“It struck me as odd that these loud noises were so deep, extended,
and beyond what I have ever heard in my flight engineer work before.”

Dear Linda,
I was given your name and address by a friend who has heard you on radio - I believe the "Coast to Coast" radio program. I am sending you two attached jpeg pics my brother's wife took during a ski vacation eight years ago in February 2004, at the Mammoth ski resort, a famous ski spot for Californians.
My brother and family were on the middle of a ski slope, making their way down the mountain, when they stopped for a family pic. My brother's wife is the photographer in the family. My sister-in-law snapped two pictures back-to-back (automatic SLR camera).
As for the taking of the actual photos in question, my brother's wife was stooping down to take this first picture with the camera in the "landscape" orientation at 9:35:32 AM, on February 19, 2004, at the Mammoth Ski resort. The picture is of my brother and his two kids, but I have pixelated their faces for privacy reasons. The rest of the photo is untouched (ie. not photoshopped) and neither is the second photo.
After taking that first photo, she then stood up, turned the camera 90 degrees, and
11 seconds later took the next picture from a "portrait" orientation. It's that second photo which has the anomaly. As you can see, the clouds, trees, mountains, and markings on the snow are the same in both pics. There's just one thing additional in the second pic....the craft above the mountain line. Strange!
There is no lodge or building structure near them. The object is well above the ski lift, and over an open valley. The sun is reflecting off the object at the same angle as sunshine on the mountain behind the disc. I asked my brother if someone threw something into the air above the slope from him, or from the ski lift. He said, "No way! The ski lift doesn't come close to where we were standing on the mountain, plus the object is not over us; it's out over the valley, between us and the background mountain.
As soon as the family returns from the event/vacation, my brother's wife doesn't take long to upload pictures from the camera to her computer. She was going through the ski pics after uploading them when she spotted the weird object (silver disc) in the one picture and called my brother into the study to take a look. He chuckled and said something about it being bizarre. It looked like a hat, but was too shiny, and really was too high in altitude, and too far from other people to be a hat thrown into the air. Upon increasing the magnification it didn't really get any clearer for him, but he's convinced it's metallic due to the reflection from the sun. The pic still remains on his wife's computer.
[ Editor's Note: June 16, 1963, in Bernalillo near Albuquerque, New Mexico, on Easter Sunday, April 18, 1965, Paul Villa, Jr., took photographs below of a silver disc that closely resembles the February 19, 2004, Mammoth ski photo. ]
