On
July 16, 1952 at 09:35 AM Coast Guard seaman Shell Alpert,
took this picture of four roughly elliptical blobs of
light in formation through the window of his photographic
laboratory. The objects were also witnessed by Coastguardsman
Thomas Flaherty. Both were assigned to the base in nearby
Salem, Massachusetts. The first analysis by US Air Force's
Project Blue Book concluded it was probably a double exposure
hoax. A second analysis by Blue Book concluded that it
was probably reflections of street lamps on a window.
Finally, the case was considered unexplained by Project
Blue Book.
