Victor, David, anyone interested:

In relation to the point that the #3 UFO image may be
anomalously large in relation to the #2 image I said in a post
just minutes ago:

"It's also possible that Heflin got the order wrong. Remember
the film pack was not numbered and he marked them 1 to 4 at some
time later. So he could have transposed #3 and #4 quite easily I
imagine. It wouldn't seem particularly important to him at the
time. In fact if you reverse them you end up with a coherent
sequence of reducing angular size. Of course the cost of doing
that is to make the #3 "smoke trail" less intelligible, since
this becomes #2 and presumably heading in the opposite
direction."

Obviously I meant "#2 and #3" in the 2nd sentence but that isn't
the point. I just noticed that Heflin's very first account to
NICAP (report form and narrative Sept 22 1965) states:

 "The object moved slowly off to the northeast. I _then_ snapped
 the second picture... "

In other words this is consistent with a possible confusion of
#2 and #3, because whatever the order both photos would show a
UFO travelling right to left.

Just a possibility.
