News and Views From Everywhere What Next ?

 Monday, November 30, 1953
Brisbane, Queensland (Australia) - The Worker


“Flying Saucers” reported from four Western capitals recently could be reconnaissance patrols from another planet, according to a theory from experts' views.  Major Keyhoe, a leading American investigator of “saucers”, said recently that people on earth wishing to observe another planet would send up a “mother spaceship” from which small patrol craft could be launched.  If attacked by fighter planes from the “other world” they would zoom away out of danger.  This was just as “saucers” picked up on a London anti-aircraft regiment's radar set on November 3 had behaved, said Major Keyhoe yesterday.  That explanation would supply the answer to the saucer mystery.


Earthmen who wanted to observe Mars would set up bases on moons which circle Mars.  Men from Mars may equally well have established a base on the earth's moon.  Flying saucer reports always come just when Mars reaches the closest point to the earth in its orbit.  The Air Ministry has dismissed 95 per cent of saucer reports as explainable by natural phenomena.  But three members of Parliament have given notice of questions in the Commons this week about the remainder.  The Air Ministry says that in the other 5 per cent of cases experts have been unable to reach any conclusions.  Canada, America and South Africa have investigated reports of saucers.  Canada has built an official “saucer spotting station” near Ottawa.  In star systems near the earth there are 22 planets on which astronomers believe life could exist.  They think it reasonable to suppose life does exist on them.
