Being Displayed
At Art Gallery

Well, finally, a photo of a flying
saucer!
Or so it says on a photo being
displayed at Elfstrom's art gal
lery here.

mer resident of Salem, gave the
ohnto to Larry Boulier, director
of the art gallery.
Taken March 21
Herrman said he took the pho
to March 12 at Pacific City. Ore.
He said he was lust ready to
shoot a picture of his wife, Zel
ma, high-Jumping on the be8ch,
when he heard a swooshing
sound, looked up to see a vapor
trailed or exhaust-trailed object,
and snapped the object with his
camera set at 11.000 of a second.
The photo, said Herrman, was
taken on a murky day in light
rain in the late afternoon with
a 45 R. R. Graflex equipped
with a Cooke F3-5 lens.
Herrman said the object ap
peared to have some sort of win
dows and holes in the edges and
appeared to be only about 2,000
feet away.
Negative Destroyed
Boulier quoted Herrman say-
ng he destroyed me negative on
the advice of friends, after sav
ing three enlargements. He did
not go into the reasons for tak
ing this step.
Rand also was quoted as say
ing that by the time his wile
had centered her attention
toward the object, it had disap
ocared. although a vaporous
trail was still visible.
The photo, which Herrman
has coDvrichted. shows a dim.
apparently elliptical object above
a point where breakers are meet
ing the shore.
