A. The camera is the BESELER TOPCON single-
refl x, with a d-the-lens light meter
B. To answer this question, I will quote from my camera manual
"The standard lens is a 53 mm. focal lenght optic,
with a fast speed f/2, and has 6 elements in four groups. The
lens focuses down to a close distance of 7o cm."

I am enclosing a separate slide that was taken last year, unfort-
unatly, I can't remenber when. It is - a picture e Moon in it's
crescent phase, but a few months ago projected it under high magnif-
ication, and found in one corner, a strange bluish cylindrical object.
when I took these pictures o. the Moon through my 3-inch reflector
telescope , i had made sure that there were no aircraft around, I have
marked the corner of the slide where the UFo is located with a black
arrow.

Dear Sir:
While I was in our rear yard between 6:45 and 7:00 P.i., January 18th, I sav
an umvaual object which came from the north-northwest and secmed to be a round
light, It was blue-white in color and it seened to be as bright as and moved
at the same speed as Echo satellite.
After I rushed insids to get my camera because I thought it was Echo
satellite. From what I could figure of its probable course, it should have
passed closo to the moon as it went southeast. But when I came back out I
found that the brilliant blue lisht had disappeared. searched around the sky
with my 7 x 50 binocular. Cound the object botween the moon (hich was at
the halr then) and cong on Pegasus and noticed betweon the two that there
seemed to bo a smnll reddish star that had not been there before. I Looking at
the ob,eot through my binoculers, I saw that the object vas not a star because
the light from it did n flicker. I saw it move for a little bit along the
courss that the bright light had been following when I saw it before I had in
the house to get my camera. Then the object stopped and I verified this by
getting vithin the binooulars not only the object I was observing but a small

My Nother and friends also say an unusual object on February 3rd while going
north on Route 73, at Norristown Road about 6:l5 AM. 1 It was hovering just ahead
to work and did not soe if the object moved in any direction.

I sighted the January I8, I967 at 6:55PM,
it rose out of the North-west, it was a bright blue-white light,
rouni, and with a bluish tinge to it's edges,and I cannot state'it's
exact size, and can only say that it eem be about one-quarter
or one-half the emeter
I though it was some sattelite, that rose in the north-
west what I could make of it's
course, it seeme would pass close by the Moon, so I
went inside camera, in order to photograph what I though
would be a satellite passing by the Moon.
When I came back out however, the blue-white light had disappe-
of a second, at apertur , the slides are n 3I4, I5I6,
& I7 respectively
There is also a separate Anscochrome slide that was taken through
a three-inch astronomical telescope at about thirty power. t is a
picture of the Moon in it's crescent phase,but in one corner of the
object.

In conclusion, would you please tell me what I saw? The suspense
is killing me.

getting vithin the binoculars not only the object I was observing but a small
star and the object did not move in relation to that star. Although this objoct
was near the edge of field of vision of the binoculars it did not move out of
camera. These photos were taken while the object was stationary. I used a shuttor

appreciate any information and assistance you can provide. I will await your roply.

You may be interested in seeing the photographs which I took of the object I saw.
As I said before, the object came from the northwest or north-northwest, to the
bast of my knowledge. Willow Grove Air Station is northvest of Lafayette Hill
and Msguire Air Force Base is not too distant.
