Delbert Newhouse

Delbert C. Newhouse was a US Navy Chief Warrant Officer and experienced Navy photographer. A veteran with nineteen years of service, he had graduated from naval photographic school and logged over a thousand hours on aerial photography missions.

On July 2, 1952, while accompanied by his wife and two children, Newhouse filmed a formation of bright objects maneuvering over Tremonton, Utah. He used a professional 16mm color Bell and Howell Filmo Auto Loadmaster camera equipped with a telephoto lens, which he hand-held during filming at 16 images per second.

His 16mm color film became one of the most studied pieces of UFO film evidence. The footage was analyzed extensively by the Navy and Project Blue Book, and Newhouse was considered a particularly reliable and qualified observer who had no prior implication in UFO research.
