You can't see them on the film?

No. The ones we had out there at Grand Turk I couldn't very--we had to many scratches and spots on those pictures that I couldn't really pinpoint them. But when we get hold of the original pictures and can project those, I hope that we can see more, I think don't know. Those reproductions we had out there were not very satisfactory. I hope the originals are better than that. Did you see the originals? Are they clear?

I saw prints which I think __ started to develop. They seem fairly clear.

Did you see any of these spots on them? Did you have the film? Did you look at the film?

I did not look at the film directly. But it not the sort of picture __ you had in Grand Turk. You had a really good clear print that same day.

That's right. And the way they looked they were pretty __. They weren't the best job I ever saw. I'm afraid __ I don't know wait to tell you except that. I wish I could be more helpful. All I can say is we observed it and it was very clear and distinct. It wasn't a reflection from anything. It was very positive. We observed it a long period of time on three different orbits at exactly the same spot. Beyond that, I have not foggiest the same idea what it is.

We they all the same color?

Yes. I Very even colored except that some of them vould look a little larger than others, a little brighter than others. The color was identikat identical.
