By LARRY STANWOOD Flying Saucer talk fp Prince’ Rupett has not yet died down matter of fact, atiqéast one more?has been fepotted follow- ing the big day last Thursday whens probably a hundred citi- zens here saw—or thought they saw—nidentifie@ propelled ob- jects lying overhead. The report comes from Frank Parlette, co-operator of a city radio, and electric firm, who now *%o0o has joined the ranks of cdnvinced flying ‘saucer ob- Ser VeRS Paflette states hé had just turned onto Third Averiue from McBryde Street at about 6 p.m last yFriday when a moving light tin the sky caught his eye At dirst he thought A. was the moon and attributed its motion to the motion of hijgwelicle “Sd' I stopped the’ear and looked again It wasn’t any moon, although it had a similar light! and it was travelling away fromame rapidly Pailette said the lighted ob- ject *appeared have come into Mis view from over Mount Hays and disappeared into the southwest to He, watched it for “15 or 20 secotids” and described is as havigg a metallic light, was an oval sphere with a dark under- side y2nd while it seemed to be, moving slowly, “it must have| been? going very fast because it disappeared so quickly. “At first it was quite large, then{it shrunk into nothing.” From another quarter comes strong exception to a statement guotéd in the Daily News col- umn’ last Thursday which in- ferred objects in the sky seen by the many people were noth- ing but little clouds of ice erys- tals. “If those things were clouds, YN never trust anything I see any Snore,” said Mark Hill Jr., after,. having illustrated with pencil on paper just what he saw that day. Hill doesn’t believe, however, thatthe saw flying saucers. He says she saw planes, little silver aircraft which he judged to be about the size of a Second World War Spitfire or Hurricane, fly- ing ht 15,000 feet. He doesn’t discount the fiying saucer angle, he j@st doesn’t give it too much credence Veftementiy discarding the cloud theory, Hill says he is positive of the metallic sheen of the objects, oblong in con- tour, bordered on one side by shadows He saw seven of them in the following order: first four, then two, then one, falling behind each other in typical formation He saw them, as did others alter course over the harbor, then finally disappear from sight * * * Parlette is extremely happy to have witnessed the flying sauc- er in action, especially after having seen a picture of one taken down coast from here last summer A friend of his, he said, show- ed him the picture. It was taken by a ship’s mate one afternoon last summer. The picture out- lined clearly in the horizon a greyish, dise-like shape “Humphries showed the pic- ture to me, to many others too. Most. of them laughed and said it was faked. I didn’t thigk so. It looked real to mé.” said Par- lette * * + * The hundreds of thousands of words written in the past few years On this subject have done little to clarify the identity of flying saucers. Some writers have gone to considerable trou- ble in research to try to prove there is nothing mysterious about the objects, that they are natural phenomena, debunking the whole flying saucer theory. Others have gone to equaily as much trouble, spiced by a very active imagination, to ex- pound such theories as flying saucers being space ships origi- nating in other planets than the world, employed by Martians, Jupiterites or Venusians to spy on us. Bible students have referred to them as “signs in sky” which forecast the coming end of this period of civilization. Military men have denied they are top-secret types of planes or robots, and others have they may be types of aerial con- veyances used by the Russians, also for spying purposes. Whatever they may be, fly- ing saucers have become an established part of ‘our civili- zation, have given rise to many exciting adventure yarns, and are always good for a news are slow. lenged, yes—but not mined, d NOW | Ebiaes P i} i fpot t Horse Laughs Last THERE is one really funny side to the story of the horse on the armv payroll at Petawawa.

The Red army still has plenty of cavalry. Contrary to fessional “experts” I think {here are still many tasks that cavalry can do that road-bound mechan- ized troops can never do, There are certain types of country across which cavalry can quick- ly move which is impassable to others. We all know that in event of w.w. 3 both sides would atom bomb main railways and road junctions, out of existence.
