This Project Blue Book file, released through The Black Vault, collects US Air Force records from 1950 to 1959 on the movie film Nicholas Mariana shot at Great Falls, Montana on 15 August 1950.

Their conclusions, in part, were that," photographs of the UFO's indicate that airplane reflections might possibly look like the images shown on the film. The fact that the images do fade is reminiscent of airplane reflective phenomena". Also, strong corroborative evidence is given by simulated photographs of aircraft at various distances made by this laboratory which show that aircraft can look similar to the two white blops shown on the Montana films. There is, therefore, no compelling reason to alter our original evaluation x 747 George T. August , Capt. USSF 29 May 1856 Mr . Claire and planned to
