that the camera focusowas s set for a very short range as evidencedby
the high degree of detail in a fragment relatively close object

along its lower edge
as well. The "UFO" appears to be spherical rather than oblong as
reported. It also appears to be in motion.and there is no suggestion
of "panning" the object as is evidence by the sharpness of detail in
the foreground object. The identity of the "uFo" is not known but
its size is likely to be between that of a "ping-pong" ball and a
tennis ball. There is no evidence in the photography that the "UFo"
is extraterrestrial.
