UFO
Sightings by Engineers
|
|
In
addition to the detailed report by the crew of General Mills
balloon technicians headed by aerologist Charles B. Moore
on April 24, 1949 (Section I), dozens of professional engineers
and technicians have reported UFOs. As indicated in these
sample cases, their backgrounds include a cross-section
of technical fields. Many are uniquely qualified to evaluate
the appearance and performance of aerial phenomena in comparison
to known devices or atmospheric effects. (All reports on
