At 11:10 am on July 2nd, 1950, Warrant Officer Delbert C. Newhouse, a veteran Navy photographer, shot about thirty feet of film of ten or twelve strange, silvery objects in the sky near Trementon, Utah. As the objects flew in a westerly direction, one of them veered off from the main group and reversed its course.

After a thousand hours of investigation of the Newhouse film, the Navy Photographic Interpretation laboratory concluded that the objects filmed were neither aircraft, birds, ballons, nor reflections and were in fact „self-luminous”.

The „Robertson Panel” – five distinguished non-military scientists convened by the CIA in 1952 to analyse Project Blue Book data – concluded otherwise: they decided the objects were a formation of birds reflecting the strong sunlight!
