COLORADO SPRINGS. (P) --If the Soviet Union has sent aerial spies over the Continental United States or Alaska. the North American Air Defense Command says it has no knowledge or report of it.
A Norad spokesman made the comment yesterday in response to calls prompted by the downing of what Soviet leaders say was an American-built jet on an intelligence flight.
Radar frequently picks up the Russian planes in the area of the Bering Straits between Alaska and the Russian mainland, a command spokesman said, and added:
"Occasionally, while turning, these plane will fly over our territory. But we do not consider this a hostile act."
