Re: Flying Saucers
Gentlemen: With the persistent debate just now on the above, it sort of annoys me and since I have an opinion of international nature, I'd feel pretty bad if I happened to be right and it resulted in harm to my country. I realize I might be wasting your time (my theory perhaps having been considered and discounted) but on the other hand if it's a new angle it might bear investigation.
