; , Saucers Sigkted

‘Louls Potter, a architec- |
tural engineer, last night re-
ported seeing nine “flying sauc-
ers” pass over Raleigh, headed
in a northwesterly direction.

Polier said each of the nine
objects “glowed” rather bright-
ly, but did not appear to be ,
planes with windows, as some : ,
saucers have been described. In
the darkness, he said, he
could not estimate their alti-
tude, s0 could gain no idea of
their speed. They were in
“ragged” formation of threes.

sa

Polier said he was in the
.front yard of his home on
«} North Boylan Avenue when he

saw the objects.

tographer, today reported seeing
a@ brilliantly lighted circular ob-

feet overhead. Its speed at first
was about 100 miles an hour,
then increased to about 500
miles an hour before disappear-
ing behind the Hollywood hills,
he said. “It was in sight about
forty-five seconds,” Mr. Grant
said. “It left’ no exhaust trail
and made no sound.” —_

‘His story was confirmed by a
friend, Gilbert Magill, thirty-
five, president of a concern
conducting research with heli-
copters, :
