Interpretation of Movies of Unidentifiea Objects; progress
report on
A preliminary detailed studi of the Utah film was made and it was
decided that:
a.
Brightly colored spots <;rf red and green lasting only one or
tvo frames were not to be considered.
b-
Water spots could be detected easily and eliminated from the
study.
c. The color of the objects was fairly constant as blue-white.
d.
Size and luminosity of an object varied through-out the film.
For convenience in interpretation, the film was divided into three
parts, each part being considered an entity. Part I consisted of the
footage taken at f8; Part II, the footage taken at fl6 with a panning
motion; and Part III, the footage taken at fl6 during which the camera
was held steady.
Three det'inite groups of l i ghts were observed through­
out the film and plots were recorded as foll ows:
