3/ In 1980, he sends a copy of the photos to the Center for UFO Studies because they resemble the lights in two undated photos taken from an airplane by J. Allen Hynek that appeared in his book The UFO Experience. [Eberhart]

2/For several nights he has been noticing two unusual stars forming different shapes, and he thinks this might be related. He grabs his camera and takes three black-and-white photos. Two of the photos show two irregular light blobs, which he does not remember seeing when he exposed the film.

NOTE: I am not convinced CUFOS didnt mess up the layout and NOT print Appleman's photo, instead printing Hynek's twice. Or the photo on the left is supposed to be Applemans, because the photo on the right is Hyneks.
