Description

This photo was taken on October 8, 1981 at about 11:OO a.m. local time on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Photographer was Hannah McRoberts who took many photos of the local landscape. UFO was noticed only after she got negatives. Photography was analyzed by Richard F. Haines. This is what he wrote:

"The evidence consisted of a single frame of 35 mm color film which showed a sharply focused disc-like object against a clear blue sky with wooded mountain peak nearby. Analyses of the original negative included micro-densitometry, computer enhancements, and other measurements intent upon showing a support thread, atmospheric disturbance, or other evidences of a hoax. These analyses suggest that the disc was a three dimensional object located at a distance of at least 30 feet from the camera; the object's surface albedo was diffuse and of lower luminance than sunlit cloud. Extensive interviews with the photographer (who never saw the aerial object), her husband and daughter and site survey tended to support the entire narrative account. The identity of the disc object remains unidentified.

In summary, this investigation has shown that a mature adult with high credibility and little or no interest in UFO phenomena obtained a single, I colored, sharp imaged photograph of an unidentified aerial disc-like object. Her subsequent reactions to seeing the disc's image on her photograph proI duced surprise and dismay as well as the normal array of "answer-seeking" behavior. She has not capitalized on having such a photo and still acts someI what embarrassed at having taken it without seeing the disc. The disc's identity has not been identified to date."
