Witnesses to UFOs get caught up in what they’ve heard and read, Klass said Monday night at a speech for MSC Great Issues. “The brain begins to supply details that the eye never sees,” he said. “We all tend to think that only little old ladies in gym shoes and kooks report UFOs, but some in telligent observers like scientists, pilots, businessmen and politi cians have been known to do so,” Klass said.

But as an editor for Aviation Week and Space Tehnology magazine, Klass said he must al ways remember that any report may be the First real extra terrestrial visitor. “If I should bunk the real story I’d lose my job,” he said. But as an investigator, Klass looks for all possible earthly ex planations before declaring a re port as a UFO. He recounted an incident that received the National En quirer award for most valuable UFO report of the year in 1973. On Oct. 18 an Army helicop ter sited a flaming white object from the east headed straight for the aircraft. Capt. Larry Coyne began descension at 2,000 feet per minute. A green light bathed the inside of the cabin and hovered for 3 minutes before it flashed white and sped off. Radio contact to Cleveland, Akron and Columbus was black- ed-out and helicopter myste riously climbed from 400 feet altitude to 22,000 feet. .; ; ”,V.^T'Vu fl - .
