hundred of years. One book
written in 1709 concerned fly
ing saucer reports and ex
plained the people actually
were seeing the same things
they now are callinz flying
saucers. Dr. Menzel said re
ports radar picked up flying
saucers also are fallacious.
“Hotair can bounce radar
waves, causing them to pick
ip and show objects the sets
ire not aimed at,” he ex
>lained. “Actually, the flying
taucer reports should not
'righten people. They are not
\s bad as the flying dragon re
wrts many years ago. As time
,asses, people probably will
!ee flying objects much worse
,han dragons or saucers. And
hey probably will be as easy
o explain.”
