DAILY TELESRAPH AND MORNING POST APRIL 11, 1950 LONDON, ENGLAND ) FLYING SAUCER? ; REPORT —_—_—_—__ q MAY BE BALLOON. From Our Own Correspondent : P ‘ON, Monday. An object whichvthey thought might have been a“ fiving saucer” was seen by three girls who were | walking along the Preston-Lancaster main road near Preston yesterday afternoon. “It looked like a very bright star in the east, but was brighter than any star,” they said. One of the girls, Miss Lilian Spen- cer, of Pole-street, Preston, said: “It was oval-shaped and resembled the wing of a silver plane caught in the sunlight. There was no sound of an engine and it had a peculiar swing- ing movement.” It was going against the wind. An Air Ministry meteorological official pointed out that it was a common error for people to speak of something travelling in a. oo direction when they really mean that it was coming from that direc- tion. If that was the case here it was possible that the object could have been a meteorological balloon blown over from Northern Ireland ae ne reported on ane () “ . ir Minist ;
