STEINAU called attention to the fact that the dot appear-
ing in the picture which was tanned a ''flying saucer" by HIXENBAUGH
appears in sharp detail. This, according to STEINAU, would indicate
that the disk was closer to the camera then either the trees or air-
plane. ~lthough the pictures were taken at 64 frames per second,
vrhich is calculated, according to STEINf.U, to produce slow motion
action, the airplane appears in only the first ff!W frames of the
negative and then disuppears.
The
11 saucer" appears stationary dur-
ing most of the frames but ~ventuRlly appears to be growing smaller
in the distance.
STEINAU says he does not know hov, HIXENBAUGH performed the "trick
photography" but suggests that it could be done easily by focusing
the camera at a spot on a window and then moving the camera in a
straight line away from the window, thus giving the illusion that
the spot was disappearing into the distance.
For the further information of tho Bureau it should be noted that the
photographic department of the Courier-Journal and The Louisville Times,
under the direction of 1HLLHJ, DA VIS, furnishes staff photographs
for both the Courier-Journal and the Louisville Times, which newspapers
are operated under one ownership.
The above is furnished for the Bureau's information.
