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.

## Requirements 1. 2 color duplicates and 1 black & white print (exclusive of portion with sound track which is spliced to the end of the film). 2. Request the original be handled with utmost care (it is already in fairly poor condition, and we are very anxious that it suffer no further damage). 3. Request the original be cleaned as carefully as possible prior to duplication. 4. Request utmost effort in controlling duplication to extent that resulting copies will be as identical to original as possible in image and color reproduction. 5. The loose (unspliced) portion of 17 frames belongs at the end of the footage having a deep blue background and no sound track. The last frame of this loose portion is immediately adjacent to the splice with the broken frame having the sound track. 6. Can the stripped sprocket holes in the loose portion of the original (see 5) be repaired in any way - sufficiently to make it possible to run this part along with the remainder of film without malfunction?
