Dewey T. Wilson theorized that flying saucers are electrical currents applied to space or small clouds causing them to glow, with magnetic polarity preventing interception, and suggested silencing all TV and radio broadcasts to test this hypothesis.

“It is my opinion that Flying Saucers are Electrically induced currents onto a space (small clouds) and causing it to glow-this cloud being charged Electrically and a magnetic polarity being same as the interceptor it can never be overtaken.”
