il Saucers Lately?BY BOY UDYEBS

Was the ,'flylng saucerr re-ported over Northeastern Ohloearly Sunday mornlng an ll-luminated small plane. towlnga banner of the klnd frequenflyused in aerlal advertlslng?

The Herald learned thisweekof a flyer from Tarenhrm, pa.,who has such a plane, on therear of whlch is a spoflightwhlch can illumlnate the banner.

The flyer, Fred Eller, wasat the Chagrin Falls AlrportSunday afternoon, but deniedln a telephone conversailonthathe was flying over the area.when the ,,flylng saucerrt wasreported seen.

Eller conceded, nonetheless,that hls advertlslng buslness.,seems to go up every tlmetherets a flying saucer report.r'

The Mantua police chlef re-ported photographlng the flylngobject and t\4'o Portagp Coungsherlff's deputles chased lt asfar as Freedom, Pa., wherethey lost slght of lt. Freedomls only a few mlles from Tar-entum.

Other pllots told The Herald

tlat Ellerrs plane hrs a speedjust about that quoted by thePortage deputles-from .80 to100 mlles an hour.

They sald also that a planeflying from thls area to Tar-entum would follow pretty muchttre route taken by the deputiesln thelr chase.

fie pllots sald there ts norequlrement for a plane of thlstype to ftle a fllght plan fromone small alrport to another,so that lt would be lmposslbleio check whetherEUerrs planewas ln the alr at any speclflctlme.

Moreover, a plane flylng atan altltude of less than 2,000feet, as the deputles say thesaucer was flylng, probablywould not be ptcked up onradarfrom any tracklng statlons un-less lt flew dlrectly over them.

Whether or not Eilerwasthe ptot ln ttrls lnstance, thenext ttme anyone.spots a..fly-lng saucer,, tn the alr, lt mtghtbe well for hlm to try to.seewhether the obJect ls flashlngsome such message as ,tDrlnkBrand X!',
