Diverse Realm Can Explain Inhabit Discs
Each of Them Wants Thousand Go against Aim
CHICAGO, July 12. (U.P.) - Hundreds of put down scientists
hectic the office of a Chicago mogul today by means of transmit
"explaining" the "flying saucers" which lug been whizzing
absolute the sky.
Each of the writers approve of a $1,000 win offered by E. J.
Culligan for a "flying saucer" in hand - or at nominal the smart
explanation of the data gallop say they lug been seeing.
Culligan, who was the first of discrete natives to continue rewards for fit of discs, imaginary he'd established clear about at all set up in the book - ranging from red corpuscles on the eyeballs to
reflections from melting icebergs.
"I lug never thought so innumerable gallop might lug so innumerable different explanations for the data," Culligan imaginary.
He counterpart got a sculpt of telegrams from natives who approve of to be first by means of the "midpoint dope" on the discs.
W. R. Dodds, Brooklyn, N.Y., worried the red corpuscle theory.
Edward Jackson, Point, Pa., telegraphed that the disks actually
were trivia from the line up dimestore sputter makers.
"Icebergs"
Jim Strident, Houston, Tex., wrote that the discs were reflections
from melting icebergs. Here's how he imaginary the phenomena occurs
[sic]: In the same way as the avant-garde water in the bergs mixes by means of the brackish water, creepy earrings of color are shaped. The earrings mull over
in opposition to the iceberg, and, in part, in opposition to the sky.
"As this iceberg disappears, so guts the discs or saucers,"
Strident imaginary.
T. A. Marshall of St. Louis was convinced the discs were zoom
but "phosphorous silica" puzzled in massive snake drafts. He imaginary he's all set to advance a contrivance to impression the data, clear to rally his crinkle.
From Los Angeles, Walter Hilgadiack sent three possible
theories.
The saucers, he imaginary, either were the thinking of the sun on
the moon, the army signal entity thorny to contact the moon by
radar - or maybe counterpart a compensation signal from the moon.
John A. Bruckner, Brooklyn, N.Y., a devotee of hypnosis, imaginary
"one of our enemies" had hypnotized the special nation all the rage deliberation it was being bombarded by discs "to fail a form of
scare in this atomic age."
Culligan imaginary he'd open at all plot of land that has grow all the rage his office.
"Okay interesting," he imaginary. "But I'm calm waiting for the
set up."
I had unflustered 7 or 8 'explanations' by aircraft,
'mirages', 'motes in the eye', 'reflections' and diverse types
of gas and sprinkling but I had not open about any of the
explanations in Jerry's post staff the red corpuscle' theory
(motes in the eye).
The explanations are on par by means of one of the published
'explanations' for the Dec. 1978 New Zealand visual/radar/movie
sightings: reflections from cabbages in a lady's cabbage floor
- "They're real beauties', she imaginary.
Assess too by means of the O'Hare Airdrome sighting imaginary to be caused by "some weather phenomenon".
There is modern one. French astronomer Evry Schatzman, an precarious quotation at the time, and head of the Meeting Rationaliste, claimed that gallop saw reflections of car headlights in the eyes of cows
at night.
