REPORT OF INTERVIEW WITH MR.

On 31 January 1953 Mr. and Mrs. called at my home to pick up the Cam film which they had loaned this office. We had finished duplication of the film at a local color film lab and the original Cam film was returned to Mr.

I examined his camera, an Cam Keystone Capri K23 1 1/2" F3.5 telephoto lens Tiffen Photar 85 series 21.5mm.

The film used was Kodachrome Indoor Type A shot outdoors with a type-A filter. The distance setting was on infinity and shot at 16 frames per second.

I asked Mr. the following questions:

Q. What is your estimate of the a…

This case contains 1 roll of film and 1 8"x10" photo.

Q. What was the direction of flight?
A. The first pass sighted by the children came from the West and went in an easterly direction.

Q. Were they in any sort of formation?
A. Yes, a very close or tight formation in a 3/4 circular formation.

Q. At what speed, compared to a light plane passing over?
A. About the same speed, maybe a little slower.

Q. What direction was the second pass?
A. They came from the East heading West in an enlarged formation, split into pairs, with the point of the V formation to the right side of the formation.

Q. What was the speed of this pass?
A. About the same as…

Q. Would you say they were as big in circumference as a circle including the wing tips and tail to more section of a light airplane?

A. Yes, about that size.

Q. Were they all the same size?

A. Yes.

Q. What shape?

A. They were circular, and relatively flat.

Q. What color?

A. Sort of white-blue-green glowing objects.

Q. What do you think they were?

A. I don't know, but they were certainly not balloons or airplanes like any I had seen before.

(This concluded the main portion of the interview. Mr. [illegible] is in the process of moving to a new business in northern California. Any futur…
