1953 Air Force UFO Photo Project

[Sky Matters]

Off and on, I have been looking at reports of flying saucers at the old Hamilton AFB in California. I have read old news articles about a special program to photograph saucers using special cameras that were installed in air bases throughout the US. This is the first time I have found photos of the cameras.

They are probably more interesting as history of the equipment rather than UFOS. But I find them fascinating.

Wow, I heard about unknown brands for video/photo cameras like Bolex, Keystone, Revere, Bell & Howell and Yashica, but Videon was the first time I heard of this brand.
Thanks sharing this old photos.
