community. As usual there
were various descriptions but everyone agreed "they'd never seen
anything like it before."

On the sixth night, the Air Force sent in an investigator and he saw
them. Between the hours of 9:00P.M. and midnight he saw six groups of
triangular shaped objects that glowed "with a dull fluorescence,
faint but bright enough to see." They passed from horizon to horizon
in six seconds.

The next day this investigator was called back to Colorado Springs,
his base, and a fresh team was sent to Pueblo.

The man _really_ chomped down on the dog in July and the UFO
_really_ made headlines.

Maybe it was because a fellow newspaper editor was involved, along
with the Kansas Highway Patrol, the Navy and the Air Force. Or, maybe
it was simply because it was a good UFO sighting.

About the time Miss Iowa was being judged Miss USA in the 1956 Miss
Universe Pageant at Long Beach, the city editor of _Arkansas_ _City_
_Daily_ _Traveler_, and a trooper of the Kansas State Highway Patrol
were sitting in a patrol cruiser in Arkansas City. It was a hot and

brought to an abrupt finale by three high pitched beeps from the
cruiser's radio. An important "all cars bulletin" was coming. Twenty-
five years as a newspaperman had trained the editor to always be on
the alert for a story so he reached down and turned up the volume.
Within seconds he had his story.

"The Hutchinson Naval Air Station is picking up an unidentified
target on their radar," the voice of the dispatcher said, with as
much of an excited tone as a police dispatcher can have. "Take a look."

Then the dispatcher went on to say that the target was moving in a
semi-circular area that reached out from 50 to 75 miles east of
Hutchinson. A B-47 from McConnell AFB at Wichita was in the area,
searching. The last fix on the object showed it to be near Emporia,
in Marion County.

The two men in the patrol cruiser looked at each other for a second
or two. Like all newspaper editors, this man had had his bellyful of
flying saucer reports--but this was a little different.

"Let's go out and look," he said, fully doubting that they
