I glanced out at the Potomac, recalling the first saucer story.
As a pilot, I’d been skeptical of flying disks. hen reports had
begun to pour in from Air Force and airline pilots. Apparently
alarmed, the Air Force had ordered fighters to pursue the fast-
flying saucers. In one mysterious chase, a pilot had been killed,
and his death was unexplained. hat had been seventeen months
ago. Since then, the whole flying-saucer riddle had been hidden
behind a curtain of Air Force secrecy. And now, an assignment
from True magazine on flying saucers.

Twenty-four hours later, I was in Ken Purdy’s office. “I’ve had
men on this for two months,” he told me. “I might as well warn
you, it’s a tough story to crack.”
“You think it’s a Russian missile?” I asked him. “Or an Air
Force secret?”
“’We’ve had several answers. None of them stacks up. But I’m
positive one was deliberately planted when they found we were
checking.”
He told me the whole story of the work that had been done by
the staff of True and of the reports sent in by competent writers.
he deeper he delved into the mystery, the tougher the assignment
got. he more I learned about flying saucers, the less I knew.
“here’s one angle I want rechecked,” Purdy said. “You’ve
heard of the Mantell case?” I nodded. “O.K. Try to get the
details of Mantell’s radio report to Godman Tower. Before he
was killed, he described the thing he was chasing - we know that
much. Project ‘Saucer’ gave out a hint, but they’ve never released
the transcript. Here’s another lead. See if you can find anything
about a secret picture, taken at Harmon Field, Newfoundland -
it was around July 1947. I’ll send you other ideas as I get them.”
Before I left, Purdy wished me luck and told me that he would
work in closest harmony with me. “But watch out for fake tips,”
he said. “You’ll probably run into some people at the Pentagon
who’ll talk to you ‘off the record.’ hat handcuffs a writer.
Look out they don’t lead you into a blind alley. Even the Air
Force statements and the Project ‘Saucer’ report contradict each
other.”
For six months, I worked with other investigators to solve the
mystery of the disks. We checked a hundred sighting reports,
frequently crossing the trail Project “Saucer” teams and F.B.I.
agents. Old records gave us fantastic leads. So did Air Force
plans for exploring space. Rocket experts, astronomers, Air Force
officials and pilots gave us clues pointing to a startling solution.
Many intelligent persons - including scientists - believe that the
saucers contain spies from another planet.
When this first phase was ended, we were faced with a hard
decision. We had uncovered important facts We knew the saucers
were real. If it was handled carefully we believed the story would
be in line with a secret Air Force policy.
It was finally decided to publish certain alternate conclusions.
he Air Force was informed of True’s intentions, no attempt was
made to block publication.
In the January 1950 issue of True , I reported that we had
reached the following conclusions:
•
he earth has been observed periodically by visitors
from another planet.
•
his observation has increased markedly in the past
two years.
“he only other possible explanation,” I wrote, “is that the
saucers are extremely high-speed, long-range devices developed
here on earth. Such an advance (which the Air Force has denied)
would require an almost incredible leap in technical progress
even for American scientists and designers.”
Nation-wide press and radio comment followed the appearance
of the article. his publicity was obviously greater than the Air
Force had expected. Within twenty-four hours the Pentagon was
deluged with telegrams, letters and long-distance calls. Apparently
fearing a panic the Air Force hastily stated that flying-saucer
reports - even those made by its own pilots and high-ranking
officers - were mistakes or were caused by hysteria.
But three days later, when it was plain that many Americans
calmly accepted True’s disclosures, the Air Force released a secret
Project “Saucer” file containing this significant statement:

It will never be possible to say with certainty that any
individual did not see a space ship, an enemy missile or other
object.
Another peculiar incident occurred at Tucson, Arizona, on
February 1. Just at dusk, a weird, fiery object raced westward
over the city, astonishing hundreds in the streets below. he
Tucson Daily Citizen ran the story next day with a double-
banner headline:
In this same document there appears a confidential analysis
of Air Intelligence reports. It is this summary that contains the
official suggestion of space visitors’ motives After stating that
such a civilization would obviously be far ahead of our own, the
report adds:
FLYING SAUCER OVER TUCSON?
B-29 FAILS TO CATCH OBJECT
Since the acts of mankind most easily observed from a distance
are A-bomb explosions, we should expect some relation to
obtain between the time of the A-bomb explosions, the time
at which the space ships are seen, and the time required for
such ships to arrive from and return to home base.
Flying saucer? Secret experimental plane? Or perhaps a scout
craft from Mars? Certainly the strange aircraft that blazed
a smoke trail over Tucson at dusk last night defies logical
explanation. It was as mystifying to experienced pilots as to
groundlings who have trouble in identifying conventional
planes.
(In a previous report , which alternately warned and
reassured the public, the Air Force stated that space travel
outside the solar system is almost a certainty.)
Cannonballing through the sky, some 30,000 feet aloft, was
a fiery object, shooting westward so fast it was impossible to
gain any clear impression of its shape or size...
Since 1949 there has been a steady increase in saucer sightings.
Most of them have been authentic reports, which Air Force
denials cannot disprove. In January, mystery disks were reported
over Kentucky, Indiana, Texas, Pennsylvania, and several other
states. On the Seattle Anchorage route, an air freighter was paced
for five minutes by a night-flying saucer. When the pilots tried
to close in, the strange craft zoomed at terrific speed. Later, the
airline head reported that Intelligence officers had quizzed the
pilots for hours.
“From their questions,” he said, “I could tell they had a good
idea of what the saucers are. One officer admitted they did, but
he wouldn’t say any more.”
At what must have been top speed the object spewed out light
colored smoke, but almost directly over Tucson it appeared
to hover for a few seconds. he smoke puffed out an angry
black and then became lighter as the strange missile appeared
to gain speed.
he radio operator in the Davis-Monthan air force base
control tower contacted First Lt. Roy L. Jones, taking off for a
cross-country flight: in a B-29, and asked him to investigate.
Jones revved up his swift aerial tanker and still the unknown
aircraft steadily pulled away toward California.
