KANSAS CITY, June 26, (AP) — Nine shiny objects flying at a high rate of speed such as described by a Boise Idaho pilot were reported by W. I. Davenport, a carpenter, to have been sighted here Wednesday.

Davenport, working on the roof of a house, said he saw the objects flying west shortly after noon. He said he first heard the faint sound of motors.

There were nine of them, flying in a group with one a little to one side. He said, They were flying so fast I barely had time to count them before they were gone. They were leaving vapor trails.

He added that he could not describe the shape of the objects since he could not see them clearly.
