HIGH SPEED OBJECTS REPORTED IN THE SKY
WASHINGTON, Jan. 16 (AP). -- A retired rear admiral, once head of the Navy's guided
missiles program, said today reliable reports indicate that "there are objects coming
into our atmosphere at very high speeds."
Admiral Delmer S. Farhney told a news conference that "no agency in this country
is able to duplicate at this time the speeds and accelerations which radars and
observers indicate these flying objects are able to achieve."
There are signs that "an intelligence" directs such objects "because of the
way they fly", the admiral went on.
"They are not entirely actuated by automatic equipment," he said. "The way they change
position in formations and override each other would indicate that their motion is directed."
An Air Force spokesman said that service was still investigating all reports but had
found no concrete evidence that there were flying saucers. He said that a majority of the reports
had been found upon checking to have some logical explanation, but that a percentage remains
unexplained.
Admiral Fahrney called a news conference following an organizational meeting
of a new private group, the National Investigation Committee on Aerial Phenomena
[NICAP], of which he is a board chairman.
