OBSERVATORY!
Not Optical Illusions,|
~ Top Experts Hold
OTTAWA, Noy. 12\(CTPS)—
Establishment of a>-Ganadian
government observatory for fly-
||ing saucers, the first in the world,
i ‘been announced here.
“There is a very high degree of
probability that flying saucers
are real objects, and a 60 per
cent probability that they are
alien vehicles,” Wilbert B. Smith,
‘|scientist appointed to supervise
the new saucer sighting station,
told reporters.
He said the federal transport
department, in which he has
charge of the telecommunications
broadcast and measurement sec-
tion, receives constant reports of
sighting of flying saucers. The
total number, he said, is classi-
fied as restricted information.
|| “The optical illusion explana-
‘| tion is lovely,” he said, “but in
every sighting there is always
some factor that precludes this
explanation. We have decided to
try to learn just what they are.”
Canada’s sighting station will
be at Shirley bay, on the Ottawa
river 10 miles west of here. Smith
said any one locaion in Canada
is sure to have at least one saucer
sighting a year. Associated with
