Flying Saucers Again
Whenever journalists face a news famine, they revive the undeniably interesting question: How can we explain UFOs-unidentified flying objects? The story usually commences with a description of the object by some observant night watchman who doesn't hesitate to identify the object as having migrated from outer space.
The vessel, he persists, appeared over the hazy lake at about 30 feet. A greenish gleam prohibited him from
seeing its exact shape, he admits. Newspaper editors love these stories because they keep the population
interested in knowledge about UFOs and keep them buying newspapers.
