pilot, Forrest Wenyon of 123 Rehoboth Avenue,
sed Jast night that in the past 10 months he has
being loosely described as “flying saucers” but
mayonnaise jars.”
‘erence between the mysterious objects of Mr.
ose which have now been observed in some
: 40 states in that tne former, accord-
ing 1o the pilot, held a true course
until they disappeared from sight.
This would indicaty a gfulmeewss—wt

course of the “saucers” has been
Gescribed by observers ay erratic.
r. Wenvon said jast night that
he first saw what loosely resembled
a “flying mayonnaise jar" one after-
noon last September whiie flying at
about 1,600 feet. It was late in the
} aitermoonh and me puot was Ayingi
north. [
Suddenly, at an estimatea distance
of 2,000 feet in front of his plane
and traveling from west ta east, Mr.
2! wenyon saw the “jar.” It was going
lat tremendous speed t the pilot
[| was able to note several tnings.
The most important §f these ob-
h servations, insofar as arjexplanation'
is possible, is that the “jar” appeared
to have some sort of rocket com-
bustion. Mr. Wenyon said that
S~| snuris of silver fame from the tail|
tdj geermed to provide the propulsion.

"fi the “flying mayonnaise jar.” Mr.
{-|Venyon said that the tai] appeared
ilifo be a lid which had been per-
forated and that from these per-
7 }|forations the flames escaped.
iil! In a matter of two, at the most
alfthree, seconds the object had dis-
appeared over and past Fort Miles.

W doesn’t know whether it did oF not.

rized from the theory that they
were radio controlled flying missiles
sent aloft by U. S. militfry scien-
tists to the suggestion that they
might be merely sun light reflected
on wing tanks of jet-propelled
Planes.
A. B. Cross of Chattanooga, Tenn,
‘Ja 4-year-old watchmaker, an-
nounced he invented the “flying,
Sacer” and submitied it to the War |
Department in 1943 but his idea was
rejected as not practical “at the
Present time.”
Later, he said, he became con-
vinced that the department elaho-
rated on his plan. His model was
powdered with a rubber band. Cross
said, bul. he believed atomic power
now is being used.
A Spokane, Wash., woman insisted
the objects she saw were of such
size that together they would take
‘he space of gs five-room house
if\they landed, but 2 Clearwater,
