Additional. Notes to the Report:
It should be noted that, at the time Zanora saw the insignia, t he
craft was well illuminated by sunlight which was streaming in from
Zamora's right. It might. be well to perform some experiments with
placards with insignia and different patterns inscribed t hereon to
see how well these are visable, under good lighting, at 100-200 feet.
Additional Note: What is the power of Zamora's glasses? Does he
suffer from a stigmatism?
Additional Note: Several things are a pity in this situation. One is
that there was not an additional witness. Second is
that no photographs were taken. Th~r d , that no radars
picked up the object, andfourth that the witness whom
we did have was not a better observer and more
articulate.
Recommendations: The object which produced this, if it was a new device
under test or in maneuvers, be brought to same location
and movies be taken of it departing in the manner
described by Zamora, and under t he same lighting
conditions. This then could be played at any future
hearings on flying saucers. This, it seems to me,
could go a very long way toward exploding the myth
8
of flying saucers, and might do mer e goai than all the
previous years of propaganda.
