BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING In report given to FBI, source stated that as part of her photography course, she fixed a camera on the ground to get a "time-exposure" of the moon. Camera was left "open" for 10-20 minutes, then shutter closed. Upon development of the film a saucer-like object was found over a tree in the prints. Source claims she has no knowledge how the object appeared in the film. 11. COMMENTS Enlargements and different density repros of the prints indicate that there was a "break" in the exposure. The position of the moon and its track, which was shifted to a 45° angle from the original track, was the clue. Apparently a partial track of the moon was made; the shutter closed, and a light fixture in a dark ceiling (indoors) was photographed; and an attempt to return the camera to its original position was made. Evidence of "dodging" and "burning in" of the photography in question is also evident. ATIC FORM 329 (REV 25 SEP 52)
