[BLANK] reported disc saucer observation — December 1960

On or during December 1960, at or near [BLANK], the source reports the following sequence: DAVIS: Some of these people, some of these so-called flying saucer buffs, or fans, or fanatics, have statements that they've talked to people on Venus -- Mars -- they make lectures saying that they've seen lovely women up there; what about these people? These groups even fight amongst themselves and the sephology group, the groups that investigate flying saucers, actually call the contactees crackpots. COLONEL TACKET: Well, if you came back into the Pentagon and reported it to us, I would immediately report it to the nearest air base, which is the initial course of action that any citizen should take. If I'm the only person that saw this, would there be a scramble just on the basis of what I saw? CORRICK: I know we've had quite a few stories from our station in Cleveland, Ohio; and it seems to me they are seeing an awful lot of flying saucers in Cleveland. But I don't think we could take any one section or one city and pin it down and say that they reported more UFO's than anybody else. DAVIS: Colonel, you're a man that does a lot of flying, and the airline pilots do a lot of flying, and these are competent people: COLONEL TACKER: Absolutely! DAVIS: --serious people, a lot of airline pilots have made statements in the past that they are convinced that they saw something that might have come from another planet, that was an object flying -- not a mirage, not a refraction of any kind, not a sky-hooked balloon. COLONEL TACKER: Well I I'm convinced that they saw something. UP-: Thank you for providing a Washington viewpoint about flying saucers. Washington Viewpoint tonight is concerned with a curious controversy -- flying saucers. His interesting insights in reports of flying saucers or unidentified flying objects as they're called, led him to publish a book earlier this month which describes just what the Air Force is doing about persistent reports that some one somewhere has actually spotted flying saucers.
