THEY’RE ‘FLYING’ OVER CITY - Three Saucers Reported Here
Air Force authorities today were investigating reports that “flying saucers” again have invaded the air over Baltimore.
Three huge, round objects “in formation” were spotted a mile high over Old North Point road shortly before 11 A.M., The News-Post learned.
A spokesman for the Air Force filter center here said the alert was sounded “too late” for jet planes to climb into the sky to track down the mysterious objects.

HOWEVER, the spokesman said the job of his office is to search for clues to every “saucer report”
First to see the object was Joseph Jackulski, 1300 block Willow road, who gave a graphic description of the event.
“They were up about a mile…the sky was light blue and they were whiter than the clouds,” Jackulski said.
“I was attracted by their whiteness…they weren’t glossy or metallic appearing…there was no vapor trail or any sign of action, except they flashed along in perfect order.”
Jackulski said there was a “lead” saucer followed by two slightly behind and flanking the front one.
“THEY WEREN’T going too speedily…just going forward steadily,” the eyewitness said.
His neighbor, James Barnett, backed up Jackulski’s story.
The two men said they were standing outside their homes talkingabout 10:50 A.M., when Jackulski looked up and pointed to the strange formation.
They watched as the objects headed northeast and disappeared. They did not reappear.
“Flying saucer reports to the Air Force have dwindled in recent years after a rash of sightings in the early 1950’s.
TWO YEARS ago, the Air Force admitted it did not know what the objects were and asked co-operation of Americans to report all sightings.
In the Baltimore area, “saucer” sighters have been asked to immediately contact the Air Force filter center at Lexington 9-3700.
The filter center spokesman pointed out that the Air Force needs quick action on UFO reports so it can get fast planes into the sky to trace the objects.
