It is Johnson’s theory that some agency is conducting scientific experiments with harmless discs. Kjell Qvale, former navy pilot, now in the automobile business in Auburn, told newsmen in Alameda early this week he and about 50 other persons had seen a group of “flying saucera’’ about 2°30 p.m. Saturday near Auburn. He’ said they were visible three or more minutes. “IT have seen a lot. of airplanes, Panid those were not planes,”’ he said. “T thougit like most people that the reports on the discs were erazy”’ he continued, ‘but now I have seen} them myself.”’ Several Auburn residents ineluding Albert Saladana and John Flint report seeing peculiar objects which might be flying discs over the past week end. Never to be left out of things, the Truckee-Tahoe area this past week #éme in for its reports of the. air‘borne platters. The first was reported in July 3 by Rex Levisee, forest service lookout at Martis Creek, at between 20,000 and 22,000 feet in the vicinity of Red Mountain inthe Summit Range, This “‘disc’’ was a bit lazy compared , to others reported over the nation and appeared to be moving very: slowly. Levisee reported one side was quite bright while the other was duli and did not reflect the sunlight. : ‘rom our Tahoe ¢orrespondents we received a report that Jay Hall of Oakland employed at Meadow Peak, Meeks Bay, spotted one there Monday evening while driving alone on the lakeshore near Homewood. He said it was almost overhead when he first saw it and he watched it travel into -the mountajns on the west shore of the lake.
