United Pilot

Sights 'Disc'

 BOISE, (AP)—The crew of a Seat-

tle-bound United Airlines Mainliner

reported Monday night the sighting

of a disc-like object iln the sky between

Mountain Home and Boise

as the westbound transport was

preparing to land here.

Capt. Charles K. Givian and first

officer Jack Harvey reported to the

Gowen field control tower here

by radio that they had sighted the

object at an approximate altitude

of 9,010 feet as the twin-engined

liner was flying at 7,500 feet over

the village of Mountain Home, 45

miles east of here.

The transport was trip 105, the

same trip from which, on July 4,

came the report from Capt. E. T.

Smith that he, his copilot and ste-

wardess had seen nine flying disc-

like objects over Emmett, west of

Boise.

Smith's report underscored a

flood of stories from throughout the

nation concerning the flying discs. 

The flying disc reports began late

in June when Kenneth Arnold, a

Boise businessman-pilot, told of

having seen nine of the flat, round

objects flying in trail between Mt.

Rainier and Mr. Adams in Wash-

ington.

After Arnold told his story, the

country was deluged with flying

disc reports.

The CAA said no other planes

were reported in the area where

Givian Monday night said he sighted
