100° to 120°, or ia other words, East South East or South East. The sky was clear
and visibility 100%. The object was followed visually until it disapoeared over the
horizon. The flight was observed for about 10 seconds, during which time the object
covered about 75% of the distance from horizon to horizon, At first, it was

thought to be a "falling star", but after several seconds of observation, it was
determined that it was traveling in a horizontal plane, It appeared to be as

brizht in intensity as a falling meteorite, but it had a short "tail" on it. It
carried no "running" or navigation lights, as required by aircraft for night
flights. Its brightness did not diminish in intensity during the observation
period, and no sound was heard even when directly overhead, No witnesses were

reported by lr. Sm |
