We have discovered excess 5-8.5 micron emission well above the
plane of the edge-on galaxy NGC5907 in the CAM project BDHALO. The
data have only just been reduced and it is still unclear what kind of
objects are causing the emission. However, the strength of the emission
combined with the ratio of I-band to LW2 flux points to extremely cool stars
rather than brown dwarfs. We ask for more time to extend this study to another
two edge-on galaxies, NGC5714 and NGC5529. The project has fundamental
implications for studies of dark matter and galactic structure.
