Suddenly ei ght nalfway 8/20/c
between the moon a and th orizon light, cortestion
which traveled from east west perfectly horizc ontally and NE to SW
was in sight for about four seconds. I had n to judge or
its distance not estimate xcept that WNE TOISH
it seemed very fast. Its apparent size was about twice
this was a reflection could be accinted by some normal
means My thinking changed
in four seconds from an attitude of alnost complete disbeliof
to one of firm conviction that this thing exists
