Air Command Admits It Is Involved In Flying Discs

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP) ---- The nerve center of the nation's air
defense admits today to being involved in the flying saucer situation.
        Headquarters of the Air Force Air Defense Command located at Ent Air
Force Base here, reported that has been a flurry of reports of saucers
and other unidentified objects for the past two weeks.
        And so seriously are the reports viewed that fast interceptor planes
are kept on the ready to jet aloft to find out what goes on ---if
possible.
        "We've really been scrambling," a spokesman said. "These planes are
kept loaded and ready to go and their pilots are never more than a few
feet away. They're in the air within seconds of a report that seems
definite enough."
        The thing is not geared up just for saucers though. The system is the
same as that worked out to meet any enemy attack.
        Furthermore, the ADC isn't saying what might have been found. The
results of the scrambles aren't for it to announce. Findings are
turned over to technical experts at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base,
Dayton, O.
        The ADC, which commands and coordinates the three regional Air
defense commands in New York, Missouri and California, did say that
its radar equipment has been picking up a lot of unexplained blips.
                                        SAUCERS IN KOREA
SEOUL (AP)--- Those "flying saucers" have popped up In Korea and Japan.
        A Canadian destroyer recently reported sighting two such objects and
recorded them on its radar, it was learned here today.
        A Navy report said 40 officers and crew members of the destroyer
Crusader saw the "saucers" the night of July 10. All had the familiar
qualities of the puzzling flying discs.
        The report addressed to the commanders of the Far East Naval Forces
and the Fifth Air
Force, said the ships radar registered "fixes" on the objects. It
placed them two miles high and
seven miles away.
        The report said the objects disappeared before dawn.
        A second report a day or two later dismissed the radar find as the
planet Jupiter. One officer commented, however: "Jupiter doesn't come
in pairs and it is several million miles out range of our radar."
        The only previous report of "flying saucer" sightings in Korea
cropped up last February.
Crews of two night-flying bombers said they saw saucer-like objects
moving over North Korea.
        Tokyo, too, had a saucer report.
        Kosuke Miyazaki, 27, of the Central Meteorological Observatory saw a
greenish-white <>thing with a tail flying through the sky Friday night.
