Dear Mr.
Inclosed are the photographs which you brought
over to us and asked to have analyzed.
Our Project Blue Book Office at Wright-
Patterson Air Force Base has analyzed the set of
photos and determined that the object photographed
is estimated to be 20 inches in diameter and 7 inches
high. Their analysis is based on the following:
Photograph #7 shows the UFO at close nge with a
leafless branch on the left side f the , passing
behind the ob.ject. Two twigs from this branch are
readily visible the right side the object and in
good alignment the main branch. It does not seem
possible that th twigs are from th ne tree on the
right which is further away. Therefore object
is between the branch and 1s between the branch and the the camera. Accordingly, camera. Accordingly,
it was possible to measure the size of 1t was possible to measure the size of the object. he object.
If humanoids were inside of this alleged Flying

1. PURPOSE: This report answers WO #64-72 from Major Quintanilla (TDEw) to determine if an
Unidentified Flying Object is a hoax, and the size of the object.
2. ANALYSIS:
a. All p photographs have a sky background with an unobstructed view of the object. It
seems unlikely that anyone photographing a UFO from several angles would have all good clear
unobstructed photographs of the object.
Photograph #7 shows the UFO at close range with a leafless branch, on t the left side
