There are a few different entries surrounding this event that are very interesting.
first I saw was this version showing several slides laid on a light table, but black and white, under a single entry Just title Project Blue Book Film
Here I isolated a few of the slides and enlarged them a bit. there are no other details on this entry,
but if you search just ” Alamogordo ” on the archives there is a separate entry titled “Sanitized project blue book etc etc” and it has news clippings and other info about the event that had other low res scans of the object and some other info about it, and the Agency APRO which is based in the area initially came to the conclusion of cloud from newspaper prints, but once they got a hold of the actual negatives from the photographer they took it more seriously and did some serious analysis on it before turning it over to the Military that just dismissed it.
there are a few letters back and forth debating whether or not it is a cloud, with a generally dismissive attitude from everyone passing these slides along the chain.
So again, is anyone aware of the actual slides making it out? with some lazy googling ( I swear google sucks so hard lately) I found some colorized but still low res versions of the first image but not much else.
