Navy's Continued From Page One model was also built and is now being used in wind tunnel tests at Langley, Va, by the National Advisory Committee for Aeronautics (NACA). A Navy spokesman denied that the service any pancake jet planes. also the developed Navy is not developing or experimenting with any type of missile that could be regarded as saucershaped. The magazine, in today's issue, the saucers to Zimmerattributed, experiments, which it said were carried on for NACA.

NACA officials said that so far as they know no plane of the type was every flown, and a model based on Zimmerman's design is slated to go to the Smithsonian Institute. The magazine said an early model saucer was built in 1942 and made more than 100 test flights before the projects was taken over by the Navy. Air Force officials have discontinued a two-year study of flying saucer reports, saying the 375 cases they studied could be attributed to (1) conventional objects, (2) hoakes, or (3) imagination. Meanwhile, patent office records turned up at least one inventor who worked on the idea of a saucer plane. He was Alexander George Weygers of Oakland, who was granted a patent on June 5, 1945, for a round craft somewhat resembling a grapefruit sliced in half.

Patent office records do not show whether Weygers ever built a flying model. Weygers could not be located in Oakland.
