b. The incident referred to in Frank Scully's book,
"Behind Flying Saucers" is not based on fact. The Air Force "Behind Flying Saucers" is not based on fact. The Air Force
had no connection with this alleged incident. The Air Force
considers this incident and Mr Scully's book as science
fiction.
c. The Fact Sheet forwarded Toot to Mr in January
1965 contained the conclusions of Project Blue Book to date.
d. We have no other reports from the Pennsylvania area
on 27 May 1965. At this late date specific identification of
various aircraft in the area would be extremely difficult. The
sighting is similar in some respects conventional aircraft.
Characteristics o this sighting indicate that an aircraft
towing an electrically lighted advertising g banner could be the
cause. Lights on these banners often give an appearance of ro-
tation.
