The film had been exposed and processed, however, no imagery could be identi- fied. This could have been due to improper exposure setting, or due to an over extension of the capability of the camera. film was badly scarred, hov1ever, there did not appear to be any imagery loss due to this f actor. 29 March 1966, received telephone call from Jack Grohne 620 Londerry, Findley, Ohio and spoie with Airman Elmer. Mr Grohne took photos of an objec t he o bserved this morning at 450 am. Observed object in the eastern portion of town, about 1 mil e from him. He ~ited till it got in distance where he could get a phone. It came out completely black (film) no light whatsoever. Object was hovering and went back and forth and oscillating until 620 am it was 100 feet off the ground. Object seemed to go straight up. if we could have the film and analyze it. Informed him that we would return it upon completion of analysis and we would also send him a form to fill out.
