Mr._ & 1 stated he was hesitant to tell anyone about what he saw and heard until he read in the paper about the flying objects as reportedly seen by a group of people in Michigan last week. We were laying back on the bed watching the late show about 1 A.M.-We heard this noise coming from above. The brightness of the lights lit up the whole apartment so fast. Nothing struck our apartment, but object continued to hover just above our window. The flashing lights were white and smokey, lots of smoke I would say.-Not a howl. more like 'yen. yen! yen. A different repeating sound from whirling helicopter, and all the time just above our window. It was blinking the brightest ligtts, white smokey color. My wife and I both jumped up to look out. So much smoke all around object and flashing lights. I pulled on my pants and when I got do the steps the outside air was still full of smoke; Object seemed to have gone straight up. Would guess the object was about five feet across and enveloped in smoke.

Photo analysis has been accoarpllshed on the attached photographs. ~ poaitive identification or description of' the UPO is not possible with tbe photographic 1.ni"ormation available and 'W1 thout the original negatives. Hovever, there are several comments which may prove relevant to the analysis. a . The image does not appear to be the result of' any processing b. It appears that the shutter speed used was considerably longer t han the stated t second. The distance covered by the vehicles during the ~e of exposure as indicated by their light tracks is much too high to have occurred in ~ second. In fact, a speed far in excess of 100 =tph 'WOuld be indica. "ted by a -k second exposure time. Speed calcula- tions for the vehicles vere made using an average distance of 80 feet between light poles. Ra.d more exposures been available and had the i.;nage been more clearly defined, a broad approximation of rate of move- ment could probably have been derived. c. It is noted that there is no reflection of the bright ~ge on the water although it was stated to be only 20 feet above the water. The reflections of the street lights are quite evident. It is possible that some obstruction in the :foreground could have blocked the view of a reflection from the image. d. No measurements are possible due to the halation of the bright 2 . ~ there is no indication of threat to the security o the United 3'tates, it is felt that additional investigation into these pbotog=apbs of alleged UFOs is not in the best interest of Department of Def~ funds.
