ANALYSIS SUMMARYThis analysis was prepared by Dr. Elara Voss using publicly available source material. It should be verified against the original source documents.

The Tremonton film was recorded near Tremonton, Utah, in July 1952 and was studied at the time by both the U.S. Navy and the Air Force's Project Blue Book. Release 06 places the official Project Blue Book file and the archival film into the public PURSUE archive together, designated unresolved. That designation reflects the government's inability to make a definitive determination; it is not a claim that the objects were extraordinary. The pairing of the file with the film lets readers compare the original analysis with the footage it examined.
