Inspired by wild discrepancies in reports of earlier UFO sightings, Science Students Terry Warren, James Gould and Douglas Eardley decided to perform a complex "gullibility experiment." Working secretly in a steam tunnel under the Caltech campus, they rigged balloons out of polyethylene sheeting and filled them with an inert gas-probably helium. From the bottom of the balloons they suspended metal rods, each with fins and a railroad flare fastened to its lower...
