“Mica-mine manager Ijapada Chatterjee and hundreds of others reportedly watched a saucer-shaped object descend to an estimated 500 feet, hover and then climb rapidly, producing a strong gust of wind.”
“Hall adds that the sighting occurred over a mine that supplied beryllium to the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission; that contextual association does not establish a causal relationship.”
“Hall introduces Section X as a survey intended to show that UFO reports, official investigations and private study groups were international rather than uniquely American.”
“Hall states that language difficulties limited NICAP’s Far East collection and quotes the Taiwan Weather Bureau as favoring military responsibility for UFO observation and selective public release.”
