10, BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING 11, COMMENTS

One orange and red object, very
large, was seen by observer to head
across the sky toward the southeast

and disappear. Time of sighting
three seconds, Observer used binocu-
lars.

_

A possibility of the sighting

being astronomical in nature

seems to be valid in the nature

of the description and the time
of the object in sight. Possibly

a meteor,
