Sighting No, 175 Photograph of Unknown Aerial Phenomena taken at Datil, New Mexico by Cpl Lertis E, Stanfield, Holloman Air Force Base, New liexico on 24 and 25 Feb 1950, An analysis of the above photograph was made by Dr, Lincoln LaPaz, Head of the Institute of iletecritics, University of New llexico, Albuquerque, New liexico, who reached the following con- clusions: a. The angular diameter of the perfectly round luminous object Stanfield observed was approx= imately 1/4 of a degree, b. The angular velocity of the object in the sky was greater than half a degree per minute. Dr. LaPaz stated that on the basis of the results (a) and (b) above, the object seen by Stanfield was not the moon (for the angular diameter is too small), it was not Venus or any other planet (for the angular diameter was too large), and it was not a bright fixed star Slightly. out of focus (for the observed rate of motion is double that due to the diurnal rotation of the earth), ee EEA
