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." (*) 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 the Utah Film as "Secret".  A few years ago I did a telephone interview with Newhouse and he stuck to his story throughout.  Also noted by the analysts was the absence of any evidence to indicate birds such as fluttering. Air Force & Navy analysis: "Birds and balloons immediately eliminated, within a five mile radius, aircraft could have easily been determined. In excess of five miles the objects were moving faster than aircraft could achieve, except in straightline speed runs." At the very least this was a good daylight sighting 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. Also included are the Blue Book documents found in the Project Blue Book Archives.
