Possible explanations

Donald Howard Menzel in his book The World of Flying Saucers: A Scientific Examination of a Major Myth of the Space Age, 1963 (pp. 260-265) gave possible naturalistic explanation for the alleged UFO sighting. This should be explored. HealthyGirl (talk) 21:23, 10 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
