Background
The Army Air Force issued a press release saying that, based on a "preliminary study," the flying discs were not secret bacteriological weapons designed by a foreign power, experimental army aircraft or spaceships. However, Army and Navy officials were not certain what they were. Eberhart cites the Racine (Wisconsin) Journal Times of July 8, 1947. The account follows the entry in George M. Eberhart's chronology UFOs and Intelligence (CUFOS) and the sources cited there; it is not an independent determination by From Beyond Space.
