Project Grudge, an Air Force project its director later admitted was to debunk the UFO phenomenon. One file buried in the Grudge data concerns a cylindrical object photographed above Manhattan in 1950 — by one of New York City’s most prestigious photographers (now featured in the Library of Congress). The photographer, Irving Underhill, was adamant what was in the photo was an object, that wasn’t there before or after it was shot. The Air Force, though, had other ideas. They believed he misidentified the Moon, and forgot he was taking a time-lapse image. and show its many issues, including the USAF’s statement that the photo happened during sunset (the only time the Moon was in that part of the sky). Underhill’s photo, taken at night, was used for a postcard titled “Night Lights from Queensboro Bridge.“ But the early 1950s were full of cylindrical UFO sightings, including several made by trained observers noting cylinders traveling — strangely — through the air in an upright position or at an angle.
