Initial data
PHILADELPHIA, September 27. Four Philadelphia police officers think they know what's going on with the flying saucers - they disappear.
Patrolmen John Collins and Joseph Keenan reported last night that they saw a mysterious object about six feet in diameter floating to the ground in an open field.
They called the sergeant. Joseph Cook and Patrolman James Casper. Then they approached the object and turned on their flashlights.
Patrolman Collins tried to pick up the "thing". According to him, the part that his hand touched dissolved, leaving a sticky residue without smell. Within half an hour, the entire object had evaporated. The policeman reported that it was so light that it did not even bend the weeds on which it rested.
Sergeant Cook notified the Federal Bureau of Investigation, but unfortunately, the FBI agents had nothing to show except a spot on the ground.
