PUR?OSE: This r oport .1.~ an analys l '3 of .ln ans;.rer to the attached r,,brk Order Number 65-84 from T/ '"''"' TDZH/J?O, for reproductions t,ro color slide s and two black and white 2 . A~A!.YSIS: The color ulitlc.J of l:igh\.ray 69, vicinity of Phoenix, Arizona is a copy p:-obably from a pictura ln a magazine. It bears a registration symbol i n the upper right r.and cor.:1~r of a type usucl by professional pt1otograpl;ers. The slide depicts the phenor.:ena of a desert sunset and contain3 little more than colorful and picturesque cloud formations. At tho appro:rlm.3.te midpoiut of the slide is an o::-ang e , funnel-like mass which is prob<1bly a l."i."'lo 'pattern trailing n plume of sand/earth which has been lifted from the desert floor. A sin~lc, diagonal l i n3 .l1r.medbtely belo:r th!.s mass is probably due to poor photo processing. a . The second slide, t aken in S;ntzerland, is also a copy, alt~ough in this case the origi~al source cannot be identifie d . Tho photograph is a lo~ oblique possibly aerial in for:n.a-r. a."'ld sho..rs a viO\of ot the t:rpical mountainous terr.Un of Switzerland. The definition a."'lc! co::!..o:-rendition of the slide are at best only fair. Hithin the upper portion of the photoGaph is an oblor.g-a?pearing translucent streak which is probably due to reflection from possibly a portion of the aircraft' s surface from which the photograph)~as taken. b . ~!o items of significance were observed on either slide.

T This ph o tograph, the original o f whic h is in col our, w a s s ulJmjtted t o u s by ~liss D o r a Baue r . It was t a lten b y Franz Hlaw::.. o f Vienna t owards t h e end o f July 1959. The loc::..tion was Monte R"'Osa in Switzerland and the picture was taken at a h e ight o f 3,400 metres. Nobod y in t h e part y o,;,,w the object : it a ppeared only on th e film. '' SUDOI~i':LY, ahead and about thirty cll'~lf''"' Ill the left, there were bright no\shes in SI'Vf'ral phccs, like the dazzle of a h elio- graph, I s.1w a dull grey-white air.ship wming towards me. It sec:ml'd impos.siiJle, but J coultl have: sworn that it was an air.ship, nosing tOwards me like an oblong pearl. Except for a cloud o r 1 wo, there wa.~ nothing <'"\' in the sky. I lut'lkt"d around, sometimes c.uching a Oash <r a glint, and luming :tgain to look a t the :tir.ship I fuund that it load disappt"ared. I screwed up my eye:s, unable to believe them, and tw isted the seaplane this way and that, thinking that the ainhip must be hidden by a b lind spot. Dazzling Oashet continued in four or lh : llolli:rent placet, but I still could not pick out any planc:s. Then, out o f some clouds to my rigl11 front, I saw a nother, or the same, air.chip advancing. I watched it intently, cll"tennined not to look away for a fraction of a second: I'd see what happened to this one, if I h ad to chase it. h drew steadily closer, u ntil p,.rhaps a mile away, when suddenly it vanished. Then it reappeared, clo~e to where it had vanished: I watched with angry intl'ntness. It d rew closer, and I could sec the dull gleAm of light on its nose nnd back. It came on, hut ins tend o f in c reasing in size, it diminished :u it approached. \Vhen quite ncar it sudrlenly bl"came its own ghost-one second I could S!'t' throu~h it, a nd the next it had vani.hed.
