New Jersey residents said they | “thought” they saw flying disks’ over Palisades Pafie-aithear-by Bergenfield Sunday night, 1 Skeptical scientists recalled the mysterious “rockets” seen over Swe- den last year. Highty per cent of the “ghost rockets” proved to be meteors, and Swedish officials said the others could be discounted as pure imagination. Scientists asserted that the ob- jects in order to be seen clearly at 10,000 feet—the level at which most | of the saucers have been reported—| would have to be 20 feet in diameter, would require a large mass of metal, would be more conspicuous at night and would be seen by a far greater nymber of persons. r. J. S, Nassau, director of the rner & Swasey observajory at tha Case Institute of Technojogy at Cleveland, said he was inclined to “think the reports are fanciés.” Capt. Tom Brown, army air force spokesman at Washington, said the army was trying to run the reports to farth. ‘We're not dismissing the possi- bilfy that there’s something to it,” he gaid, “and we're not dismissing the possibility that it’s all a hoax.”
