1. 1. Analysis of the of the movie film reveals nothing of an umusual nature. movie film reveals nothing of an umusual nature.
The film was poorly exposed and the panning was such that it is film was poorly exposed ar panning g was such that it is
plausable to assume that a child was taking the pictures. There
was also an indication of a light leak certain portions of the
film. The Air Intelligence Information R eport was of no value as
there was nothing in the film which resembled the
objects mentioned in the report.
2. The 35MM transparency was probably exposed inside of a building
and through a glass window. The object in question is probably a
reflection on the window from a light hanging from the ceiling.
The inside of the shade creates an elliptical shape and the strong
white area in the top central portion is the light bulb which also
gives off ation creating the the top of this reflec-
tion.
