FLYING SAUCER FROM MARS DISCOVERED VFo-Reseanchen
An on-the-spot Institute investigation recently verified the
existence of a "Flying Saucer Fron Mars," which has accounted for
many UFo sightings in the Pittsburgh area. The object is a Citabria
Champion advertising plane flown by Fred Eiler, Culnerville Airport,
and bears the above quoted inscription with the qualification "Pa."
in Small letters after "Mars." Me. Eiler owns AAA Sky Adds, Inc. in small letters after '"Mars." Mr. Eiler owns AAA Sky Adds, Ine.:
The wingspan of the Citabria ("airbatic" spelled backwards) is The wingspan of the Citabria ("airbatic" spelled backwards) is
36-l/2 fect. It usually flies at an altitude of about 1,coo feet, 36-l/2 fect. It usually flies at an altitude of about 1,ooo feet,
around 70 mph, and can stay aloft over five hours. Mounted below the
wings is a framework of wires to which are soldered 7 rows of 36 CMSl
bulbs, the size of a flashlight bulb. A heavy tape with holes punched
in it to spell out a message, funs through a machine inside the plane
which makes the bulbs light up in a certain sequcnce, to make the which makes the bulbs light up in a certain sequence, to make the
message move across the lights. An air siren mounted below the plane
is sometimes used to attract attention.: .:
In a strong headwind, at an airspeed of 30 mph, the Citabria can
appear to be standing still. Seen on edge, its lights, moving fron.
one side to another, can give the appearance of a flattish object with
a row of lights around the rim. The engine of the plane is inaudible
at a distance fron which the moving lights can be easily seen; thus, 17 =
many people report secing a silent, dise-shaped object with a rotating
rim covered by cqually-spaced lights. When the plane is flying direct-
ly toward or away fron the observer, especially in a misty atmosphere,
/ its appearance can be quite cerie.. It can, as several reports have
: stated, definitely "not resemble any conventional aircraft"!.. it
