Mary L. Herren submitted photographs reportedly taken between November 5-12, 1946 near Jefferson, Oregon showing alleged flying disc formations, though Air Force analysis determined the markings were likely camera or film defects.
“The attached photographs were forwarded to this office by a very reliable source of information, obtained from a Mary L. Herren, 1728 S. W. Bidwell Avenue, Portland 2, Oregon. She advises these photographs were taken some time between November 5th and 12th, 1946, in the vicinity of Jefferson, Oregon, and points out the formation in the photographs as being objects she did not recall seeing herself but she thought might possibly be flying discs.”
