hen the visual report came in.

At 5:37 the target disappeared from the scopes and was gone for good.

The _Seabago_ Case was ended but the UFO's continued to fly.

Reports continued to come into the Air Force and a lot of
investigators lost a lot of sleep.

The next day at 3:50P.M. the C.O. of an Air Force weather detachment
at Long Beach, California, and twelve airmen watched six saucer-
shaped UFO's streak along _under_ the bases of a 7000 foot high cloud
deck.

On the same day, also in Long Beach, officers and men at the Los
Alamitos Naval Air Station saw UFO's almost continuously between the
hours of 6:05 and 7:25P.M.

Long Beach police reported "well over a hundred calls" during this
same period.

During November and December of 1957 it was a situation of you name
the city and there was a UFO report from there. Trying to sift them
out and put them in a book would be like sorting out a plateful of
spaghetti. And if you succeeded you would have a document the size of
the New York City telephone directory.

Most of the reports were explained.

The Levelland, Texas, sightings were written off as "St. Elmo's
Fire." The military police at the White Sands Proving Ground saw the
moon through broken clouds and the crew of the Coast Guard ship
_Seabago_ were actually tracking several separate aircraft.

The 1957 flap was as great as the previous record breaking 1952
flap. During 1957 the Air Force received 1178 UFO reports. Of these,
only 20 were placed on the "unknown" list.

In comparison to 1957, the first months of 1958 were a doldrums.
Reports drifted in at a leisurely pace and the Air Force UFO
investigating teams, blooded during the avalanche of 1957, picked off
solutions like knocking off clay pipes in a shooting gallery.

In Los Angeles, a few clear nights drove the Air Defense Command
nuts. People could actually see the sky and the sight of so many
stars frightened them.

Unusual atmospherics in Georgia made stars jump and radars go crazy;
and a balloon, hanging over Chicago at dusk, cost the taxpayers
another several thousand dollars but the pilots made their flight pay.

A statement by Dr. Carl Jung, renowned Swiss psychologist, was
widely publicized in July 1958. Dr. Jung was quoted as saying, in a
letter to a U.S. saucer club, "UFO's are real." When Dr. Jung read
what he was supposed to have written the Alps rang with screams of
"misquote."

No one got excited until the early morning of Sep
