The whole UFO case report:
“Animal Reaction
Feature:
Three men were transporting horses in a high-sided, open topped truck to
the MacMillan Pass summit. Arriving in the afternoon
at the unloading site, one of the men took his camera and walked 600 feet or so away to
take a photograph of mountains to the south. As he looked through the
viewfinder he heard an extremely loud fluttering sound approaching from behind
and above.
After getting a photograph of the object, the witness ran toward the
truck. The horses, not yet unloaded, were panicked. They were trying to jump
out of the truck, and the two ‘outfitters’ were desperately trying to calm them
and to keep them from injuring themselves. Eventually the horses did calm. The
outfitters did not see the unknown object, but commented that they had never
before seen the horses react in this way.
The Sighting:
When the witness heard the loud sound approaching behind and above him
(putting the unknown about 600-700
feet from the horses), he kept one eye on the viewfinder
and caught a glimpse of the object passing above him out of the corner of his
other eye. Then, almost instantly, he caught the object in the viewfinder as it
rapidly flew over the valley in front of him. It appeared to slow, and he
snapped a picture. The object wavered
and turned to the right and accelerated. It became silent as it changed
direction. It disappeared into the distance flying up the valley.
Martin Jasek analyzed the photograph, which shows an object with a domed
top and a rectangular-looking bottom.* Jasek’s calculated angular size of the
object in the photograph is 0.28° (0.55 moon diameter).
Duration of the sighting was in seconds.
The unknown’s altitude when over the witness’s head was estimated as
1500-1800 feet.
The peak visually nearest the unknown object (in the photograph) is about 4000 m (13,000 feet) away
(email, Jasek to Woodward, March 22, 2006 and April 20, 2006).
No EM or physiological effects were reported.
