Lt Colonel, USAF Chief, Civil Branch Community elations Division Office of Information Plum City, Wisconsin PAGE I OF l PAGES PHOTO ANALYSIS REPORT DATE OF REPORT SUBJECT UNIDENTIFIED FLYING OBJECT LOCATION MnrnEAPOLIS, MINNESOTA DATE 20 OCTOBER 1966 PHOTOGRAPHY p NRS 1 Print {B &. W) 1. PURPOSE: This r eport is in response to \olork Order Number 67-37 submitted by Major Quintanilla (TDETR), to determine the identity of the object photographed. 2. ANALYSIS: The photography appears genuine insofar as content is concerned. No satisfactory explanation could be made of the unidentified object. Examination of the submitted print has negated'retouching. Attempts to ma.l(e a double exposure could not be defined. Source stated the object was photographed with a Polaroid camera, yet two smrul black dots appear on the frame border indicating that autc~atic machine processing was used to develop the print. As a result, it is impossible to determine whether the print was made from an original Polaroid or other type negative. The camera focal length is therefore and a scaling factor to si ze the object was precluded. The object appears to be circular in planform and basically flat in cross-section. A small degree of highlighting i s visible along t he top center of the object. The unidentified object is possibly a result of an attempt at photographing a general outdoor scene from indoors through a window, and recording the reflection of a light source (i.e. an illuminated floor lamp or other type of shaded interior light). Source stated that the object t..as about 25 feet in diameter; but if the object is a r eflection of an interior light, the dia.~eter is likely not t o exceed one or two feet.
