# 'STRANGE LIGHT' OBSERVED
## Deputies See 'Object' In Sky

By JOHN F. BROWN
(Times Herald Reporters)

"People will say we are crazy," Deputy Sheriffs Robert Baker and Merle Clark said when they were asked to describe what they saw while on patrol early today.

THEY DIDN'T say they saw a flying saucer or any little green man, but they did say they saw and heard something strange.

The unidentified flying object observed by two St. Clair County Deputy Sheriffs and at least 40 other persons about 5:15 a.m. Tuesday still remains a mystery.

The first Fighter Wing, Air Defense Command, from Selfridge Air Force Base, will begin an extensive week-long night flying program today.
Some booms will be heard during the period of trainings.
"Night flying is one of the man…

## Nobody Believes In Sky Objects, Do They?

By LOUIS J. DUNN
(Los Angeles Times Editor)

Not too many of us "wise" mortals believe these stories of flying saucers, sky objects and what have you, but did you ever notice how those are the very stories none of us ever misses when reading the paper.

It was that way here in The Times Herald office even before reporter Jerry Brown's story on the sky lights observed by the two deputies, Bob Baker and Merle Clark, got into the paper last Tuesday.

NONE OF US experts believed it, of course. After all, flying objects …
