10, BRIEF SUMMARY OF SIGHTING

Stationa

One, sometimes
ae 11, COMMENTS

Cne and: sometimes’ three objects... There appeare
to be two small objects to the observer, which
rotated around a larger object. Blue changing }
to yellow. Anperared and disappeared in the NE

Due to the age and probable inexperienc
of the observer the veracity of the da
contained can be doubted. Jt is possitle
that while looking thru binoculars at

star the object could attain color in the
process of the light passing thru the

binoculars and any slight movement of |
the binoculars would tend to give move-| |
ment to the object. The fact that the

object remained in the same position
would tend to support the star theory
