This Project Blue Book case file compilation, hosted by NICAP, covers Rex Heflin's photographs of a UFO taken near Santa Ana, California, on 3 August 1965. It includes an Air Force investigation report by Captain Charles F. Reichmuth, a USMC El Toro G-2 report, an FTD photo analysis dated 14 August 1965, correspondence with Ralph Rankow and Congressman James B. Utt, and newspaper clippings. The analysis concluded the object was about one to three feet in diameter, close to the camera, and could not be the size reported.

## A Flying Saucer? Some people don't believe in flying saucers, but what's this? The picture was taken near Santa Ana by a government worker. NEWSPAPER UNKNOWN ( CLIPPING SENT IN ) ## UFO Photo Released SANTA ANA, Calif. (UPI)—A county highway department investigator who doesn't believe in flying saucers has photographed a saucer-shaped flying object that has yet to be identified. Rex Hefflin, 37, has released three photographs which he says were taken Aug. 3 when the midwestern and southeastern portions of the nation were flooded with reports of unidentified flying objects. Hellin said he was working near the Santa Ana Marine Corps air facility when he caught a glimpse of a silver object which he estimated to be 30 feet in diameter and eight feet thick. He said it was visible for 15 seconds and moved from west to east, accelerating at about the same speed as a jet.
