Initial data
London, England, TIMES, January 17, 1966, p. 10.
Recently, unidentified objects in the sky have been observed. Many observations of objects that cannot be called satellites have been reported.
The British branch of International Sky Scouts, a youth organization created in about eight months to develop an interest in astronomy and train sky observers, works in small groups in various parts of the country.
They are especially looking for cigar or gold spherical objects. The surveillance will continue whenever the scouts have time.
In December, there were four observations: on December 5 at 22:00 over Enfield; on December 10 at 21:00 there; on December 19 at 17:00 over Epping; December 27 at 5: 30 over the Hamptons.
INCREASED ACTIVITY
There was an increase in the number of objects when the Americans or Russians launched satellites. Scouts are always aware of the position of known satellites and, if possible, track them. They need this information to distinguish satellites from mysterious objects.
Some objects appeared several times in different parts of the sky. One spherical object has been nicknamed "Tinkerbell" because it does not seem to follow any normal orbital pattern, but seems to be randomly moving and hovering.
When the Scouts are not watching the sky, they study astronomy, discuss photos of unexplained objects and study electromagnetism. It seems that the mysterious objects have strong electromagnetic properties. According to the Scouts, the animals get excited when they are nearby, and the engines of the cars are known to have been stopped.
Mr. Brinsley Le Poer Trench, Chairman of the International Committee of International Scouts, organized the international "Flying Saucer Observation Day" on June 24, on the anniversary of the discovery of flying saucers in 1947, which initiated rumors about the existence of visitors from space. . On this day, observers from the United Kingdom, Canada, the United States, Austria, East and west Germany, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Argentina and Venezuela will observe in the sky.

SKIES WATCHED FOR SPACE OBJECTS
FROM A STAFF REPORTER
Watch has been kept recently for unidentified objects in the sky. Many sightings have been reported of objects which cannot be explained as satellites.
The British branch of the International Sky Scouts, a youth organization formed about eight month sago to foster interest in astronomy and train sky observers, have been operating in small groups in various parts of the country.
They are looking particularly for cigar-shaped or golden spherical objects. The watch will continue whenever the scouts have the time.
There were four sightings in December: on December 5 at 10 p.m. over Enfield; on December 10 at 9 p.m. in the same area; on December 19 at 5 p.m. over Epping; on December 27 at 5:30 a.m. over Hampton.
INCREASED ACTIVITY
An increase in objects has been reported at times when the Americans or Russians have launched satellites. The Sky Scouts keep themselves up to date on the position of known satellites and track them when possible. They need this information to distinguish the satellites from the mysterious objects.
Some of the objects have appeared on several occasions in different parts of the sky. One spherical object has been nicknamed :Tinkerbelle" because it does not seem to follow any normal orbital pattern but appears to move around haphazardly and hover.
When the Sky Scouts are not observing the skies they study astronomy, discuss photographs of unexplained objects, and learn about electro-magnetism. The mysterious objects apparently seem to possess strong electro-magnetic properties. According to the Sky Scouts animals get excited when they are about and car engines are known to have been stopped.
Mr. Brinsley Le Poer Trench, chairman of the International Committee of the International Sky Scouts, has arranged an international "flying saucer spotting day" on June 24, the anniversary of the sighting in 1947 which started speculation about the existence of visitors from outer space. On that day observers from Britain, Canada, the United States, Austria, east and west Germany, Sweden, Spain, Portugal, Argentina and Venezuela will be keeping watch on the skies.
