1. ‘Following information of an whidentified flying objoct vies received a!
the arch Air rorce ‘ase flight Service Center on 27 Yovember J9£D, from the ;iict
of rogulerly scheduled civil airline DC=-3 tyre aircraft.

2. Possibility of object beine a star, plenet, meteor, or bLallucn is ruled out
because it neither wraintnained a fixed porition nor followsd » constant nath. Spoese,
remarkable manouvering, and brilliant lizht of object seemed to irdicate to the wit-
nesses that it was not a conventional aircreft. %rilliance of obfect prevented it's

identification.
