Washington, 6. -- A large number of "flying saucers" reportedly appeared again last night in the skies over Washington.
A spokesman for Andrews Air Force Base said the first "unidentified" objects were seen on radar screens shortly before midnight (local time) and passed under the eyes of the radar operators for several hours.
Aircraft from Andrews Air Force Base and a nearby airport were ordered to intercept the craft, but were unable to do so because of atmospheric conditions.
Radar operators said the "flying saucers" were traveling from west to east at a speed of 60 miles per hour.
