1. PURPOSE: This report is in answer to Work Order Number 65-8) from T/Sgt D. N. Moody,
TDEW/UFO, for an analysis of the attached two color slides and two black and white photo

reproductions thereof.

2. ANALYSIS: The color slide of Highway 69, vicinity of Phoenix, Arizona is a copy

‘probably from a picture in a magazine. It bears a registration symbol in the upper right

' hand corner of a type used by professional photographers. The slide depicts the phenomena
of a desert sunset and contains little more than colorful and picturesque cloud formations.

_ At the approximate midpoint of the slide is an orange, funnel-like mass wnich is probably

a wind ‘pattern trailing a plume of sand/earth which has been lifted from the desert floor.

A single, diagonal line immediately below this mass is probably due to poor photo processing.

format and shows a view of the typical mountainous terrain of Switzerland. The definition ~
and color rendition of the slide are at best only fair. Within the upper portion of the
photograph is an oblong-appearing translucent streak which is probably due to reflection
from possibly a portion of the aircraft's surface from which the photographywas taken.
