| the intelligence operation—the bomb wing. And then we got this flaky major who had a drinking problem, and then he went away and then we got another major who was a real jerk, so I don't know. I can't remember when we lost the lieutenant colonel, whether this was before or after. | ||
| TT: | Well, you had been there for year, almost to the month. | |
| RC: | Yeah, but I don't remember when the lieutenant colonel left, I really don't, because he got transferred down to SAC headquarters, he was a good guy. | |
| TT: | So what would your procedure be now that you've got the negative back from the film lab? Was the film lab in the same building as you? | |
| RC: | No, no we took a vehicle over there. | |
| TT: | And you're right on base—right in the center of the base? | |
| RC: | Well, we were at the headquarters building which was a blockhouse building, and we were not too far from where the bombers were that were on the ready pad. | |
| TT: | I've seen an overhead and I know what you're talking about—long building. | |
| RC: | Yeah, no windows. In the wintertime the only time we saw the sun was on weekends, because we'd be there at 7:30 and didn't get done until 5:30. And up there in the wintertime the sun doesn't come out until after eight, and it sets at 4:00. No, the photo lab was not in our building, we took one of those nice blue vans that the Air Force had and went and got the film, 'cause I remember I went and got it. | |
| TT: | What were they shooting? 100 ft. rolls or variable lengths? | |
| RC: | They were variable lengths, you know. | |
| TT: | What was the standard length? | |
| RC: | I think it was 100 feet. | |
| TT: | So 100 feet, that's a lot of time at three seconds a pop. How much total footage did they shoot of this particular UFO incident? We've got thirteen [actually fourteen] frames here [referring to the photographic prints]. | |
| RC: | Yeah, there were a lot more than that. | |
| TT: | "A lot more" meaning? | |
| RC: | [sighs] I don't remember, Tom |
