1.Reference your recent observation and subsequent photograph
of an unidentified flying object. The negative was submitted to
Wright-Patterson Air Force Base photo experts for analysis.
Examination revealed a lack of image definition which precluded
positive identification of the object. A reliable sensitometric
examination could not be made because the negative provided:was a
copy negative,.therefore, it does not contain the granular structure
of the original. The evidence presented is actually insufficient
in terms of detemining the exact stimulus.

nearest AFB. Each base has its own UFO investigator and such

your photograph which you submitted to our office for analysis.
I regret the delay; however, at times a backlog does occur. We
do not have our own photography experts but must depend on another
section here at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base. Your negative
has been submitted to the photo analysts and we should be hearing
from them in a couple of weeks. We will then return your negative
with our analysis.
