Delbert Newhouse

Delbert C. Newhouse was a U.S. Navy Chief Warrant Officer and experienced Navy photographer with nineteen years of service, a graduate of naval photographic school with over a thousand hours of aerial photography missions. On 2 July 1952, accompanied by his wife and two children, he filmed a formation of bright objects over Tremonton, Utah with a professional 16-mm colour Bell and Howell Filmo Auto Loadmaster camera with telephoto lens — one of the most intensively studied pieces of UFO film evidence of all.

• U.S. Navy Chief Warrant Officer and experienced Navy photographer
• Veteran with nineteen years of service
• Graduate of naval photographic school
• Over a thousand hours of aerial photography missions
• Recording on 2 July 1952 over Tremonton, Utah, with his wife and two children
• Professional 16-mm colour Bell and Howell Filmo Auto Loadmaster camera with telephoto lens, hand-held at 16 frames per second
• Film extensively analysed by Navy and Project Blue Book; Newhouse considered a particularly reliable observer with no prior involvement in UFO research

For the UAP timeline, Newhouse is one of the most credible early UFO film witnesses: a trained Navy aerial photographer with more than 1,000 mission hours, family members as co-witnesses and a Navy/Blue Book analysis make the Tremonton film one of the reference pieces of visual UFO evidence of the 1950s.
