other adventure stores you may have read in school such
as Jules Verne's "Twenty Thousand Leagues
or 98 Wizard of by Frank Baum. These stores
are exciting to they are not cessarily based
on fact but rather imaginative created
byt the author.
The Air Force has investigated over . 8.000 cases of
reports of Unidentified Flying Objects during the past
evidence that
these Objects are any type of spacecraft fror another
planet. In almost every instance the report turned
out to be something that
under unusual circumstances, therefore was not easily
recognized. Sometimes experimental balloons high in the
sky give alay give most unusual appearance. Airplanes flying
overhead like an unusual object. Birds with
shiny white chests that reflect the sunlight the night
lights from have resulted 1n reports Inidenti-
fied Flying Besides jects there
are also phenomena such a comets fireballs and
the like which really startle the imagination when
seen on a dark Airplane pilots have been known to
report Unidentified Flying Objects which turned out to be
no more than la fireballs hurtling through the sky.
Atmospheric conditions may account for an object being
distorted and appearing as something else. There are any
number of situations which might arise where you might
peer at the sky and see something you certain is
unusual and unearthly. But when all the facts are known,
it may be a common object you have seen many times before
but simply could not recognize
