UFOs in the daily Press:

Flying Saucers Cause Little Worry To Scientists At Yerkes

Lake Geneva were so busy [?] during the past weekend that few people had time to search the sky for flying discs and saucers.

However, motorists from Waukesha reported a saucer, complete with a propeller flying between Lake Geneva and Burlington Sunday night.

With a corps of learned scientists at the opposite end of the lake, Lake Geneva can rely on some authoritative interpretations of the latest fancy - if fancy it be - to strike the nation.

When questioned Tuesday, Dr. Jease Greenstein, astrophysicist at Yerkes Observatory, declared he had seen neither the saucers nor the many news reports of the saucers which others had seen from coast to coast. With his colleague, Dr. Page, he admitted that the Yerkes staff knows nothing scientific about them. The observatory has no scientific evidence that the strange objects have any astronomical significance.

Until the elusive saucers can be found and examined, they could only be regarded, said Dr. Greenstein, as objects of the imagination, hallucination, or optical illusion induced by heat ot alcohol.

There are two other possibilities:

a - It is probably not a man-made weapon from Russia or Mars;

b - It might be caused by luminous clouds in the high atmosphere.

If it were the latter, said Dr. Greenstein, the saucer-effect would not travel at any high rate of speed. He also explained that the saucers could not be meteorites which travel at speeds upwards of 50 miles per second. At that speed a meteorite traverses the visible sky in one second and of course would be invisible in daylight. The flying saucers have been reported both by day and by night.

It is also extremely doubtful at present that the saucers are any kind of atomic epiphenomenon.
