Re-digitized at 8K resolution in PURSUE Release 06 from NARA Record Group 341, U.S. Navy Warrant Officer and Chief Photographer Delbert C. Newhouse filmed 12–14 bright self-luminous or specular discoid objects maneuvering in formation over Tremonton, Utah (41.71°N, -112.16°W) on July 2, 1952 using a Bell & Howell 16mm camera with a 3-inch telephoto lens.
