UFOs in the daily Press:

AMERICAN FIGHTERS ARE ORDERED TO TRY TO INTERCEPT "FLYING SAUCERS"

In a sensational official communiqué, published last week in America, where it had the effect of a bomb, the Air Force invites all American citizens to report to the nearest air base the appearances of unknown aerial objects that they witness. This information will be the subject of in-depth investigations.

Scientists, private or commercial airline pilots, meteorologists, all trained observers, are requested to immediately report to the Air Technical Information Center, at Wright Patterson A.F.B., Dayton, what they may have observed concerning unidentified aerial objects.

The Air Force reports that military aircraft are alerted to attempt to intercept the objects.

Radar and photography are being used to try to obtain documents.

And the Air Force requests, if the opportunity arises, to attempt to recover the debris of these unidentified objects.

Under the title: "Interplanetary aerial combat", our newspaper published exclusively, on February 23, a piece of information that caused some repercussions: three American fighters had crashed to the ground while trying to intercept a flying saucer.

Hard to believe when we published it, this information is now authenticated on many points. By this press release, which reveals instructions still kept secret when our article appeared: interception order given to fighters, implementation of radars and call for vigilance of all Americans to monitor the sky.

What the press release fails to confirm is that American planes have already tried to intercept the mysterious craft. But if the event we have reported is not officially recognized (perhaps for fear of alarming an opinion still not prepared to definitively admit that strange visitors come to watch us from the depths of the sky?), we can rightly admit that it is at the basis of the brutal change of attitude of the Air Force which until then was very skeptical (in appearance at least since the press release reveals that the Research Center has never stopped functioning, contrary to what had been announced).

There have also been other new, disturbing facts: saucers and saucer formations have been successfully photographed. As we reported in our Tuesday issue, two engineers observed one of these craft come to "examine" a weather balloon and leave at a fantastic speed to climb in the sky.

It is therefore no longer possible to hide the truth, and the Air Force has understood this well, which is now solemnly capitulating, after having displayed, for five years, an ironic skepticism. It has agreed to open its most secret files and the scientific conclusions that can be drawn from them will seem fantastic to the layman. But scientists no longer shy away from the most extraordinary of explanations: "We have visitors from another world!".

It seems to confirm the theory that we have supported for two years in our newspaper, the only one perhaps that is not afraid to take such a bold position and affirm, as early as March 1, 1950: "Flying saucers are interplanetary machines".
