The attached picture may hold the key to my selection to scan the A-12 mission in 1967.

I remember in the mid 1960s,
  identifying a vehicle looking just like this in a military area in Omsk. I wrote it up as a possible Mobile Missile. The Agency Analysts quickly shot down the identification because they didn't have anything that tied missile activity to the area. (This even after I used a shot of a German V-2 Missile on a trailer parked in the same installation on much earlier coverage.)

I remember when briefing
  Art Lundahl on this image that he was not concerned with what others thought, he was very supportive of bringing the image to the attention of the community. He thanked me for the work I had done on the identification and on the Briefing Board. This find was a result of the scan for additional targets after the first phase was completed. This happened when I was still in the Ground Order of Battle Section.

Art may have had this find that I had made in his mind when I was selected to scan the A-12 coverage.
