I was photographing a double rainbow right after a thunderstorm. I took a few photos, around 6. I was right across the street from the comet and didn't notice the object when photographing it. I picked up the film for development at the Fox watch kiosk in Albuquerque, New Mexico. 

When I was looking through the photos, I saw this object in just one photo. I took the picture at the Sunspot Observatory in New Mexico. They told me that I was about 500 feet (150 m) away from the object. They told me that the object was moving at a speed of at least 500 miles per hour. They told me that the shadows match all the other objects in the photo. 

I was told that the Kodak instamatic camera I was using couldn't be tampered with. They told me not to show it to people because I might get in trouble. 

I went to Kirtland Air Force Base, where a friend of mine worked as a helicopter mechanic, and I showed the photo to some of the pilots. They were very angry with me and told me to get out of the base, and that if I ever went back there again, they would report me to the base security service. One pilot told me that I was a troublemaker and was going to tell base security my address and send me to jail. I didn't go to jail, and no one ever contacted me about the photo.

About two weeks later, I gave the original photo to a man named Dr. Greer. He told me that he had friends nearby who would study the photo, and that he would contact me in about two weeks to tell me what it was. I never got a response from Dr. Greer. 

In recent years, I have tried to contact Dr. Greer, but he has never returned my phone calls. I also sent a copy to the person, the doctor. Stanton Freidman. He told me that the photo was interesting.

Summary:  I was taking photos of a double rainbow, just after a thunderstorm. I took several photos, about 6 . I was directly across the street from the national cometary. I did not notice the object when photographed. I took the film to be developed at the fox one hour kiosk in Albuquerque new Mexico. When I went through the photos is when I saw this object in just one photograph. I took the photo to sunspot observatory in new Mexico. They told me that I was about 500 feet from the object. They told me that the object was going at least 500 mph. They told me that shadows were consistent with all other objects in the photograph. They told me that the camera I was using, a Kodak instamatic, that this photograph could not have been faked. They told me not to show it to people, because I could get into trouble. I went to Kirtland air force base, where a friend of mine was a helicopter mechanic, and I showed the picture to some pilots. They became very angry with me, and told me to get the hell off the base, and that if I ever came back there again, they would report me to base security. One pilot told me that I was a troublemaker, and that he was going to inform base security of my address and have me put in jail. I did not go to jail, and no one ever contacted me about the photograph. About two weeks later, I gave the photograph, original, to a man named Dr. Greer. He told me that he had friends in the area that would examine the photo and that he would contact me in about two weeks to tell me about what it was. I never heard back from Dr. Greer.
