1. PURPOSE: This report answers Work Order 67-78 submitted by Major Quintanilla (TDETR)
requesting an analysis of ubmitted photograph and negative to determine the identity of
the object graphed.
2. ANALYSIS: The submitted photography appears genuine far as content is concerned;
i.e. there is no indication of double exosure retouching on eith negative or the
resultant paper print. The condition of the negative is poor, havi many scratches, finger
prints etc. which rendered a comprehensive analysis virtually impossible. Although no
definite configuration could be alluded to the imagery, the possibility exists that it was
a result of static electricity having occurred prior to processing.
