Great Falls / Mariana Montana 1950 Film
The Mariana Montana film travels with Utah footage inside the 1953 Navy analysis (D098) — better photogrammetry ≠ final taxonomy.
Sources war.gov/UFO; DOW-UAP-D098 indexes; archives.gov Blue Book overview
Nick Mariana’s 1950 Great Falls, Montana, film is the frequent companion to the Tremonton Utah reel inside historical Navy photographic analysis (DOW-UAP-D098). Ground-reference objects made the Montana footage more computable to period analysts — still not a modern identification.
Status open on the objects; cited on the analysis paperwork when the PDF is pulled from war.gov.
