are the results of his attemots to photograph the moon.
The interviewer states that the camera had a focal lengtn
of apnroximately 4 to 6 inches. The 3/4 inch diameter
imare appearing on the negative could not be that of the
moon unless it was taken with a lens of apnroximately
6.6 foot focal Len. wth. There could be many posoible
exmlanationg for this imaro. For examole it might ba
explained as a view of a back-lighted eireular opening.

2. The random traces appearing on all of the negatives
probably were caused by a smali concentrated light-source
highly refhecti object) moving about in
relation to the lens and in The field of view.
