The whole UFO case report:
“Fran Ridge:
July 2, 1952; Tremonton ,
Utah
11:10 a.m. Navy photographer Delbert C. Newhouse and
his wife, while driving across the state, saw a group of 12-14 shiny silver
objects milling around in the sky. Newhouse stopped and retrieved his 16 mm camera and filmed extensive
footage of the objects. He and his wife both reported seeing some of the
objects relatively close-up and they were shaped like one plate inverted atop
another. When the film was returned to Newhouse following Navy and Air Force
analysis, the frames showing the discs close-up had been deleted. 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, considering Newhouse’s credibility, spent considerable time and
money on the analyses and to classify the Utah Film as ‘Secret’. 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.’ And, surprisingly, an FBI letter documents the importance placed
on this incident. **
Update 17 Nov. 2013
Fran Ridge:
Several years ago I had a taped telephone interview
with Newhouse and he stuck to his story throughout. 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, nor others
could logically explain. The tape was lost went my basement flooded. My last
contact with him was a letter dated May 29, 2005. *** Newhouse passed away
