Fig. 1. Photograph of an unidentified high altitude
bright light source.
Picture taken by Royal Canadian Air Force
pilot R. J. Childerhose on August 27, 1956
from an altitude of 36,000 ft
(app. 11 km). The object was higher than app.
4 km and was observed for
more than 45 sec.
If acting as an isotropic Lambertian radiator,
the power output within the
spectral range of the film would
have been in excess of 109 W.

Fig. 2. Childerhose was flying west in
the second position (left side) of a
formation of four F-86 Sabre jets
of the Royal Canadian Air Force.
