They Investigate...
Flying Saucers
A NEW ZEALAND organisation with headquarters at Onehunga for nearly three years has been engaged on a bizarre investigation that would have warmed the heart of Jules Verne. The question it seeks to answer is: Do “flying saucers” visit us from distant worlds?
Since October, 1952, Civilian Saucer Investigation (N.Z.) has collected, collated and disseminated reports from all parts of the world on unidentified flying objects in the sky.
Having made itself familiar with the many theories advanced to explain the “saucers”, and having made research
For 10 seconds they kept pace behind it; then they pulled off to one side. At the same moment the captain saw a huge half-inch blip on the scope. Still moving at more than 5000 m.p.h., the smaller object merged with the large “machine”. Instantly the huge ship moved across the stone quickly

At 8.35 p.m. she saw a blue, globe-shaped object overhead. It was some time, she said, before she realised it was not a star or anything else she had ever seen. But she was, nevertheless, able to study it for about 20 seconds before it moved southward at great speed, eventually disappearing behind the St. Clair cliffs.
For years, reports have been received from all parts of the globe about strange sky sightings. Some indeed take a bit of swallowing. This one, for instance, re from France:—
A metal worker, Marins Dew who lived in a cottage near the
