1. The enclosed UFO sighting was reported to the Mill Valley Radar
Site (ADC) as the enclosed letter indicates. However, by the time

the information reached this office, it was too late for an on-the-
spot investigation.

‘ 2. This same phenomenon was seen by several other persons. Since

their reports coincide with the enclosed information, statements were

‘ not obtained,

3. The person who supplied the report and the color slide is a pro-
fessional photographer.

lL. Probable identity of this object has not been determined. As far
as can be determined, there were no weather balloons or missiles in
the area at the time of the sighting.

1. I tried to call you several tines today but wag unable to make contact,
2. So that the Air Force can better evaluate your renort of sighting an
UFO 1t will be necessary to forward the following information to,Base
Operations at Hamilton AFB, California,

a. Place, time and date of sizhting.

be Approximately how lorg the object was in sicht.

Cc, Since a camera was used it will be necessary for Base Onerations
to make duplicates of the necatives, They would arpreeiate it tf vou would
send then the film develoved or not, ard also the following information,

(1) Type camera used

(2) Type and make of lens
(3) Foeal lenzth of lens
(4) Shutter speed

(5) Peston

Dear Mr, @ihamehear

This is in reply to your observation of an
unidentified flying object on the night of 2 Novem-
| ber 1964 and the photograph taken of this object.

| The analysis and microscopic study of the 35mm
film has been completed. The area of interest was
enlarged to a power of 20 and is attached for your

use.

The conclusions of the study after photo analysis |
are as follows: (1) No true photographic image is
visible on the clip. (2) The visible image could be a

film flaw or a duplicated flaw or chip in the emulsion.

(3) The constant density from film edge to film edge

could indicate that the film was not exposed ina

camera but in the open. Also, it appears that the
photograph was taken after dark while the time of the
sighting was reported as dusk. This could indicate
that the Pilm could have been accidentally exposed

without your knowledge.

Prom the data presented in your report we ars
unable to make a positive identification of the object
you observed. The size of the object was indicated as
the size of a fifty-cent piece held at arm's length.
This indicates an object of tremendous size since the
size of the moon is less than a dime held at arm's
length. Your description and time motion sequence were
not included. There were two particular temperature
inversions in the area, one at 430 feet and the other
at 550 feet. The position of the object was given as
20 degrees elevation, 330 degrees azimuth. Disappearance
azimuth was reported. No major astronomical obdject

appeared in this location.

The following information is requested for
analysis of the visual observation: .{1) A local
map of the area and the location (direction of object
from the observer's location) including azimuth and
location of the object observed. (2) A time motion
sequence of the object's flight in relation to the
motion of your car and the direction and flight path
of the object after the car was stopped. (3) or
particular interest is the manner of disapvearance
of the object. (4) Any information pertaining to the
description of the object in changes, size, or intensity
are also desired.

We regret the delay in asking for this information
and hope that the data requested may not have been for-
gotten with the passage of time.

This is in reply to your observation of an unidentified flying |
object on the night of 2 November 1964 end the photograph taken of
this object.

The analysis and microscopic study of the 35cm film has been
completed. The area of interest was enlarged to a power of twenty

and is attached for your use.

The conclusions of the study after photo analysis are as follows:
' (1) No true photographic image is visible on the chip, (2) The |

visible image could be a film flaw or a duplicated flaw or chip in
the emilsion, (3) The constant density from film edge to film edge
could indicate that the film was not exposed in a camera, but rather
had exposed in the open. Also, it appears that the photograph was
taken after dark, while the time of the sighting was reported as

dusk. This vould tend to indicate that the film could qite likely

have been exposed without your knowledge.
From the data presented in your report we are unable to make a

positive identification of the object which you observed. The size

of the object was indicated as the size of a fifty cent piece held

at arms length. The size of the moon is less than a dime at arus
length. This indicates an object of tremendous size while the remain-
der of the description indicates a mich smaller object. The duration

~~ and time motion sequence was not included. ‘There were two particular

temperature inversions in the area, one at 480 ft and the other at

550 ft. The position of the object was given as 20 degrees elevation,
330 degrees azimith, disappearance was listed on the same heading but
no elevation or azimith vas reported. No major astronomical object
appeared in this location. ,

We had hoped that the photograph would reveal an identifiable image.
Hovevef, photo analysis revealed that the image on the print is not the
same as the object observed by you. :

The folloving information is desirable for analysis of the visual

ae observation: (1): A local map of the area anf the location (direction

of object from the observers location) including azimith and location

of the object observed, (2) A time motion sequence of the object's
flight in relation to the motion of your car and the direction and
flight path of the object after the car was stopped, (3) Of particular
interest is the mamer of disappearance of the object, (4) Any informa-
tion pertaining to the description of the object in changes, in size,

or intensity are also desired.

We regret the delay in asking for this information and hope that
some of the data requested may not have been forgotten with the passage
of time. We had expected the photograph to reveal the true nature of
