Marysville, Calif. (AP) A bril-
liant light traveling slowly north-
east past Marysville and emitting
a smoke trail was reported by a
dozen listeners radio station
KMYC Monday night (February 16,
1959). The object was sighted at
6:00 P.M. Viewers 6:00 P.M. Viewers said it disap- said it disap-
peared into a cloudbank after two
minutes.
Believe the above is the same type
plane seen by me June 10, 1958 at
about 3:50 P.M. It seemed to rise
near a clump of trees growing along
side a stream, and just south of the
small mountain range called The small mountain range called The
Buttes. It was a clear day. I imagine Buttes. It was a clear day. I imagine
it was not more than 10 or 15 feet
in the air when I first spotted it. It
was gaining altitude rapidly and
headed in a southwesterly direction
It traveled close to he ceiling at an
exceptionally hig speed.
Shortly after I first saw it, it was
between me and the sun and I could
see the outline of a cigar-shaped ob-
ject about 150 feet in length, envel-
oped in a cloud of smoke from nose
to tail. It looked like a giant cocoon
hurtling through the sky. Watched
object from moving taxi for about
20 minutes. Phoned C.A.A. at its of-
fice at Yuba Co. (California) Air-
port. Cab driver saw it also.

ern Florida on June evenings, if it were
perfectly clear right down to the southern
horizon, you would see two very bright stars
in the centaur, Alpha and Beta Centauri.
Sun's Closest Star
! Alpha Centauri is famous because it is.
the sun's closest neighbor in space. Actu-
ally it is a double star, consisting of two
separate orbs, revolving around a common
center of gravity. They have a more distant
and fainter companion, which may be a
little closer than the bright pair. This is
called Proxima.
The distance of the Alpha Centauri sys.
tem is about 26 million million miles, or 4.3
light years. That is, their light, which travels
186,000 miles every second, takes that many
years to reach us. If, in a scale model, the
period at the end of this sentence repre-
sented the sun, Alpha Centauri would be a
coion five miles away!
The centaur, it will be recalled, was a
mythological creature with the head and
shoulders of a man and the body and legs
of a horse. This constellation, on the old
star maps, was shown holding a spear which
