Peter Nelson took the photographs with a simple Hanimex 35mm camera loaded with 'Klick' 200 ASA colour print film. The camera has two fixed lenses, a wide angle lens of focal length approximately 70mm. The most impressive of the photographs is 35A, the UFO photograph. This shot shows the full moon, and to the right of it patches of red and orange light with a 'jet' of yellow-white light squirting out underneath. Luckily the moon is in the shot, so we have an object of known size and brightness against which we can measure the UFO. Unfortunately, the moon is slightly blurred, so the image of the UFO is also distorted. The image on the film could represent the body of the UFO (assuming it was a solid flying machine, which the eyewitness testimony does point to). More likely though, given the dark conditions and the short exposure time, frame 35A shows the hot, glowing gas being emitted from a jet or rocket engine.

The preceding photograph, 34A, also shows two puzzling red lights. These lights look similar to sodium street lamps, but their colour is a deep red rather than the sodium lamp yellow. Thus there is a strong possibility that these lights are the image of lamps carried by the UFO.

It is impossible to determine at the present time exactly what manner of aircraft Peter Nelson has captured on film. Hopefully the analysis of the film will reveal more information.
