The War Department dumped 162 declassified files on Friday that show thousands of “flying saucers” reported in our skies since the 1940s. From military brass to commercial pilots, these reports describe metallic, disc-shaped aircraft that can pull 90-degree turns while staying without making a sound. [In 1947], Pan Am Captain Alpheus Powell was cruising toward La Guardia when he spotted a bright orange, “fuselage-sized” cylinder pacing his plane. His navigator, W. White, saw a deep gold, elliptical craft doing 175 mph. He described it as about 15 feet long and 2-5 feet deep. [In 1964], officer Lonnie Zamora thought he was chasing a speeder in New Mexico, but he found something much weirder. A mystery craft touched down, leaving behind four rectangular indentations in the dirt and three patches of charred grass before blasting off. [In 1994,] the crew of Air France Flight 3532 saw an 800-foot-long behemoth hanging in the sky. The craft morphed from a “brown bell” into a “lens” before vanishing instantly. This time, radar confirmed the bogey was right where the pilots said it was. Last November, a solid unidentified aerial phenomenon (UAP) was caught on camera over Syria. It zipped along at 424 knots for seven minutes, moving with the erratic rhythm of a “bouncy ball” and showing zero interest in our military observers.

Each news summary is created according to strict standards. Here's how we do it.
Each summary is created using a consistent editorial procedure. The target length is approximately 16 lines of 11-point Arial text in a 650-pixel-wide column. Up to 25% of a summary may be set in bold to emphasize the most important ideas. Summaries are composed of verbatim excerpts presented in the same sequence as they appear in the original news source, with very minor editorial additions. Where material has been omitted between excerpts, the omission is indicated with ellipses (...). Any words added by an editor for clarity or context appear in [brackets]. Our original news editor was Fred Burks. Tod Fletcher edited most summaries from 2007 through 2014, and Mark Bailey has served as news editor since 2014.
