AlGrir: Op November 14, 19% NMirs. Ethel OQuleman of Lebanon, Ohio op-

erating am Lastinan 39 tom. Pony, a two elemert iens camera, equipped with
infra-red and ed filter was shooting for pictures of Mercury in eclipse of the
sur The carrera was mounted on a tripod, and she attests, ‘was not moved

A traction.’ Wossing [2 second exposures, she saw nothing unusual in her field
of vision vetore or during the 10 minute time lapse between pictures.

When the filin was returned from the developers she couldn't find Mercury, but
Was puggied to see a srmall round milk-ylass object, hke a''moon", which ap-
peared troonty two frames of the roll. [n one picture the object appeared at
about 3 ofclock in position to the sun's ylare; in the other, it descended vertic-
ally aloul 10 degrees, hovering in front of a cluster of winter-bared trees.

The meon is the same s:ze in both frames and of the same brilliance as the
sun. The negatives verily this, showing an intense black object about a foot

in diameter. sy this evidence the object is not a result of an emulsion fluid
Gropiet or air bubbles in careless developrnent.

Research by Mir. bleroert Clark,checked out Newton Rings. The Lebanon''moons"
were dissumilar to the optreamrs $ign and symmetry found in Newton phenomena.

Another film analyst, Mr. Ken Hock, said the objects were probably reflections
from «ne sun, then advised that the film be sent to Eastman J.ab in Rochester
for iusther analysis. However, a member of Eastrnan Office, Cincinnati, Herb
Clack and myself doubted Hock's "sundog" explanation. Clark argued that
infra red tilm and read tilter would have elirninated the sun's glare. Support-
ing Clark's theory is the remaining frames of film which show the sun but no

"moons."

THE HYPOTHESIS OF THE INVISIBLE "THINKING" LICHT: If the object
cannot be resolved as a lenticular phenomenon, and, with all other avenues
to solution theoretically closed, only ore feasible explanation remains; the

object 1s a material, but non metal device, spherical tn shape and operates

under remote control.

Considering the later anomaly, analysis shows that the object's non-metal
substance 13 translucent. The proof is in the picture which shows the object
"lodging" in the trees. Within the sphere's outline 15s revealed the hazy sii-
houstte of a fork tn the tree directly opposite. Thus, it controlled, the de-

vice 13 disembodied .- a machine without a power plant!

fividence and logic do not provide the answer. If, as Mrs. Coleman says, the
object was not seen in her freid of vision, and, as the evidence suggests, the
ohject does exist and 13 rendered 'visibie" only through infra red film, then

perhaos the sphere is meiamerphesichl. 7 :
