EXCLUSIVE TRC STUDIES AMAZING COLOR PHOTO OF UFO: .. TRC is now examining one of the most conclusive UFO .Lotographo ever taken I It is not photo;,raphic detail which ntakes It, oland out from other authentic pictures. It is the fdcl that the IJFO involved i~ "hown on A ('olor Kodachro:ne slide. ll~ The photographer was lalkin'l with his parents at approxi ii.iltely 9:30 p.m. in !ate August, 1955. He had his Kodak Pony camera Model 8, 35 mm, Wtlli liim. Siiddenly, approaching from the oouth, they all saw a brilliant glowing object. It moved toward the north and followed a horizontal trajectory. At ito nearest point to the observers, the photographer took the picture. Since the object was not too large in the sky, it was generally agreed that the film probably would show nothing. However. when the slide was returned from the proceosing laboratory, a re- markable reproduction of the object was present. The object was just a blue-white dot when it was observed wirh the naked eye. The trail behind it was a deep blup color. When observed with a mag- nifying gla .. the object takeo on a definite disc-shape with a our- rounding blue glow f The disc involved io certainly not a light from any airborne object. The observers heard or saw nothing except the brilliant light in the sky. After studying the photo for a period of time, it is realized that the only possible known object that could account for auch an imago is a meteor. However, meteors usually bum out in full view of the observer, but thio object didn't. Also, meteors follow curved lrajectorieo
