The next afternoon Lieutenant Kerry Rothstien, who had replaced Lieutenant Metscher on the project, was on his way to New York to meet the pilots when they returned from Puerto Rico. When Kerry talked to the two pilots, they couldn't add a great deal to their original story.
Most of us were putting in fourteen hours a day, six days a week. It wasn't at all uncommon for Lieutenant Andy Flues, Bob Olsson, or Kerry Rothstien, my investigators, to get their sleep on an airliner going out or coming back from an investigation. TWA airliners out of Dayton were more like home than home. But we hadn't seen anything yet.
Their final comment was the one we all had heard so many times, "I always thought these people who reported flying saucers were crazy, but now I don't know." When Lieutenant Rothstien returned to Dayton he triple-checked with the CAA for aircraft in the area but there were none. Could there have been airplanes in the area that CAA didn't know about? The answer was almost a flat "No."
