiat fit ex- actly with the tricks that eyes Blay. This trickiness varies with differences in weather and Hght- g This writer has soen flying sauc- ers over Long Island sound, not only this year but in previous: years. They were round, bright and moving fast. But they were no mystery because they were light reflected from the bodies of , nirplanes that soon identified themselves by changing course and coming near enough to be seen distinctly, that they could get a getter look at| — the disk, which appeared round and silvery, but by the time they got out of the car the object had dis- appeared, ahe said. At Green Bay, Eugene Le Plant reported that he and hia 12 year old son, Duane, had seen a rapidly mov- ling silver ball or disk about 6:30 | Pm. Wednesday while working in hig garden on the western edge of the city. Le Plant ssid he saw the object silhouetted against a dark cloud to the north and that he ayd' hig son watched it for three or four mibutes while it moved away to t noghweat Le Plant said he co notLestimate the altitude or ¢ tanée, but that It “definitely was not an airplane.” 4 aie. Many descriptions of mMove- : ments of the flying saucers fit © with the common maneuvers of | airplanes, singly er in groups. _ Some of the Maneuvering report- ed, which took saucers out of aight : and back into sight again, resem- bles what can be.seen while - watching distant airplanes. Whether planes are guided, pl- jotless or jet, they all would look’ the same at great distances. Mirages, Traveler Says. Philadelphia, Pa. -(4)- Dr. Aurel Aczel, editor of a Hungarian lan- | guage newspaper, expressed belief that the flying saucers were mi- ragea—poasibly circularly distort- , ed reflections of real ‘airplanes many miles away. A world-wide | traveler, Dr. Aczel sald: mm “Years ago I have seen similar — things on the Egyptian desert and on the Buszta (Hungarian plain). : At sea I have also seen mirages of | ships known to be « great distance away. “In July and August, and sqme- | times even in June, atmoaphpric conditions are especially adapta- ble to the creation of mirages.” preven Se me,
