Editing 1947 flying disc craze (section)

====Hoaxed discs recovered in Hollywood and Detroit====
On July 10, it was reported that Russell Long of North Hollywood had discovered a 30-inch diameter disc which allegedly struck his house and came to rest in his flower garden.  The disc, still smoking, prompted a call to the fire department; firemen reported an "acrid, chemical smell".  The device was described as having exhaust pipes, a fin and rudder.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.newspapers.com/image/265266336/|title=10 Jul 1947, 3 - The Press Democrat at Newspapers.com|website=Newspapers.com}}</ref> The local fire battalion chief told press that "It looks like someone went to a great deal of trouble for a joke."<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.newspapers.com/image/10339753/|title=10 Jul 1947, Page 10 - The Chronicle-Telegram at Newspapers.com|website=Newspapers.com}}</ref>  The disc featured a glass radio tube.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.newspapers.com/image/681669028/|title=10 Jul 1947, 2 - The Lexington Herald at Newspapers.com|website=Newspapers.com}}</ref>  Local FBI chief Richard B.
