Flying Disks Said
To Be Old Stuff;
Romans Saw Them
Norman, Okla (U.R Flying
saucers are as old as the human
race and the Romans of 2,000
years ago even had a name for
them, a University of Oklahoma
professor contends.
Frank G. Tappan, professor of
electrical engineering, said, "Cae
sar's people called the mystery
disks muscae volitantes flying
flies."
Here's Tappan's theory on the
saucers:
Theory Outlined
"Due to impurities in the vitre
ous humor of the eyeball or to
scars on its surface, you can see
small discs, saucers, cylinders,
beads or strings of beads.
"They are particularly notice
able when seen against the
background of a clear sky. They
may drift about in the eye. They
are seldom in the center of the
field of vision and the eye turns
automatically to bring them into
the center.
"Naturally," he said, "they
move still farther ahead and the
eye follows. If you imagine you
are seeing something external to
the eye and far out in space, you
decide they are moving at tre
mendous speed across the sky."
Tappan said something of this
sort occurs when persons in elec
trical storms "see" fireballs en
tering their rooms.
Lightning Flashes
"If the person hadn't been look
ing exactly in the direction I
where a lightning flash takes j
place, the brilliant flash leaves
a positive after image on the ret
ina of the eye," he explains.
"The eye tries to bring it into
the center of the field of vision
but it moves ahead. The person
chases it around the room, finally
loses it in the brightness of a
fireplace or of a window."
Tappan believes 99 per cent of ;
today's flying saucers can be ex
plained by this phenomenon.
One per cent, he said, may be '
balloons, planes or meteors. j
"I myself," he declared, "have ;
been seeing flying saucers for 50 I
years." j

Portland, Ore., May 19 (U.R)
