Johnny Johnson, employe of the E. L. Mansure company on the Virginia Side made a vain attempt to ground the 'flying discs' with his shotgun Wednesday night when they were sighted by his on the Brush Fork rodad.


Johnson explained that his wife and some friends were on their way home from church about 10 p. m. when the objects were first sighted. At that time he was asleeep but when his wife awoke him, he grabbed his shotgun and shot into the sky several times.

However, the only that fell was Johnson's hope of capturing one of the nationally-known curiosities.

He says th discs were saucer-shaped objects and appeared to be a short distance from the ground.

They flew around for about thirty minutes, stated Johnson, and after several tries, he admitted defeat and returned to his bed to dream of such things as pink elephants and flying disks."
