Rex Heflin was a Highway Accident Investigator for the Los Angeles County Highway Commission, he carried a Polaroid camera, which contained film rated at 3000
ASA. On Myford Road near Santa Ana, he spotted an unusual object approaching the road. He stopped the truck, grabbed the camera off the seat beside him and made three pictures as
rapidly as possible. As the object moved away, Heflin scrambled out of the truck and took his 4th and final picture. Heflin tried to contact his office by radio while the UFO was near
his vehicle, but the radio refused to operate.
The photos were examined by United Press International photographic specialists, who also took test photos with the same equipment. They pronounced the photos genuine. Heflin was
reportedly approached by a man who claimed to be from NORAD, to whom he gave the original Polaroids. Both NORAD and the Air Force denied having the photos.
NICAP investigators, including scientific advisors, also believed the photos were genuine. They claimed that frame 1 shows a swirl of material below the object, rising about a foot
in the air.
