Headquarters of the Air Force

that there has been a flurry of re.

And so seriously are the reports
viewed that fast Interceptor planes
are kept on the ready to Jet aloft
to find out what goea on II pos

an ADC spokesman, said. "Those
planes are kept loaded and ready

more than a tew feet away.
They're In the air within seconds
of a report that seems deflnate

The thing Is not geared up Just
for saucers, though. The system
is the same as that worked out to
meet any enemy attack.
Furthermore, the ADC Isn't say

The results of the scrambles aren't
for it to announce. Findings are
turned over to technical experts
at Wright Patterson Air Force

The ADC, which commands and
