MYSTERIOUS AEROPLANE
PROVES HALLUCINATION
___
MISSOULA, Mont., Dec. 11.—Mon
tana residents who have been report
ing a mysterious airplane flying about
the country at night are wondering if
they really did see a machine, or the
victims of a hallucination. Dr. F. C.
Smith, professor of psychology at the
University of Montana here, is res
ponsible for raising the doubts
“If a person really believes he sees
a thing that doesn't exist he is the
victim of a hallucination,’’ was Dr
Smith’s explanation of the “airplane
scare. ’ “It la the power of sugges
tion, and it is brought on by the war
and the martial thoughts that are up
permost in the minds of the American
people.”
