A FLYING OBJECT IN THE UNITED STATES WAS INVESTIGATED BY OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT NEW YORK, MARCH 23.
The US Air Force called in its scientific consultant on unidentified flying objects, Dr. Allen Heineck, to investigate the "flying football" that was reported from Ann Arbor, Michigan, on Sunday evening. The director of civil defense, an assistant dean and 87 students at Hillsdale College near Ann Arbor reported seeing a "glowing object" fly past the dorm window and hover over the swamp for hours. Fifty other people also reported seeing it.
Mr. William van Horn, director of civil defense for Hillsdale County, said that the object was "definitely a kind of vehicle" that looked round or oblong through binoculars. He said he dimmed the lights when police cars were approaching, glowed when they were leaving, and dodged the light of the airport beacon.
Dr. Hynek, who recently described his many years of experience in the study of unidentified flying objects in an article in The Times, is the director of the Dearborn Observatory at Northwestern University, Evanston, Illinois. He established a temporary headquarters at Mount Clemens Air Force Base, near Ann Arbor.

U.S. FLYING OBJECT INVESTIGATED
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
NEW YORK, MARCH 23
The United States Air Force has called in its scientific consultant on unidentified flying objects, Dr. Allen Hynek, to investigate the "flying football" reported from Ann Arbor, Michigan, on Sunday night. A civil defence director and an assistant dean and 87 undergraduates of Hillsdale College, near Ann Arbor, have now reported seeing a "glowing object" fly past a dormitory window and hover over a swamp for hours. Fifty other people also reported seeing it.
Mr. William van Horn, director of civil defence for Hillsdale County, said the object was "definitely some kind of vehicle", which appeared through binoculars as either round or oblong. He said that it dimmed its lights when police cars came near, brightened when they went away, and dodged the beacon light of an airport.
Dr, Hynek, who recently recorded his many years' experience of investigating unidentified flying objects in an article in The Times, is director of Dearborn Observatory at North Western University, Evanston, Illinois. He has set up temporary headquarters at an air force base at Mount Clemens, near Ann Arbor.
