Dear
Please excuse the delay in replying to your letter of 25 April l966.
Your photo camera data was sent to photo analyst personnel, here
at Wright-Patterson AFB. Their only comments were that there was
IT no discernible object that could be identified on the photograph and
that the light colored areas on the photograph could have been caused
by sun flare.
Since you stated in your letter that we may keep the photo, we are
placing it in the case files with your report. Thank you for reporting
your observation to the Air Force.
Sincerely,
