Flying Saucer Sighted At Pueblo
Pueblo, Colorado -- June 18 -- (UP) -- Those "flying saucers" are here again.
An object commonly called a "flying saucer" was sighted by the US Weather Bureau station at Plueblo Municipal airport at 8:45 pm Tuesday.

Orville Foster of the Weather Bureau said that he and an assistant watched the "flying saucer" for approximately 10 minutes in the bureau theodolite, the instrument used to observe weather balloons.

They said the "object" had no definite shape, possibly because of a smoke haze that enveloped the Pueblo area. It threw a soft white light, they said, and occasionally took on a reddish hue. It moved through the sky at a leisurely speed and finally disappearred toward the northeast.

Foster and John George, his assistant, both agreed that it was neither a light reflection nor a plane.

Although the "flying saucer" did not circle above the city proper, several residents reported they saw it in the sky northeast of the city limits.
