Taken from information received
from photographer.
' 'The exact day the photo was taken
- is not remembered. It was, though.
sometime during the first week of
September, 1984.
- We then lived at Black Hills Army De­
pot, Igloo, South Dakota. It was a
very cloudy day with high winds,
about 11 o'clock in the morning. My
mother was looking out of the window,
when she sighted two objects. From
the position, of . the objects above the
trees, I would say they were about 15
degrees above the horizon. She then
photographed the objects with a
Brownie Hawkeye 620 camera. It was
very stormy out, so she did not see
the objects and does not know what
direction they were traveling. " Au­
