Experts Identify UFOs
As Man-Made Satellites
People who think they have been seeing UFOs (undientitied
flying objects) lately, have had stars in their eyes and artificial
ones at that.
Investigations of sightings made over the weekend have
identified the UFOs as- three man-made satellites, spokesmen at
Wright-Patterson Air Force base said yesterday.
One report called in to the base duty officer Sunday night
turned out to be three of them," an official said.
The person saw Pegasus at 8:39 p.m., Echo Ⅱ at 9:20 p.m.
and Echo I at 9:45 p.m.," he said.
More calls are expected at the base in the several days More calls are expected at the base in the several days II
"because there is going to be a field day this week with all three
of them appearing at prime time," the official said.
