Group /Category 8 Photographic Evidence, Motion Pictures & Videos

Francis Ridge:
Although considered highly controversial by many, these films were taken seriously by both the U.S. Air Force and the Navy. Some of the things not considered  by skeptics are the credibility of the witness, the effects of image reduction, and forgotten testimony. First of all, no photo or film is any better than the reporting witness. The Air Force and the Navy were convinced enough about Newhouse's credibility to spend considerable time and money on the analyses and to classify this film as "Secret".  Secondly, image reduction is a factor to be dealt with here. What the human eye sees is always better than what the camera records, even by a professional-grade 16 mm Bell & Howell. And what Newhouse and his wife saw BEFORE he was able to get the camera out and running, reportedly, were structured objects, described as "gunmetal-colored objects shaped like two saucers, one inverted on top of the other." Also noted by the analysts was the absence of any evidence to indicate birds such as fluttering.

A good daylight report with two witnesses (one very reputable) and good motion picture footage that neither the Air Force, nor the Navy, and others, could logically explain. And, surprisingly, an FBI document illustrates the importance of this incident. Recently added are the Blue Book documents found in the Project Blue Book Archives.
