"these analysts concluded that these objects were probably light sources not reflections. It's kind of important because one of the debunking explanations of the Utah film in particular was that they were probably seagulls reflecting light."
Dolan cites a 1953 US Navy memorandum he says analysed two early-1950s UFO films (Montana 1950 and Utah 1952) using frame-by-frame photogrammetric and luminosity work at the Naval Photographic Interpretation Center.
He says the memo’s analysts concluded the objects were likely light sources rather than reflections and that they specifically ruled out birds, aircraft, and balloons in their assessment, contrary to later sceptical explanations of the Utah footage.
