What happened

Mariana shot 16 mm color film of two bright objects that he described as discs. The film shows two bright circular points of light. Project Grudge wrote them off as sun reflections from two F-94s that landed minutes later. Robert Baker's 1956 analysis found the F-94 explanation unconvincing. Mariana said the Air Force returned the film with key frames missing.

Witnesses
