d• Objects in the Great Falls case vrere believed to have
probably been aircraft, and the bright lights such reflections•
e. There was no valid reason for the attempt to relate theobjects
in the Tremonton sighting to those in the Great Falls sight-
ing. This may have been due to misunderstanding in their
directive. The objects in the Great Falls sighting are
strongly suspected of being reflections of aircraft kno'vn to
have been in the area.
f• The intensity change in the Trementon lights was too great
for acceptance of the P.I.L. hypothesis that the apparent
motion and changing intensity of the lights indicated eA~remely
high speed in small orbital paths.
g. Apparent lack of guidance of investigators by those familiar
with U.F.O• reports and explanations.
h• .Analysis of light intensity of objects made from duplicate
rather than original film• The original film was noted to
have a much lighter background (affecting relative brightness
of object) and the objects appeared much less bright.
i. Method of obtaining data of light intensity appeared faulty
because of unsuitability of equipment and questionable
assumptions in making averages of readings.
j. No data had been obtained on the sensitivity of Kodachrome
film to light of various intensities using the sarae camera
type at the same lens openings.
