1. PURPOSE: This report is in response to Work Order Number 66-56 from Major H. Quintanilla,
TDEW/UFO, whO asked for an analysis of a negative and print depicting an Unidentified Fiying
Object.
2. ANALYsIs: This analysis was completed jointly by the' Photo Analysis and Photo Processing
Divisions. The image on the 'n s probably not from an object on the water or between
the water and the camera. In fact, the imege does not appear to be that of any defined object.
The image could have been caused by refracted light from a small water droplet on the lens,
water condensation on the film, or an internal camera reflection. A water droplet on the lens
appears to be the most reasonable explanation of the image.
