John,
I understand. Had this been a one-time incident, I'd be more inclined to doubt but apparently, the officers mentioned knew the difference between a flak shell and something larger. And the Office of War Information had issued guidelines to newspapers about wartime reporting. To me, it is credible to view the article in the following light: multiple sightings means multiple witnesses will be talking about this after the war, so it was reported.
I was incredulous when I heard about the
LiSpr80, Lichtsprechgerät 80/80.
Communicating using light?
