DATE 7 April 1966, 8 October and October l 66 PHOTOGRAPHY 1 . PURPOSE: This report is in reply to a request submitted by Major Quintanilla (TDETR) to determine the identity of the object photographed. ANALYSIS: Examination of referenced color slides has shown the "unidentified objects" to be a re sult of an attempt at night photography with insufficient illumination of anything except several sources of light. Although the type of light has not been determined (i. e . street lights, interior lights etc.), it was found that the image pattern and distance sepa- rating the light sources on the 8 October and 15 October 1966 frames were identical. Source stated that these were isolated or individual sightings, but the photography indicates a repetitive coverage of the exact same target or background photogr aphed from a common point. Each exposure reveals a different shape for the light sources. This is a common photographic phenomenon resulting from camera movement which is caused by too long an xposure when ~he camera is hand held. The remaining two frames of 7 April and 8 October 1966, although s~owing ~ different pattern of light sources , exhibits camer a movement also. PHOTO A.N ..
