Already Manhattan provides a direct helicopter service from atop the Pan Am building that hurdles the traffic on the way to the major airports; and it boasts a scattering of private copter pads, including one for the two-state Port Authority.

UFOs have been particularly ubiquitous in Yugoslavia, whose press has gleefully recounted a Montenegrin shepherd's report of a whistling, skyscraper-high UFO, told of UFOs streaking over the Istrian port of Koper, and detailed Truck Driver Milika Scepanović's brush with two saucers on the Kovina-Ivangrad road last week...
