About a year ago a book ap­ i peared titled "The Flying Saucers Are Real!" by Don Keyhoe. In it Keyhoe took the reader step by WCKIES TASTE BEriER step through his investigation of the mystery and arrived at the THAN ANY OTHER aSAREnE 1 conclusion that the saucers were Fine tobacco-and only fine tobacco-can real.,He said that they were prob­ ably from the planet Venus · or give you the perfect mildness and rich taste Mars.

You'll find that Actually, Keyhoe's assumptions Luckies taste better than any othet ciaa­ are not unfounded, though he rette. Be Happy-Go Lucky today! does appear to be in gross error concerning several points of science. Keyhoe was convinced that the saucers were not hal­ lucinations as some Air Force reports said. In fact, after a sur­ vey of all governmental data and reports issued, it was difficult to determine whether the Air Force. or anyone else in the government knew much more than the man in the strei!t, with the posible ex­ ception of the Air Force's "Proj­ ect Saucer," which apparently knew a lot more than it wanted to ·admit. The real dope here has never been learned. There have been many attempts to explain the saucers, ranging from Russian guided missles to the three stock-in-trade answers which the Air Force seemed to want to give every sighting: 1. Misinterpretation of various conventonal objects~ 2. A mild form of mass hysteria. 3. Hoaxes. Two Unexplained Cases Let it be known that to the satisfaction of many, these three answers do not explain the Man­ tell case or the Gorman case. In both of these case pilots of long experience in military flying chased strange objects which out­ manuvered them and outflew them. The cases occurred in different parts of the country at different times and under different condi­ tions, one in the daylight and the other at night. Capt. Thomas F. Mantell was killed in his incident, but the other pilot came out of it. There still is no explanation by the military or by any scientist that would satisfy the ordnary man in the street, much less a technician. As to the Air Force explanation of misinterpretation of various conventional objects, it doesn't hold water when the L.S/M.F.f.-_.. facts of the Gorman case are XAVIER UNIVERSITY NEWS, THURSDAY, MARCH 8, 1951 PAGE NINE
