'SAYS FLYING SAUCERS ARE PELICANS'

Spokane, Wash., July 12 (BUP).

A veteran Northwest Airlines pilot who has flown over the
Pacific northwest's "flying saucer" country for 15 years today
took all the glamor out of the mystery of the flying discs.

All that people have been seeing, he said, are pelicans. Or
maybe geese or swans.

Capt. Gordon Moore disclosed that he and his co-pilot, Vern
Kesler were saucer-hunting last Wednesday on a regular flight
between here and Portland, Ore. Kesler was sure he had seen some
flying saucers on July 2, and the pilots were armed with movie
cameras and binoculars for another encounter.

"Suddenly we spotted nine big round disks weaving northward two
thousand feet below us," Moore related.

"We investigated and found they were real all right --- real
pelicans."
