; PARIS, -SEPTs: 23e--(UPT) -rCREV MEMBERS OF A PAN 4 AMERICAN ‘FLIGHT.
FROM NEW ” YORK TO PARI§ SAID TODAY THEY SIGHTED LAST NIGHT A MYSTERIOUS
LUMINOUS QBJECT THAT APPEARED TO BE A "HIGH ALTITUDE ROCKET BURNING
ITSELF OUT ABOVE THE ATMOSPHERE." —

THE CREW MEMBERS TOLD UNITED PRESS INTERNATIONAL THEY SAW AN OBJECT
AT EXTREMELY HIGH ALTITUDE TRAVELING “FROM SOUTH TO NORTH AT RIGHT
ANGLES TO A VERTICAL SHAFT OF LIGHT TRAVERSING IT.” THEY SAID THE
SIGHTING TOOK PLACE AT 11 PeMe OVER THE EAST COAST.OF LABROADOR.

THE CREW MEMBERS SAID THEY DID NOT WANT TO IDENTIFY THEMSELVES
FOR FEAR THEY MIGHT BE MISTAKEN FOR “PUBLICITY SEEKERS" BUT A PRESS
RELEASE FROM THE PAN AMERICAN OFFICES IN PARIS SAID THEY WERE ABOARD
FLIGHT 114 FROM NEW YORK UNDER COMMAND OF CAPT. HOWARD CONE.

THE CREW SAIN THEIR IMPRESSION WAS THAT THE OBJECT MIGHT HAVE BEEN
THE LAST STAGE OF A ROCKET THAT HAD LEFT THE ATMOSPHERE AND THAT
ITS MOVEMENT MIGHT BE DUE TO THE ROTATION OF THE EARTH

THEY SAID IT DID NOT. APPEAR TO BE A COMET, SINCE IT WOULD HAVE
HAD A TAIL OF LIGHT STRETCHING BEHIND IT INSTEAD OF PERPENDICULAR
TO LTS FLIGHT PATH.
