Laundering for the finest homes
fourteea minutes, ee
bright lights that resemb} tas
shooting stars, but three of them were
moving horizontally, unlike any shoot-
ing star he had ever seen. Another com-
mercial pilot who was reached in flight
nearby said that he saw a light off his
left wing; Barnes founda corresponding
pip on the radarscope. Other pilots in the
vicinity reported, however, that they
could see nothing unusual. Toward
daybreak, ten peculiar pips were counted
simultaneously on Barnes’ screen,
“There is no other conclusion I can
reach but that for six hours on: the
morning of the twentieth of July there
Were at least ten unidentifiable objects
moving above Washington,” Barnes
wrote. “They were not ordinary air-
craft.... Nor in my opinion could any
natural phenomena account for these
Neither shooting
stars, electrical disturbances, nor clouds
could, either, Exactly what they are, I
don’t know. Now you know as much
about them as I do, And your guess is
as good as mine,”
A week later, at 9:08 P.M. On
July 26th, the Air Route Traffic Con-
trol Center’s radarscope again showed
unidentifiable objects over Washing-
ton. So did the screen at the Andrews
Air Force Base, just outside the capi-
tal. Two jet interceptors, capable of
doing six hundred miles an hour,
were dispatched from a base near New
Castle, Delaware, to investigate. When
the interceptors appeared on the radar-
scopes, they were guided toward the
objects. One of the pilots sighted
four lights approximately ten miles
in front of his plane and slightly above
it, but they vanished while he was
trying to overtake them. Twenty
minutes later, he saw “a steady white
light,” but within a minute it, too,
disappeared. “We have no evidence
they were flying saucers,” an Air Force
representative said later, “Conversely,
we have no evidence they were not
flying saucers. We don’t know what
they were.”
As a result of these two incidents,
particularly the one involving the inter-
ceptors, public agitation reached a new
height. The Air Force was bombarded
with hundreds of letters, telephone calls,
and telegrams demanding information
and offering advice. One of the smaller
airlines supplied its crews with cameras
and ordered them to photograph any
Saucers they encountered. A ciyilian
wrote to the Air Force that he would
let it in on “the secret” in return for a
colonelcy. A Los Angeles pastor wrote
to Einstein, beseeching him to clear up
spots on our radar.
