Memo for the Record:
10 Jan 67
Call was received from Major Nyls, Selfridge AFB, Michagan (ex-3ll5)
in regards to a UFO sighting over Lake St. Clair. He said that
chotos were taken of the object by two men as they were out in their
beck yard.
hovered before speeding away. He said that he would sent copies
of the pictures as soon as he could whth camera data. Major Nyls
said that he had contacted SAFoI and told them of the sighting.
The sighting should have a lot of public interest.

There was ice on ti lake which ruled out possibility of the
object being a boat some kind. Major Nyls looked for a boat
but did not see any The familys back yard looke e a junk yard.
Major Nyls looked around the yard for something similar to the object

which would corresoond to that taken by the ohservers, and to
obtain additional information. Particularlyhe was asked to make
measurements of the distance between the camera and the pipes and
tree branches. He said that he would sent the photos right away.
Major Nyls called and said that the photos should arrive at WP AFB Major Nyls called and said that the photos should arrive at WP AFB
by T-33 aircraft at approximately l$oo hours. He said that he t thought
that the photo nld have been faked by hanging something from the
pipe that appear the pictures. He would try to obtain the
original pictures our use.
12 Jan 67
Major Nyls called to say that he would try to obtaun the original
piotures. that they
took all the pictures before the helicopter was seen, but according
to the numbers on the pictures the helicopter was seen before the last
picture. Major Nyls also said that he had noticed a coarser texture
of the grain on the helicppter picture. The helicopter was suppose
to be closer and higher than the alleged object.

(
Memo for the Record: 26 Jan 67
Major Nyles called from Solfridge AFB in regards to the lit. Clemens,
Michigan photosgraph of 9 Jan 67. Major Nyls was convinced that this
was a hoax. He said that the young boys clamly took pictures of a
UFO and a helicopter pictures clearly indicate that the hel-
icopter picture was taken f the pictures of the UFO.
The numbering scheme on the ndicate this fact to be true.
The boys said that they saw the helicopter five minutes after the
UFO had left. The boys have becn caught in a direct lie. He
said thd from his calculations picture number 5 was taken from a
kneeling position. The camera was definitly lower in picture 5
than the rest. The object in picture 5 is higher in relation to
the tree branches than the other pictures. If the object was
suspended from the pipe it would have been higher in the kneeling
position. bosition.

MEMO FOR THE RECORD: 17 April 67
Conversation with Major Nyls revealed that he made the model
with about 4 inch diameter bajsal wood. The top and bottom
were painted a light gray while the band around the middle
was a darker gray. Four pound test minofilament fishing line
was used to support the modcl. He built the model as close as
he could to the actual photograph's ableged UFo.
