'In an effort to substantiate the story, the picture makes no effort to show skepticism of flying saucers and admits a great majority of the reports of saucers have been explained, although a few objects remain unexplained. 'The picture does provide some interesting moments, and provoke some thoughts as well as some skepticism, particularly in this writer, who, before taking the job at the News, talks with its former managing editor and is told:'" The image appears to be a page from an old UFO report document.
