lQ.
a.
There is no recurring pattern in the relative position
of the objects in formation. It appears however, as if the shU't
in relative positions vere regular and that the original formation
would be recovered 11' the continuing action h&s been recorded.
b.
No.
However, the same -formation is maintained with
objects changing positions.
c.
No detection of relative positions being maintained
coincidental with movement about their axis.
d.
No detection of undulating motion o:f objects in phase
either i n :formation or tumbling motion.
e.
There is evidence of abrupt changes in direction of
flight path through fairly large angles.
f. Certain objects do appear to rems.in motion.less while
other move about .
g. Certain objects disappear while still vell within the
fie.ld or view.
This is discussed in sub-paragraph 6 above.
4.
Discussion.
During the study and investigation of the unidentified. objects,
the preliminary data uncovered were revealed to experts (with proper
security clearance) in the f'iel.ds of astronomy and physics.
Although
they presented certain natural phenomena theories to explain the
cause of the objects under certain conditions they were not able to
do so under the conditions during which the photography was taken,
nor were they able to recognize these objects as man-made.
As to the results of the investigations being reported, no
attempt was ma.de tooorroborate the ppiilions presented.
Because of
the lack of proper equipment, money and personnel, the investigation
was limited.
There are obvious tests which can be conducted to prove
or disprove some o-r the findings presented. It is suggested that these
be undertaken.
5.
Ref'erence (d) requests spectrophotometric analysis of the Utah
film be made.
Preliminary plan of test is underway .
