gozrr @ oe see nothing, so the objects could have been beyond Onterio, since we had _told them that they wero between our plane and Ontario. It should also be noted that the personnel at Ontario would be looking at a dark sky and may not be likely to be able to see them anyway. "I can't say whether they are man-made disks or not, whether they are radio controlled or not, or anything about them. They did not maneuver much at all, except when the first group merged. All I can say is that they were going our direction and were climbing. I don't think they were clouds, as there hadn't been a cloud in the sky, and it would have been quite a phen- -omenon as it was like nothing I had ever seen before. There was a big dif- ference in the size of the objects. The smaller ones were hard to distinguish as to shape; they were not shiny, nor did the "flip". I couldn't swear on a stend that they were not clouds, but I think it impossible. lad they been clouds, they wouldn't have appeared and disappeared so suddenly, end we would have approached than. "As we were taxiing out to take off from Boise, the tower called us and asked us if we had seen any disks lately. AS a consequence, we were and had been talking about the flying disks when we sighted them. I don't believe, however, that it was a figment of the imagination, as SMITH and I were seeing the seme things, even the object far off to tho right in the second group, We also called the stewardess, who had not been in on the conversation, and without mentioning "disks" aksed her what she saw. She stated that she saw the same things we did, which seemed to prove to us that it was not our imagination.” In addition to the above, STEVENS stated, off the record, that he was rather disappointed in SMITH end all the publicity he wes getting. iie thought that SMITH was probably “grand-standing" some, and thet as far as he, STEVENS, was concerned, he was not going to be interviewed by any re- porters, or go on the radio, etc. de stated that he was glad to talk to a Navy representative about it, or to any other covernment official, and help in any way he could, but ue certainly didn't want to be bothered with a lot of interviews with newspspers and radio stations. STEVENS seemed to the writer to bs e very level headed, sensible man, and not in favor of a lot of publicity, wiereas SMITH, although a sensible man and all, seemed to be more in favor of all the publicity he was getting.
