FLYING SAUCER 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, "| has beer announced here. “There is a very high degree of ‘| probability that flying saucers ‘lare 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.
