UFOs have earthly explanations
by Leigh-EHen Clark
Battalion Reporter
Lift up your eyes to look for
UFOs but consider earthly ex
planations before you declare
them a miracle, says UFO au
thority Philip Klass.
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.

reports of extra-terrestrial crafts
have yet to produce artifacts or
pictures that will stand up under
close scrutiny, he 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.
