Faculty Members
Reject Bargaining
UFOs: Historical Hoax
Or Very Strange Truth?
Fresno State CoUego faculty
members have taken the aame
stand as faculty on tho other
state coUege campuses by re¬
jecting s measure to Introduce
coUecUve bargaining Into the col¬
lege system. The FSC vote was
158 yes and 223 no.
On campus, 379 voted from a
possible 523 eligible faculty
members. Percentage for tho
measure was 41 per cent. Those
against represented 59 per cent,
which was higher than tho state
average of 54 per cent against
and 46 per cent tor.
The total vote came from 17
state college campuses and was
close, with' 2,408 voting yes and
2,845 voting no. San Francisco
State, the remaining campus,has
not had their election. SFSC fac¬

The measure, If passed by the
faculty, would have called for se¬
lection of a bargaining agent from

On June 24, 1947, the first of¬

at a recent faculty-student hous¬

about the extent of college con¬

Albright explained that the

campus policy for the state col¬
leges, and was hesitant at this
point to deal in specifics.

To Be Held
Six months after Arnold made
his first sighting, people to Ken¬
tucky were owed by on ember-
colored object floating thousands
of feet above them. CoUs im¬
mediately began pouring into toe
local poUce stations which In
turn  contacted     the nearby air
At that particular moment, a
Captain Thomas Montell, Jr., was
leading a flight of P-51 fighters
In tho vicinity. He was requested
by the field to Investigate the
UFO. After several minutes, he
reported back that be hod spotted
the UFO and was to pursuit. Be¬
cause the other pilots were not
equipped with oxygen they turned
back   whUe   Mantell   continued.
As his plane climbed out of
visual range, ManteU radioed
back to the base control tower:
•It's dlrecUy ahead of me and
moving at about half my speed.
I'm closing in now to take a good
look. The thing looks metallic
and is tremendous In slze."Those
were his last words.
An hour later searchers found
Mantell's plane scattered over a
half mile area of Kentucky.
Though the Air Force and Navy
later claimed that Mantell had
only spotted a then-secret Sky¬
hook balloon, It Is hard to Imagine
a career pilot who had distin¬
guished himself during WWU
mistaking a balloon for a UFO.
"Blips"
Then, to 1952, Washington,
D.C., became the scene of ono
of the mostpubllclzedUFOsight¬
ings. Not only were commercial
pilots, private citizens and ob¬
servers spotting objects, but
radar Installations surrounding
the capltol wore also picking up
definite 'blips.'
Responding to the reports, Jots
were launched to 'protect* tho
city from whatever was hovering
overhead. The reports and sight¬
ings lasted nearly a week then

Many UFO Mysteries Never Solved
(Continued from Page 2)
suffering from mirages,
many of the reports cannot be
plained away.
Some of the m
sightings, however, have other
than serious orlgins-the prank¬
sters, who enjoy fooling the pub¬
lic through ingenious methods of
deception.
Take the person who con¬
structed on 'alien machine* of
carefully rebuilt Junk. The sup¬
posedly 'real' flying saucer was
found to 1950 and speculation
grew as to what it really was. One
man finally guessed Its secret
and ended the Joke tor some
unknown person or persons.
Then there is the Incident that
took place lost December near
Los Angeles. After numerous
"sightings* and calls, the city was
convinced it had been visited by
UFOs-until a high school boy
came forward with the answer.
By sealing one end of plastic
clothes bags, he was able to
fashion his own version of aUFO.
Plastic straws tor struts and a
candle forpower, and zap-instant

over 'hree million people.
Betsuse no one has ever ac¬
tually brought to a UFO, people

tho 'home movie* look, either
because of poor photography or a
"doctored* quality. Many months
of examination are spent on UFO
fUms by the Air Force, which
usually weeds out the phony ones.
Rarely are good pictures of UFOs
released for public Inspection.
Photographs of flying hubcaps,
reflected lights and other In¬
ventive devices are constantly
palmed off on the public as the
real thing. It Is no wonder that
most people shy away from pic¬
tures that even the Air Force can¬
not explain away as being phony.
It Is this small percentage of
•actual* photographs and movies
that has apparently convinced the
Air Force to conduct some re¬
search on the subject of UFOs.
It has only been within the lost
few years that the Air Force has
allowed the pubUc to witness
some UFO Alms on television.
These programs ore o result of-
a commission labeled Blue Book.
Shortly after the first sighting
in lM7,theAlrForceestabUshed
a sort of clearing house for UFO
reports. Its Job was to Investi¬
gate and explain what people were
actually seeing to toe sky. Of¬

Headed by Major Hector Quln-
tanllla, the commission has In¬

reports. Out of that number, 659

mirages, natural phenomena,
swamp gas, or baUoons.

There are more stories about
UFOs, some of which never made
the headlines or left the security
of an Air Force office. Few
people know of the documented
story of 0 squadron of Air Force
Jets that tracked a UFO over toe
Gulf of Mexico several years
ago, yet the facts seem irrefut¬
able.
The story began when a radar

up a large 'blip* on the screen.
Jets were ordered Into toe air

ing station followed the progress
of the Jets os- the smaller "blips*

helplessly as the tour Jets moved

A search revealed nothing. No

wreckage was ever found, yet
something did happen in those
four Jets and the crews.'
