Keyhoe, a total skeptic when contracted as a freelance writer for the investigative report ("as a pilot, I'd been skeptical of the flying disks"), began his investigation in May, 1949.
Keyhoe further argues, with some amusement I think, that it was highly unlikely that a balloon, leaking or intact, could have reversed course, turned at sharp angles, dove and climbed at speeds faster than a pursuing F-51 fighter travelling at 400 miles per hour.
Keyhoe's belief in the "interplanetary" option as the explanation of UFOs was based on his thorough research of 175 years of sightings.

The "temperature inversion" or mirage answer to radar sightings widely publicized by Dr. Donald H. Menzel of Harvard has failed to satisfy Force investigators because he has not attempted to explain any specific "saucer" cases in official files.
According to Dr. Donald H. Menzel, of Harvard University, this effect explains many flying saucers, both the lights and radar blips.
It is Menzel's belief that observers have merely seen reflections, either of ground lights - or of stars, the moon, or the sun.
