I. Description of Incident
Several civilian eye-witnesses observed an unidentified aerial object be-
tween 2200 and 2300 :10urs CST, for two to three minutes. It was described as
round, bluish-white light t of high intensity and disappeared by going out of
sight to tho southwest. The object passed then appeared to climb
e end of e sighting
IJ. Discussion ncident
·Local air traffic has not been identified in this sighting. Pending this,
the object appears to be a jet aircraft's exhaust seen at a low altitude, perhaps
with its afterburner cut in. The night of sighting was extremely clear facili-
taling observation of any object ssing the sky. No je noise was heard, however,
the observers were in a moving e jet may have been based marillo, a
nearby air base.
