We've dealt near the William Rhoades UFO photo from July 7th, 1947 at this blog and publicized toward the back.

Anthony Bragalia has provided recount on the photo.

Hayden Hewes also evaluated the photos (two) in a "UFO Distinguish" article [October 1978, Expanse 40 ff.], from which the image ultra comes.

The photos were tiring from him by two members of the intelligence neighboring Rhoades alleged, and they were never returned or found, Rhoades attempting a lawsuit to contact them, which was never brought to fruition.

The Rhoades story and photos fascinate some business and contributors impart, and I can see why; The date of the camera work, the men in black, the conflicting evaluations of authority, the Arnold clue, and Rhoades honesty among other elements in this old episode.
