Great Falls Electrics baseball club manager Nick Mariana filmed two bright, spinning disc-shaped objects on 16mm Kodachrome color film as they flew over a local water tower. The frames showing the objects closest to the camera were removed by Air Force investigators before returning the film. Remaining frames analyzed by three separate groups including the Condon Committee; objects confirmed not reflections, aircraft, or birds. The missing frames remain unexplained.
