Flying saucers again, which is found in four cities of Ontario
Residents of Hamilton, Brantford, Galt and Stratford are sure that they saw something strange in the air yesterday, and are equally sure that what they saw was NOT an optical illusion.
L. K. Komba from Stratford said that he saw a round bright object in the sky shortly before seven in the morning. According to Mr. Combe, it was too bright for a star.
In Brantford, about 100 Massey-Harris Co. employees were straining their necks, looking at a disk-shaped structure "like a shining star" that appeared around 7: 15 a.m. and disappeared at 7: 45 a.m., traveling south.
"Sometimes he was flying on his side, and sometimes he was floating," said one of the employees. "It was about 100 miles away. We watched him for about 20 minutes, and during that time he must have traveled from 500 to 600 miles. It seemed like he was just floating."
When asked if it was a flock of geese or other birds, another employee shook his head.
"This is not a chance," he said. "It was an inanimate object without wings."
The residents of Hamilton had a different description of what they saw. They said it was a round ball, like a balloon, silvery in color and about a mile high.
Three men in Glenmorris, south of Galt, stated that it had the appearance of a large silver ball and was located directly south of Galt.

Flying Saucers Back Again; Seen in Four Ontario Cities
Those flying saucers are in the news again.
Residents of Hamilton, Brantford, Galt and Stratford are positive they saw something strange in the air yesterday, and they are equally positive that whatever it was they saw was NOT an optical illusion.
L. K. Comba of Stratford said he saw a round, bright object in the sky just before 7 a.m. It was too bright for a star, according to Mr. Comba.
At Brantford about 100 employees of Massey-Harris Co., strained their necks gazing at a disc-like affair "like a burnished star" which made its appearance about 7:15 a.m. and disappeared at 7:45, travelling southward.
"At times it flew on its side and at others floated flat," one employee said. "It was about 100 miles away. We watched it for about 20 minutes and in that time it must have travelled between 500 and 600 miles. It just seemed to be floating along."
Asked if it might have been a flock of geese or other birds, another employee shook his head. "Not a chance," he declared. "This was an inanimate object and had no wings."
Hamilton residents had a different description of whatever it was they saw. They said it was a round, balloon-like affair, silver-colored, and about a mile high.
Three men at Glenmorris, south of Galt, declared it had the appearance of a big silver ball, and was directly south of Galt.
