1. The images on the negatives were caused by light striking unexposed film, (i.e., the negatives were not retouched). 2. The individual lights in the "formation" varied in intensity. 3. The intensity was greater than any surrounding stars as the stars did not register. (The photos were taken under CAVU conditions.) 4. The individual lights changed position in the "formation." C. Reinterrogation of the Photographer The OSI was requested to reinterrogate the photographer in another attempt to determine the authenticity of the photographs. The details of this reinterrogation have not been received but a preliminary report stated that there was no indication that the photographs were not authentic. D. Future Investigations A trip to Lubbock, Texas, will be made during January Arrangements are being made to have a Project Grudge consultant and a physicist accompany Project Grudge personnel. If the photographs are authentic, they are important in that: 1. They will give an accurate measurement of the "angular span". 2. The light source, although it appeared to be of low intensity to the eye, was highly actinic. 3. The movement of the individual lights in the formation can be studied further. 4. Density comparison tests can be made. |
