WASHINGTON, Dec. 20. -- No "detectable effects" have been noted from the mysterious "silver balls" that American pilots recently reported were floating over Berlin, an official Army Air Forces spokesman said today.
The objects were described as silver, or silver-covered, but the AAF does not know whether they are metal, the spokesman said. He added that the descriptions had been contained in newspaper reports and that headquarters here had had no reports from the theatre.
