! Flame-Belcliing Flying Objects
Seen Here; Puzzles Air Force
ANCHORAGE, UP) — A silvery1
object flashed through western
Alaska skies late Sunday, belch
ing flames and leaving a dozen
unanswered questions in its wake.
Was it a jet plane If so, whose?
Was it an unidentified flying
object?
The flame-belching object was
reported by several persons from
Nome to St. Michael. They said
it appeared from the direction of
Russian Siberia and hurtled
southeasterly.
The reports were conflicting,
Major Roy E. Hainse, public in
formation officer at Elmendorf
Air Force Base here, said.
“Some had it low and slow.
Some had it high and fast,” he
said.
Pete Walsh, Wien Alaska Air
lines employe at Nome, said the
object was traveling at tremen
dous speed about 2,000 to 3,000
feet above the earth. He described
it as silvery and tubular, some
what like a jet plane, with orange
flames shooting from the tail,
i Mrs. Stanley Molitbr of Nome
said “It had the appearance of
a large star and was a very, very
! brilliant white.” Neither she nor
Walsh could tell whether it had
wings.
Observers said the mysterious
object curved up away as it ap
proached Cape Nome, as if it was
manned and controlled.
Haines said an investigation
was started immediately. Radar
records of two stations north of
Nome were to be checked. Offi
cers also were trying to deter
mine whether any planes from
either Elmendorf or Ladd Air
Force Base might have been in the
vicinity at the time of the sight
ings.
Haines said there were no
I known flights planned for that
area at that time.
A spokesman for the North
American Air Defense Command
at Colorado Springs confirmed
yesterday that unidentified flying
objects were observed in the skies
over Alaska early Monday morn
ing.
The spokesman said at 3 a.m.
Monday the combat operations
center of NORAD at Kent Air
Force Base here received a re
port from northerly observation
posts that two objects were mov
ing in opposite directions across
Alaska.
One of the objects was re
ported in the vicnity of Nome. It
appeared to be moving slowly in
a northeasterly direction. The
object disappeared without a
trace and without giving any in
dication of its size.
The second object was report
edly sighted at Unalakleet, mov
ing rapidly northwest at a speed
sufficent to produce contrails in
the sky.
The object also produced a
flash which was assumed to have
been an explosion.
Nothing concrete has yet been
determined, but officials are
making a search of the area.
