  4. 수요일에 "비행 플랩잭(flying flapjacks)"에 대한 더 많은 보고가 접수되었는데, 그중 하나는 고(故) 텍스 랭킨(Tex Rankin)의 형제이자 본인 스스로도 7,000시간 이상의 비행 경력을 가진 숙련된 조종사 딕 랭킨(Dick Rankin)의 것이었다. 자동차 사고로 입은 과거의 등 부상에서 회복 중인 랭킨은 여름을 보내기 위해 주말에 포틀랜드(Portland)로 왔다. 그는 6월 23일 캘리포니아주 베이커스필드(Bakersfield, Cal.) 상공에서 잔디밭에 누워 일광욕을 하던 중 "은빛 접시(silver saucers)"를 보았다고 'The Oregonian'에 말했다. 랭킨은 "신문에서 큰 소동이 일어난 것을 알아채기 전까지는 그것들에 대해 길게 말하기가 망설여졌습니다."라고 말했다. "나는 한동안 그 이상한 모양을 두고 고민하다가, 마침내 그것들이 얇고 둥글며 쌍발 프로펠러와 뭉툭한 꼬리를 가진 해군의 신형 XF5U-1 비행 플랩잭이라고 결론지었습니다."

    More reports of "flying flapjacks" turned up Wednesday, one from no less than Dick Rankin, brother of the late Tex Rankin, and himself an experienced pilot of more than 7000 hours' flying time. Rankin, who is recovering from an old back injury received in an automobile accident, came to Portland over the weekend to spend the summer. He saw the "silver saucers" over Bakersfield, Cal., June 23, while lying on the lawn sun bathing, he told The Oregonian. "I hesitated to say much about them," Rankin said, "until I noticed all the hullabaloo in the papers. I puzzled over their strange shape for a while and finally concluded that they were the navy's new XF5U-1 flying flapjacks, which are thin and round, with twin propellers and stubby tail."

  5. XF5U-1은 단 한 대만 제작됨.

    ONLY ONE XF5U-1 BUILT.

  6. 해군과 제조사는 그러한 기계가 단 한 대만 제작되었으며 코네티컷을 벗어난 적이 없다고 공식적으로 발표했다. "이 비행기들은 아마도 8,000피트 정도로 높이 날고 있었고, 시속 약 300에서 400마일로 상당히 빨랐습니다. 나는 처음에 북쪽으로 향하는 편대에서 10대를 세었습니다. 오후 3시 15분경에 그것들은 반대 경로로 돌아와 남쪽으로 향했지만 편대에는 7대만 있었습니다. 그것들은 편대 비행 중에 지그재그로 움직이거나 위아래로 흔들리지 않았습니다. 나는 프로펠러의 수나 위치를 파악할 수 없었고 날개나 꼬리를 구별할 수 없었습니다. 그것들은 거의 둥글게 보였습니다. 해군의 비행 플랩잭 사진처럼 보였습니다."라고 랭킨이 말했다. 이곳 634 N. W. Simpson St.에서 여름을 보낼 계획인 랭킨은 이제 상업적인 목적은 아니지만 취미로 약간의 비행을 재개할 수 있다고 그는 말했다. 그는 현재 여러 개의 자동차 여행객용 숙소(auto courts)를 운영하고 있으며, 겨울은 팜스프링스(Palm Springs)에서 보낸다.

    The navy and the manufacturer have announced officially that only one such machine was built and that it never left Connecticut. "These planes were flying high, maybe 8000 feet, and fairly fast, about 300 or 400 miles an hour. I first counted ten of them in formation, going north. About 3:15 P.M. they returned on the reverse course, headed south, but there were only seven in the formation. "They were not weaving or bobbing in formation; I couldn't make out the number or location of their propellers and couldn't distinguish any wings or tail. They appeared almost round. They looked like pictures of the navy's flying flapjack," Rankin said. Rankin, who plans to spend the summer here at 634 N. W. Simpson St. is now able to resume a little flying for fun, but not commercially, he said. He now operates a string of auto courts, spending his winters at Palm Springs.

  7. 두 설명이 일치함.

    TWO DESCRIPTIONS CHECK.

    TWO DESCRIPTIONS CHECK.

  8. 신비한 공중 물체에 대한 랭킨의 설명은 워싱턴주 상공에서 처음으로 그것들을 보고했던 아이다호주 보이시(Boise, Idaho)의 사업가 케네스 아놀드(Kenneth Arnold)의 설명과 일치한다. 단, 아놀드가 그것들의 속도를 시속 1,200마일로 추정했다는 점만 제외하면 말이다. 수요일에 아스토리아(Astoria)에서도 다른 보고들이 왔다. 그곳 세인트 마리 병원(St. Mary's hospital)의 환자인 잭 헤이스(Jack Hayes)는 월요일에 빠른 속도로 북서쪽으로 날아가는 두 개의 디스크를 보았으며 그것들이 언덕 뒤로 사라졌다고 말했다. 포트 스티븐스(Fort Stevens)의 칼 리드(Karl Reade) 부인은 화요일 정오에 포트 스티븐스 상공을 북쪽으로 이동하는 디스크를 보았고, 다른 목격자들도 같은 물체를 보았다고 말했다. 포트 스티븐스의 육군과 인근 포인트 아담스(Point Adams)의 해안 경비대는 그 디스크들을 보지 못했다. 수요일에 접수된 워싱턴주 센트레일리아(Centralia, Wash.)에 사는 한 남성의 보고는 아놀드가 한 원래의 보고와 시간상으로 일치했다. 센트레일리아의 시드니 B. 갤러거(Sidney B. Gallagher)는 6월 24일 오후 3시에 알루미늄 색조의 물체 9개가 북쪽으로 날아가는 것을 보았다고 말했다. 그는 당시 워싱턴주 미네랄(Mineral, Wash.)에서 남서쪽으로 11마일 떨어진 곳에서 일하고 있었다.

    Rankin's description of the mysterious aerial objects agrees with that of Kenneth Arnold, Boise, Idaho, business man, who first reported them over the State of Washington, except that Arnold clocked them at an estima- ted 1200 miles an hour. Other reports came Wednesday from Astoria. Jack Hayes, patient in St. Mary's hospital there, said he saw two of the discs Monday flying north- west at a rapid speed and that they vanished behind the hills. Mrs. Karl Reade, Fort Stevens, said she saw a disc traveling north over Fort Stevens Tuesday noon, and that other observers saw the same object. The army at Fort Stevens and the coast guard at nearby Point Adams did not see the discs. The report of a Centralia, Wash., man Wednesday coincided in matter of time with the original report made by Arnold. Sidney B. Gallagher of Centra- lia said he saw nine aluminum-hued objects flying north at 3 P.M. June 24. He was working 11 miles southwest of Mineral, Wash., at the time.
