Bue I to he going south.
My curiosiby S into the house for binoculars (8x30), and
after securing them, pick up zain and ket bebter
view of it.
Thru the binoculars I could see that the doject consisted of a large
spot of light with a smaller light by compariuon trailing it which I took
to be the tail of the oojeet. Judging from the position or the smallr
light to the larger one, the object would be of considerable length. It
moved too fast for a blimp and emitted too much light for a jeb. Moreover,
a full mocn was out which at that distance would have rade a jet or
saw and reported it. Last night after finally losing ook down
ome notes from thich I have written this.
