This might be a picture of flying saucers taken at night over Arizona or New Mexico. It was in fact taken in Dr. Menzel's laboratory at Harvard University.

These are the Lubbock Lights, as photographed Aug. 30, 1951, over Lubbock, Texas, by 18-year-old Carl Hart, Jr.

Routine sight at Brooks: a show girl hurrying off to try on her next new costume.

In normal air, light from the ground simply spreads out into space. Outside its range, where the earth curves away, there is darkness and no strange phenomena.

With a temperature inversion, light bends in refracting layer of air. A ray of light will thus be seen in areas far distant from its source. Labels show WARM AIR, REFRACTING AIR LAYER, COLD SURFACE.

ANGLE OF VISION - Desert scene showing light rays and silhouettes

ANGLE OF VISION - City skyline showing light rays

These "lights" were one of many sets of "saucers" made by Dr. Menzel in his laboratory. Note the "mother ship."

Photographed by Arthur Rothstein - Dr. Menzel begins setting up his apparatus, using a large glass jar, benzene and acetone.

Acetone floating on benzene simulates air levels; lens effect distorts Dr. Menzel's face.

A glass rod seems to bend as it passes from one liquid to other. Light bends in this way. A light shining through the liquids bends at the meeting point. Same is true in air layers.
