on gour evaluation,which
you seamed to have ignored totally.I will repeat my rebuttal:
l.Point"e" of your evaluation says that it is a
multiple exposure
both color and black & white, have this.it is the two nei ghboring negatives
that overlap on a negative strip, which is whet my negative was a part of.
2.Point "e" of your evaluation says that a definite
cone shape exists on the top, thot shouldn't be tiere.The only ploto where a cane
the top of the
negative being in the picture! eing in the picture!
5.Point "a" of your evaluation says 5.Point "g" of your evaluation says that it is an
unproccesed spot on the negative. If it is, then why would I have taken a picture unproccesed spot on the negative. If it is, then why would I have taken a picture
of the enpty sky?Would I have known that a technician in the developing labs
would goof on that particuler picture?Also, in point "a", you said it was a mult-
ple exposure, and now you sdy that it is a proccesing defect.Well, which is it?
Or is it e multiple exposure of a pro cesing defeet?

subsequent photographs which you made on February 17, l967, the
Aerial Phenomena Branch at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio,
submitted your negative to photographi experts analysis.
The results are as follows:

multiple expesure. This is evidenced by the multiple frame
outlines on both the right - and lef
b. The size of the image relative to the frame size indicates
the "object" was either very large or very close. Since no camera-
