FLYING SAUCERS
Sir, —A report last Friday of “Flying Saucers” over Labrador reminds me that so far I have seen only one attempt at explaining these phenomena, in terms of things known on this earth. That was “Science’s” contribution to the press correspondence column a week or two ago. This seemed to me, in my ignorance, a possible explanation. * I have an alternative one, which I would like to try out on any scientific readers of your correspondence. Flying saucers have become popular mainly since jet aeroplanes and atomic bombs became facts; and I.feel a connexion with one or other is likely. Is it possible that, under certain weather conditions, concentrations of sound, following faster-than-sound aircraft, besides breaking windows, may also become vjsible for a space of time?— Yours, etc., NO SCIENCE. Peel Forest, July 5, 1954.
