Our consultant Andres Duarte has examined the existing information, as well as the original photo, and he has found several inconsistencies both in the reported data and the image. Firstly, the picture received from Skinner is 90x90 mm, but Keel said he received a contact copy, and a contact print of a 620 film is 56 mm high, this conveys doubts about whether the submitted photograph is really the original or not. Secondly, the picture received shows an illumination equivalent to a light source located at 25° of elevation, while according to the testimony of the boy the picture was taken at 2 pm, when the Sun was about 75° high. This discrepancy in the angle of illumination is important. > more (http://fotocat.blogspot.com.au/2012_05_29_archive.html)

Same year:

September 15 1967. 2045 hrs.
WINSTED (CONNECTICUT : USA)

Carol Luke (14) was in her farmhouse bedroom with her friend Ruth Passini (14) when they observed a bright glowing object, the apparent size of a Volkswagen of that period, above and behind a barn complex about 150-200m away. The object changed colour white-beige-pink-red-orange about 10 times, moving up and down and side to side. After about 30 minutes they heard a noise like the sound of a motor mower coming from the barn area, then two small figures about 1.35m tall emerged from the barn, and stood by the mail box. The beings seemed to be dressed alike, and the one more clearly visible had an oversized head. The two beings may have crossed the road for a short while, then returned with a third. When a car headlights appeared they then ran past the barn. When the car was in the area the lights of the object in the field apparently dimmed, but when car went, the light flared up again. The object then began to move away diagonally, dimming as it did so. At 2200 when Mrs Luke arrived home it was barely visible. Mrs Pinozza who lived opposite claimed to have seen a watermelon-shaped object while taking out the wash.
