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. It includes the OSI interview report, letters about borrowing and copying the film, and a 1956 Douglas Aircraft analysis. Blue Book's own findings were not consistent: one letter lists the cause as unknown, while later memos conclude the objects were probably two F-94 jets.

August 15, baseball park manager, captured the saucers on film, with his movies at Great Falls, Montana of two round bright lights in echelon formation, which moved behind a water tower. These objects were made with colored movie films and appeared in the movie entitled "Unidentified Flying Objects", now being shown nationwide on various TV channels. The project received three other movies that got considerable attention. One, in color, was taken at Great Falls, Mont., and showed two bright spots of light speeding across the sky and passing behind a water tower. Two F-04s were in the area, and the lights could have been reflections of the sun on these jets, but we were not able to come to any definite conclusions: EXTRACT FROM RURAL " TRUE " MAGAZINE Article
