A professional photographer in Grand Blanc, Michigan reported photographing what appeared to be a flying object on a moon photograph taken on February 21, 1960, which he described as oval-shaped with a fluorescent glow and vapor trail.
“At about 1:00 a.m. on February 21, 1960, he took some photographs of the moon and after developing same, he put them in his viewer and in one photograph he observed what appears to be a flying object somewhere between the end of his telescope and the surface of the moon. He said that when blown up, this object is flat on the bottom, is oval shaped, and appears to have a fluorescent glow around the entire object, and that it is apparently moving as it has a vapor trail running behind it.”
