The weather information does not support temperature-inverted anomalous
propagation, There probably are other discrepancies in the upper atmosphere
which could also cause anomalous propagation,

Tae possibility that meteors entered the atmosphere and were detected cannot
be disregarded, and may be the answer to this report. A meteor would cause
ionization of the air which diould increase the target detectability. Short

duration of the condition supperts this theory, rather than anomolous propagation,
