Doolittle is merely the studying the use of our radar

Lieutenant General James H. Doolittle's forthcoming visit to Sweden is not in any way connected with the mysterious projectiles that flew over this land, we are told in authoritative circles on Tuesday evening.

Doolittle (a former commander of the 8th U.S. Air Force, now retired from the military) had, according to statements in the New York Times, traveled to Sweden in order to inspect radar equipment used against unexplained projectiles.

"Doolittle's visit is in absolutely no direct connection with the projectiles”, explained a representative of Shell Company. "His trip to the Scandinavian countries was being planned, in fact, for six months ago, long before any projectiles were seen over Swedish soil. Doolittle manages our flight department and his trip to Scandinavia is only intended as an inspection tour.”
