I. Description of Incident
•
Botween 0430 of observers from varying locations around
the New York Cilty area noticed a single, round object with colors ranging between
whitc, white-orango and amber. All observations placed the unknown nin t the NW
approximately 15° above the horizon azinuth heading with slow drift to
the south finally sinking sight. All observations were unaidod visual
sightings or with binoculars Although tried, electronic

II. Discussion.of Incident
! AFB determined that the planet Jupiter,
Mitchel
on i December, has an approximate azimuth of -2 magnitude (extremely
bright), and disappears below the horizon at approximately the sam9 time the ob-
jeet was last observed. Undoubtedly, the unknowm object is explained. The
white to amber color range can be explained by the presence light refracting
.. through atmospheric dust. This report of the most complete in ATIC files
and the resourcefulness and common sans Witchel Intelligenc officers
is.to be cormended. Coaplete personal statements and azimuth and elevation head-
ings s were obtained from 6 points of independent observation. If the object had
not turnod out Jupiter triangulation se data would have been
possible.
