WHAT IS IT? - Rex Helflin, an Orange County, Calif., Highway Department investigator who said he didn't believe in flying saucers, has released this and two other photos he said were made with a Polaroid camera Aug. 3, about the time a rash of unidentified flying object reports were being made in the Midwest and Southeast. He said he saw a silver object, about 20 feet in diameter and eight feet thick, near the Santa Ana Marine Corps air facility, streaking overhead like speed. It was visible for 15 seconds, he said, and made no sound. There was, he said, of white light rotating under the object, and his two-way radio was inoperative while was overhead - he said.
