'Flying Saucer' Experts Find No Space Visitors

WASHINGTON, Feb. 7 (UPI) -- The Air Force said today that the only "flying saucers" it has discovered in space had come from lauching pads on Earth.

The Air Force's Project Bluebook" task force, assigned to unidentified flying objects, said in an annual summary that it started 488 investigations last year and completed 483 of them.

Of the 483 completed, the Air Force said that fifty-five had turned out to be artificial earth satellites.

These investigations brought to 7.369 the total number since 1947.

The Air force said it had yet to come up with any evidence that the saucers exist or that any unidentified objects had been launched from space.

Of the 483 objects investigated last year, the Air Force had to leave ten in its "unidentified" classification. Ninety-nine reports were put in the "insufficient data" category.
